Here in Carova, NC the tides are an important part of our daily like. For most coastal communities knowing the tides is helpful for people boating or fishing, here it is important for driving. Since getting anywhere commercial from even the closest house requires a 2 mile drive on the beach itself, it can be very advantageous to know when low tied is so you can drive on the smooth hard packed sand rather than the dry sugar sand that Carova is well known for.   So as a Public Service, I will be posting the tides weekly each Sunday. If you would like to get the tides delivered to you daily, you can follow me on Twitter or like myFacebook Fan Page.     Carova Weekly Tides: Sunday: Low/2:29AM High/8:33AM Low/2:42PM High/8:57PM Monday: Low/3:21AM High/9:22AM Low/3:29PM High/9:47PM Tuesday: ...

Compared to January's sales in Carova, February has definitely picked up despite the unusually cold winter. My belief is still that 2011 will see the most transactions in 5 years, and that this can be the first step to recovery. This is proving to be a great year for real estate sales in Carova, NC.   Here is a list what what has sold this past month.

  The NC Toll Authority and the Federal Highway Administration has confirmed the Preferred Alternative for the proposed Mid-Currituck Bridge. The Preferred Alternative would intersect NC 12 between the first phase of the Corolla Bay subdivision and the northern end of Monteray Shores subdivision and includes a toll plaza at the US 158 interchange and a two-lane bridge over Maple Swamp between the interchange and the Aydlett community. The plan also calls for parts of NC 12 to be widened to four lanes. They include stretches along the bridge landing and the area between the Food Lion/TimBuck II Shopping Center and Currituck Clubhouse Drive. One of the proposals for the bridge project included a toll facility in the heart of the Aydlett community. Many residents expressed opposition to t...

For over 40 years Carova, NC has been completly zoned Residential. Instead of Carova becomming another Sandbridge or Corolla, it developed intosomething truly unique. Carova became an 11 mile stretch of beach with no gas stations, no gift stores, no liquer stores, and even no pavement. Instead it became a group of communities whose residents enjoy the peacefullness of not having those things and choose to live among the deer, foxes and other wild animals that live int he surrounding wildlife refuges including the Corolla Wild Horses. Over the years the owners of any potential comercial parcels came to realize the path that Carova has taken, and over time they have given portions back to the county and subdivided the rest into residential lots. Now one owner remains, Gerald Freedman. He...

Groundhog Day as come and gone. Phil didn't see his shadow, it's time to gear up for an early spring and hopefully a beautiful Valentine's day. To get ready for that event the people at Carova's Recycling Center have already started decorating. So let's all do our part to help out and "Put Your Heart Into Recycling".  :)
