The Welcome Home Countdown


We all love the beach – it’s one of the reasons people choose to live in Eastern North Carolina! But if you already live in the area, you know there can be some downsides to living too close to the beach. Jarvis Landing is strategically located so that you are near the beach without having to experience any of these drawbacks. One Jarvis Landing perk – the cost. As you can imagine, the closer you get to the beach, real estate prices increase. Our townhomes are affordably priced to make your dream a reality. Here are some of the added benefits of choosing a home at Jarvis Landing – close to the beach, but not too close.

Accessibility

Jarvis Landing is located in Jarvisburg, N.C., midway between Currituck and Kitty Hawk. Our townhome community is set back just off Currituck Hwy., so you’ll be near the easiest route for commuting. It’s about a 40 minutes’ drive to both Chesapeake and Elizabeth City – being closer to these larger cities means you’ll have more shopping, dining, and healthcare options, to name a few.


If you’re already an Eastern North Carolina resident, you know how much there is to see and do in the region. Jarvis Landing is central to a wide variety of opportunities for recreation. And, the community is a 20 minutes’ drive to beach access. You’ll be in the position to enjoy the wealth of activities around Jarvisburg.


Sense Of Community


While the oceanfront area is delightful, it can feel very congested at times, especially during tourist season. Jarvis Landing offers year-round-living close to the beach, but far enough away to have the sense of community you’ve been looking for. When you live at the beach, it is likely that many of your neighbors will come and go in the summer months. For some, this can cause uneasiness. Knowing who your neighbors are and connecting with them can provide peace of mind – having a community of permanent residents to go home to is invaluable.


Jarvis Landing provides the best of both worlds – you can enjoy all the fun and beauty the beach has to offer and then easily retreat to your own tight-knit community. Plus, living in a small town like Jarvisburg comes with quiet contentment.


Less Maintenance


The closer you live to the ocean, the more maintenance your home will require. The best beach days are made of sand, salt, and sun, but when your home is closer to the beach, these elements create the need for consistent home care. Whether it be regularly washing the windows to prevent corrosion or painting exterior surfaces that fade and chalk, the tasks might seem endless. You’ll deal with more pests, have to take extra measures to prevent mold and mildew, and have your HVAC serviced more regularly. Metals will rust, and unprotected wood will warp. Beach conditions can do a number on your home.


At Jarvis Landing, these concerns won’t be yours. Even the landscaping is taken care of! Less maintenance and repairs means more time for fun in the sun. The most you’ll have to worry about is what time you’re heading to the pool.


Less Weather Exposure


Apart from routine maintenance, the closer you live to the beach, the more susceptible your home will be to storm damage. Jarvis Landing is situated in a non-hazard area of Currituck County. In choosing the location of Jarvis Landing, thoughtful planning was involved – close to the beach, but not too close.


The Outer Banks are no stranger to intense storms – the risk of wind and flood damage, and the cost of associated repairs is something you have to take into account the closer you live to the beach. More maintenance and higher insurance premiums mean spending more time and money on your home and less on the activities you enjoy.


Our premier community is the first of its kind in Eastern Carolina and the Outer Banks. With affordable low-maintenance homes and an inviting community clubhouse and pool – a carefree lifestyle close to the beach, but not too close…is yours to enjoy!
