Ward Shore Real Estate

Smaller, More affordable homes are future

Raymonds Legacy and Ward Shore Builders of Swansboro NC (An Energy Star Partner) are busy building smaller, more affordable homes in Hubert NC.  The site which borders Camp Lejeune’s military base in Jacksonville NC is just what people are asking for.  New surveys show homeowners are looking to slim down, hoping for less space to heat and cool and cheaper mortgage payments. The new movement is not just a passing fad, baby boomers are now empty nesters. Combine that with a slumping economy and the trend has real appeal.

The new 156 unit project is in its third phase and has been a success so far. The low density layout combined with energy efficient living has made the project a hit. Add in the fact there are no city taxes , wood decks, lots of green space and low homeowners dues seem to add to the appeal. If you are looking to relocate due to military orders or to be closer to the beach, give us a look.

Please call Ashley Melton 910.539.5600 with any further questions.

Swansboro 55th Annual Mullet Festival

The town of Swansboro held it annual mullet festival.  The weather cooperated for the event being held in its 55th year. The streets were filled with people, tents, food and activities. The music could be heard from blocks and the intracoastal waterway filled with boats. 

The festival started over fifty years ago as a celebration for the bridge across the white oak river.  At the festival you can order mullet grilled, fried, smoked, stewed etc. and see tons of arts and crafts. Although rain drops were felt throughout the weekend, they did not keep local or tourists form enjoying parade, bands, dancing and food. This years festival proved to be yet another success.
