Make it your PLACE: the North Carolina Coast.

 
Timely Tips for Cape Fear Living
 

Give Your Thanksgiving Some Coastal Flavor

Along the Southeastern North Carolina coast, Thanksgiving has its own rhythm. This involves salt air drifting through open windows, oysters steaming on the deck, and sweet tea glasses balanced on the porch rail. It’s a holiday that combines seaside simplicity with generations of family recipes and gracious hospitality. Whether you’re on the Carolina coast or tucked along the Intracoastal, coastal Southern Thanksgiving traditions celebrate everything we love about this region: good food, warm company, and a deep sense of home.

Which Coastal County Is Your Perfect Fit?

If you’re coming to southeastern North Carolina from out of state, welcome—smart choice. This stretch of coastline blends big-sky beaches, liveable towns, and lower friction than many coastal markets. But “the coast” is not one place; the feel and the price tag change fast as you cross county lines.

As local agents, we are often asked to compare three neighbor counties with very different vibes and buyer math: Brunswick CountyNew Hanover County, and Pender County. Let's walk through what each county really offers, who they suit, and the practical things that matter the day you move in.
