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 true Hatteras classic, "Derryneen" has been a respite for family gatherings at the beach throughout its existence. You can tell it has been treated with loving care over the years and appears to be in great shape for the next owner to cherish for years to come. The original cottage includes three bedrooms, a full bath, kitchen with island bar, a dining area and living room. Step through the screened porch breezeway into a separate annex that includes an oversized bedroom, the second full bath, and laundry area in the extra 295 square feet of finished and heated/cooled space for a total of 1128 square feet. This clever setup is simply ideal for a bit of privacy without being completely removed from the festivities. It also allows flexibility for someone who may like the idea of occupying the main part of the house while producing extra income by renting the separate bed and bath, or even a resourceful owner occupant who may benefit from renting the 3 bedroom space out during the prime summer months while quietly occupying the smaller space. The lot offers nice privacy with many trees, parking for 2 cars under the house, parallel parking alongside Croaker Ct, and a lattice enclosure to store your beach toys, bikes, and more. You and your guests will love the quick jot to the beach which is just 4 houses from the ocean. Its central Avon location also gives you easy access to restaurants, a coffee shop, 24-hour gym, and a seafood market located almost across the street in addition to Avon's sidewalk for more exploration. The current owner has lightly rented the home in the past but is not obligated for the 2026 rental season so you have plenty of flexibility to use this home as your primary residence, second home, or vacation rental investment at an affordable price. Ask your favorite Realtor for the full list of updates dating back to the 2006 renovation which included new exterior siding, window replacements and drywall which replaced much of the original paneling. More recently, the home received a new Fortified Roof and interior painting in 2023, a new septic system in 2022, and bathroom updates in 2019 and 2020, and decking in 2017, among other care and updates each year.
