Northside Home for Rent

Northside in Elizabeth City features a blend of urban and rural elements, with Victorian farmhouses and ranch-style homes from the early 20th century. These homes often include ornate details like gable brackets and wraparound porches, and many sit on small lots with old-growth trees. Waterfront properties are particularly sought-after for their affordability compared to nearby coastal areas. Knobbs Creek Park, located just north of the neighborhood, offers a playground, a Par 3 golf course, and hosts events at the Knobbs Creek Recreation Center. The park also features Holmes Baseball Field, where residents can watch Elizabeth City State University's baseball team. The South Park Sports Complex, about 2 miles away, provides additional recreational options with lighted baseball and softball fields, a driving range, and batting cages. Northside is primarily residential but is within a mile of Downtown Elizabeth City, which boasts a revitalized riverfront district with diverse dining options, historical tours, and seasonal events like the Music on the Green concert series. For shopping and medical needs, residents frequent the University Plaza Shopping Center along U.S. Route 17, where a new hospital is set to open in 2024. Northside's proximity to major highways offers convenient access to Norfolk, Virginia, and the Outer Banks, both approximately 50 miles away. Some homes near the Pasquotank River may experience tidal flooding. Schools in the area include Elizabeth City-Pasquotank Public Schools, and the small Mid-Atlantic Christian University located on the neighborhood’s waterfront.
