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.

Originally a ground-level home, the structure was professionally raised in 2011 and placed on a new foundation with pilings, along with all-new electrical and plumbing systems. Major upgrades during this phase also included seamless gutters and the replacement of three sliding doors. Between 2011 and 2015, the interior was remodeled, with updates to the primary bedroom, kitchen, and living area, as well as installation of a new HVAC system. Additional improvements include expanded concrete work and driveway runners, replacement and enclosure of under-house insulation, and the addition of a two-tier dock. A metal roof was installed in 2014, providing long-term durability. In 2018, a dedicated storage room was added beneath the home, followed by the installation of a 10,000-lb boat lift in 2019. Outdoor living was further enhanced in 2021 with all-new decks, stairs, and railings. PVC railings and pickets were paired with Trex Enhance Natural composite decking for low-maintenance, long-lasting performance. Most recently, a second kitchen remodel in 2024 transformed the space into a modern, functional centerpiece of the home. With the major structural, mechanical, and waterfront upgrades already completed, the heavy lifting has been done. This canalfront home is ready for you to enjoy everything Colington Harbour has to offer—on land and on the water.
