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.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY to own a piece of Roanoke Island history. This charming craftsman-style bungalow, built in 1930, is nestled behind a white picket fence on just over half an acre of lush landscaping and specimen plantings. A stroll around the grounds brings a sense of peacefulness and appreciation for nature's beauty. This gardener's paradise includes a shed with a potting area and outdoor shower surrounded by grapevines, multiple fruit-bearing trees (chestnut, pecan, pear, persimmon, and mature fig trees), and a small Koi pond awaiting attention from the next owner. Formerly used as a studio/office, an almost magical cedar shake structure offers numerous opportunities for a craftsman or artist to hone their skills. A large street-facing, detached garage provides exceptional storage and space for a woodworking shop, a boat, a collectible car, or other hobbies. Entering the home from the rear, you'll be greeted by a stunning native Umbrella Magnolia offering seasonal displays of spring flowers, summer and fall fruits, and smooth gray bark in winter. The home has been lovingly updated, and the pre-listing inspection (available to serious prequalified buyers) highlights areas needing attention. The report indicates the home has been rewired and replumbed. The owner has taken steps to ensure the home is safe and watertight. Recently, the home was cleared of all personal property and deep-cleaned, revealing beautiful oak and pine flooring. As you walk through the home, the sturdiness of its structure and the integrity of its original framing are readily apparent. Significant renovations include an ensuite bathroom with vaulted ceilings and a spacious reading area with a wall of windows overlooking the gardens. Another renovation repurposed the back porch, incorporating it into a remodeled kitchen with quarry tile flooring, a tile backsplash, a vaulted breakfast room, and establishing a large rear entry area with an inside laundry space. The dining and living rooms retain their original gracious design for gathering friends and family. The ground floor also features an ensuite primary bedroom. The second floor offers three additional bedrooms and a full bath, with all bead-board walls and ceilings original. Step outside to the broad front porch to enjoy the serenity and sounds of nature. Many windows have been replaced with ANDERSON products, though some window hardware needs attention as noted in the inspection report. The plumbing includes galvanized and PEX piping and the water heater is a 2010 NORITZ LP gas tankless on-demand unit located outside in an enclosure. The home has two heat systems: a 2005 York Heat Pump combined with a gas furnace for the ground floor, AND A NEW TRANE 2024 14.2 SEER-2Ton HEAT PUMP with a NEW 2024 TRANE AIR HANDLER AND THERMOSTAT FOR THE SECOND FLOOR. The home is being sold AS IS, and we are happy to provide a copy of the pre-listing Home Inspection Report dated 4/1/2024 for prequalified buyers.
