Why Live in Gloucester

Gloucester, North Carolina, is a waterfront community with a rich maritime heritage, where boating remains a central part of local culture. Situated within easy reach of Harkers Island and Beaufort, Gloucester offers a mix of newer waterfront homes and older ranch-style houses inland. While the proximity to water is a draw for many, the area faces severe flooding risks, particularly from hurricanes and tropical storms, necessitating flood insurance for homeowners. Elevated beach cottage-style homes near the water are common, while inland properties tend to be older ranch-style houses. Recreational features include public boat ramps and nearby Eastern Park in Smyrna, which offers sports facilities. Residents can take ferries to Cape Lookout National Seashore for beach outings. U.S. Highway 70 serves as the main thoroughfare, with Beaufort located about 10 miles away. Local amenities include a Dollar General, Crossroads Pizza, and nearby eateries in Smyrna. For broader shopping and dining options, residents often head to Beaufort, accessible by both road and boat. Educational opportunities are provided by highly rated Smyrna Elementary, Harkers Island Elementary, and Down East Middle. Gloucester also hosts the Down East Branch of the Carteret County Public Library, offering community events and access to regional festivals like the Core Sound Decoy Festival on Harkers Island.
