Neighborhood Living

Old-fashioned "Americana" might be the best way to describe life in Southport NC and Oak Island's private, gated communities. It's a combination of a traditional seashore sights, smells and sounds...and a friendly, small-town atmosphere.

Southport and Oak Island are both friendly communities offering the "best of both worlds." Take your pick of several championship golf courses...or spend your time enjoying "the way life used to be" on our lovely NC beaches.

It's a matter of choice, one might say, as the residents of Southport NC often do. For those fortunate enough to call Southport "home," this means enjoying life's simple pleasures...like taking an evening stroll along tree-lined streets ... chatting with friends on your front porch ... or simply relaxing in your garden, listening to the birds.

Southport and Oak Island are more than just places to live ... they're true private community neighborhoods, filled with friends and endless possibilities.

The historic charm of Southport will captivate you as you walk under a canopy of 200 year old live oak trees. The antique & collectible shops and restaurants that are in downtown offer shopping and leisurely dining at an outside pub or restaurant along the waterfront or yacht basin. Pedicabs offer historic tours of Southport, you can watch vessels pass by at Waterfront Park or you can enjoy the NC Maritime Museum in Southport.

Our NC beaches, with swimming and other water sport opportunities are always popular. Oak Island, has over 52 public beach accesses (most with parking), two public boat ramps, several areas to put in canoes and kayaks, an extensive sidewalk system for bikes and pedestrians to enjoy, recreation trails, numerous parks and playgrounds, plus a full service parks and recreation department.
