Bald Head Island, NC Condo for Sale

With the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Cape Fear River to the west, Bald Head Island is a secluded beach village with country club amenities and a sleepy, vacation town atmosphere. Accessible only by passenger ferry from the nearby town of Southport, no cars are allowed on Bald Head Island, with residents and vacationers travelling through the village via golf cart or on bikes. While some young professionals and families with school-age kids live in the community, the vast majority of residents are retired, with a median age of 69. “Since 2020, our full-time population has almost doubled,” says David Wray, a former community resident and Realtor with Intracoastal Realty Corporation. “People love how quiet it is here. You have no noise pollution from traffic, and even in the busy season, our beaches are never packed.” Coastal-style beach houses are most common in the area, from bungalows to expansive multi-story builds. Most homes have in-ground pools and large windows facing the water, with wooded lots near the center of the island providing privacy from neighbors. Even though there are no cars in the area, many houses have driveways and garages for storing golf carts and
