what insurance? i can't get any thanks to Clinton. after the 2 hurricanes of 96. Personally i would steer you clear of the Northern part of the NC coast. there is nothing up there and miles to any major city or airport. stay from Beaufort south if you go coastal. Willy email Linda Shingleton she's with Coastland Reality in Carteret County. She could send you some info on what is in that area. Plus she's not bad looking either.

http://www.coastland.com/images/SalesStaff/ls.jpgLet Linda put her 25 years of experience and exceptional service to work for you. She will help you find the best value for your real estate investment dollars and have fun along the way.
My real estate career began in Kinston, North Carolina in 1983. Helping others has always been important to me. I loved helping buyers find that first home, helping growing families find larger homes. working with newcomers, and especially seniors sizing down or moving closer to family. I was among the top producers and also served as President of the Board of Realtors.
Emerald Isle has been part of my life since early childhood, which was during the ferry days. I grew up vacationing here; and as a teenager coming on the weekends. I knew one day I would live at the Beach. After marrying and having two children, we were able to buy a getaway at Emerald Isle. This was a dream come true. It's a great way to spend more time with your kids and meet their friends.
After my husband died in 1994 and my kids were on their own, I moved to Emerald Isle and started a new life and career with CENTURY 21 Coastland Realty, a great company and a great move for me. Working at the Beach is such a fun market. I love helping buyers find that perfect second home or just the right investment property. I especially love when customers come back to me or refer a friend or family member. What a compliment! My office wall display achievements and awards I have earned; my favorite are quality service awards and Centurion.
When I am not working, I'm playing. I like yoga, tennis, dancing, reading on the Beach, and I am the greatest grandma. My work has enabled me to meet so many people and make so many friends. I love what I do and also try to do my best. Let me put my best to work for you.

Willy:

If your going to live your considering living on the coast and communting to NJ - you better added a significant amount of time to your travel time to account for "summer" traffic getting off the outter banks. It's a real mess during the rental season. It's been improved, but there is still no "easy" way to get from the Outter Banks to the CCBT tunnel to run up Hwy 13.

Kamikaze

While I absolutely love the outerbanks I don't think I'd live there. They do get hammered from time to time by the canes. I was there 2 weeks before Isabelle hit several years ago. The cottages we stayed in along with the local watering hole right across the street got completely wiped out. Not far down the highway the storm tore a new inlet dubbed "Isabelle Inlet" from ocean to sound. Big enough for pretty good sized boats to pass through.....before they filled it back in, which was an amazing feat of engineering IMO.

Link Highlight: "In North Carolina, the storm surge from Isabel washed out a portion of Hatteras Island to form what was unofficially known as Isabel Inlet. Damage was greatest along the Outer Banks, where thousands of homes were damaged or destroyed."

Do you guys have any high bluff type coast lines or are they all low country spots?

all low here

But Willy, Crown Royal and Coronas grow on trees down here. :laugh:

That works:beer:

Well...there's this little knoll down there...I think they call it Kitty Hawk...you mighta heard of it...:laugh:
