Best Neighborhoods in Nags Head, North Carolina

At Nags Head, the beach can be your front yard, at least until the wind reminds you who owns it. Seven Sisters is an oceanside pocket near the dunes. The Village at Nags Head spreads between the Atlantic and Roanoke Sound, with golf and planned-community amenities shaping the setting.

An ocean-facing address deserves a close look at storm exposure and insurance. In the Village, check association rules and fees before falling for the view. Seven Sisters may put the sand closer to your morning routine, but seasonal traffic and rental activity can change the mood of a street.

The Village at Nags Head

Families

The Village is a 400-acre golf and beach community that sits between the Roanoke Sound and the dunes and surf of the Atlantic. It has homes along the ocean, the sound and the course so you get beautiful views no matter where you live and the added value of being close to the Nags Head Golf Links and priority tee times for being a resident. The homes are magnificent, many with private pools and massive decks, and there is also a community pool and bathhouse that gives the neighborhood a gathering place for events and everyday play.

The Village also has two Southside Parks with piers that extend into the Sound and offer sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, crabbing, swimming, fishing and pretty much everything else you can do on the water. The parks have plenty of room for the kiddos to play and the family to have a picnic.
