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: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Isabel
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."

No. Not untill you get down here towards Wilmington where the Cape Fear River meets the ocean. And even then the "highlands" are only like 20' above sea level at best. As far as insurance rates go, they say if you can smell the salt air you're gonna be paying more. As long as you stay out of New Hanover county you should be okay. I live right outside of Wilmington across the county line in Pender county, and I'm within sight of an inlet and the ICW (3-4 rows back) and my insurance is cheaper here than at my other home in Wilm. but no where close to the water.

Willy, take a look at Lake James, it is one of my favorites, but a long way from the coast.

Morehead City / Beaufort is where anyone that boats, fish, and owns a "V" needs to live.
