Outer Banks Retirement Homes

The Outer Banks does not really have any purely retirement communities. There are areas, mostly on the westside of the big road, populated mostly with year round residents, affectionately referred to as locals. There are no communities composed of only seniors. A couple of communities tried starting out that way but they failed and then became homoginzed mix of old and young. The Outer Banks tends to attract the more active seniors who want to live in an age eclectic neighborhood. We humans tend to reflect our environment so living around younger people can have a positive effect.

Everybody has their own ideas and aspirations about how they will spend their retirement years. You have probably already spent a lot of time figuring out what you will be doing in your Golden Years. This is probably why you are here looking at retirement homes.

The Outer Banks has a lot to offer to retirees. Low taxes, low crime, great community senior centers and plenty of flat level nature for those who want to get outside and stay active.

I am not going to tell you how or what to do with your Golden Years, I am sure you already know, but I will share what years of experience have shown. The biggest commonality amongst people is the deteriorating condition of our knees. None of our knees are getting any better which brings up our first topic.


Stairs

The Outer Banks is full of stairs, and stairs, like my forehead and prostrate, seem to be getting bigger every year. Stairs are one of the major concerns shared by soon to be seniors when shopping for their retirement home. Having hospitals and such nearby is great, but having to navigate stairs during the course of your routine day can make life miserable.

Add in an extra set or 2 of stairs to get up to the kitchen and living area on the top floor, and it can become insurmountable. These types of houses are commonly referred to as 'Reverse Floor Plans' and are best suited to the more physically inclined unless they are equipped with an elevator.


One Level Living

The most popular style house for retirees is the rancher or rambler. The entire house is situated on one floor built close to the ground. Minimal stairs to get in and no stairs inside. The only downside is they tend to sprawl as the square footage starts to increase.

You won't find many homes on the Outer Banks that are built directly on the ground. Our low elevation puts most of the OBX in some type of flood zone which requires the homes to be elevated.

If the ground is 10 feet above sea level then a house can be built right on the ground. The houses below are ranchers, scroll down further for other style houses.

Elevated Ranchers

There are areas on the Outer Banks where the ground has some elevation. If the ground elevation is 7 feet, which is very common, then a 3 foot high masonry foundation will supply enough elevation to meet the flood insurance requirements and shorten the entrance stairs.

You can have a rambler or rancher where everything is spread out on one level except that it is built a couple of feet up off the ground. The houses below should be those on masonry foundations with minimal elevation. Scroll down further for different style homes.

Welcome to Laughing Gull — a sweet oceanside cottage in the heart of Avon, just a quick stroll to the beach at the end of the street. Less than 300 feet to the sand and minutes from the iconic Avon Pier, this location makes beach days easy and salty breezes a part of everyday life. Nestled among beautiful old-growth cedar trees, this classic Hatteras Island hideaway has all the charm you’ve been dreaming of. Step inside to an open and airy layout where the living room flows right into the dining area and kitchen — perfect for gathering after a fun day on the water. Down the hall are three comfy bedrooms, including a queen ensuite with an updated bath, along with a freshly renovated hall bath. Both bathrooms feature large tiled showers and a clean coastal feel. The outdoor living here is just as special. Enjoy your morning coffee on the spacious sun deck, rinse off sandy toes in the outdoor shower, or serve up some fresh catch at the covered picnic area. Under the house, there’s tons of room to expand your outdoor hangout space, and a large storage shed keeps all the beach toys tucked away. The backyard feels wonderfully private, surrounded by mature coastal trees — a perfect spot for pets, games, or future outdoor projects. And don’t forget the large attic with pull-down access for even more storage. Avon’s convenient lifestyle is just the cherry on top — the island’s only major grocery store, hardware store, and pharmacy are close by, along with favorite local hangouts like Pangea Tavern, Gidget’s Pizza, Sunrise Seafood Market, and the Avon Pier. Adventure is calling too — Canadian Hole is just down the road for world-class windsurfing, kiteboarding, and unforgettable soundside sunsets. Whether you’re looking for a laid-back full-time home, a fun family getaway, or a smart rental investment, Laughing Gull checks all the boxes — affordability, location, and that cozy OBX vibe that keeps everyone coming back.
