The taste of the Ocean air as it whips past you is something that always leaves a vibrant memory in a person’s mind; refreshing and peaceful. Living by the sea was once the preserve of many but, as expansion brought about commuter towns, more and more people have moved away from the coasts. The town of Corolla, North Carolina is the type of place that will bring people back.

Rapid development over that last decade has seen a dramatic increase in construction in this area of Dare County. Excellent foresight and planning have, however, led to low density housing that has kept the beauty of the town alive, whilst simultaneously building the area around it.

Developing a reputation as an affluent vacation paradise, Corolla has taken the image of the sleepy village and merged it with upscale, multimillion dollar homes that look out onto the Atlantic Ocean surrounded by beaches of such beauty that they were listed in USA weekends list of the ‘Ten best undiscovered beaches on the East Coast’ . Recreation doesn’t stop with the beaches as there is also sailing and other pursuits, such as golf, available to those who live in the area.

Impressive shopping and athletics facilities line the downtown core of Corolla; residents can browse a variety of stores or play a round of golf. It really is their choice.

A paradise to those who live in Corolla, the town has a quality and feel that is unapproachable elsewhere in the state.
