Harbor Oaks - A Timeless Neighborhood in Southport NC

DSCF5616_cropped_335

Whenever I drive into Harbor Oaks, I get a real sense of balance that has to do with the right combination of a unique natural setting and homes with authentic roots to coastal Carolina. Many elements come together here with a result that is pleasing to eye and nurturing to the spirit.

A well-established neighborhood with just under 100 home sites, Harbor Oaks is well-located a half mile from downtown and a mile from the ferry to Ft. Fisher and Carolina Beach. Sometimes a developer will use amenities to help sell a community. This one sells itself. One unique feature I love is that the homes centered around the park have the garage in the rear accessed by a private alley. It makes for a clean and inviting streetscape. To date, there are nine homes on the market from the mid 400s to upper 700s. As far as lots, a dozen are available, ranging in price from 120k-300K. This is the best selection I've seen in some time so if you've been thinking of buying in Southport, and this appeals to you, it's surely worth a look.
