Why this home stands out
What sets 104 Inlet Drive apart is the lot — 0.738 acres in a suburban North Carolina setting where most parcels are a fraction of that size. You get real yard space, real privacy, and room for a garden, a workshop, or simply a long afternoon outside. The single-story layout keeps daily life simple, and the Pine Lakes address puts everyday errands within a half-mile.
PINE LAKES and the Elizabeth City real estate market
Pine Lakes is a quiet, established residential pocket on the outskirts of Elizabeth City, North Carolina — a small city with genuine character anchored by the Pasquotank River and a walkable downtown. The neighborhood itself is low-traffic and unhurried, with mature lots and a mix of ranches and traditional homes that have been here long enough to feel rooted. Elizabeth City earns its nickname 'The Harbor of Hospitality' through a genuinely welcoming community culture, local festivals, and a historic downtown district. Residents here are close enough to the Virginia border to access Hampton Roads amenities while enjoying North Carolina's lower cost of living. Shoppers, diners, and outdoor enthusiasts all find what they need nearby. For buyers who have searched beyond the coast and wondered about communities south of the state line, this part of Pasquotank County offers a grounded alternative to the busier Hampton Roads submarkets — a world away from the crowds of willoughby beach, yet still connected to the broader coastal region.
What's nearby
Daily errands barely require leaving the neighborhood. A Dollar General is just 0.3 miles away for quick runs, and a full Food Lion grocery store is 0.6 miles out. Barley Pizza Family Restaurant and Krispy Krunchy Chicken are both 0.4 miles away when you want a quick meal, with McDonald's another option at 0.5 miles. The Albemarle Family YMCA is 0.6 miles from your front door — a solid resource for fitness, swimming, and community programs. For outdoor time, the Fenwick-Hollowell Wetlands Trail is just 0.7 miles away, offering a natural escape through protected wetlands.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
The USCG Finance Center in Chesapeake is roughly 58 minutes north, making 104 Inlet Drive a workable home base for Coast Guard personnel who prefer North Carolina's pace and price point over Virginia's more competitive submarkets. The nearly three-quarter-acre lot gives families space to spread out, and the single-story layout suits households at every stage.
For families upgrading
If your current home feels like it's running out of room, 104 Inlet Drive offers a different equation. Nearly 1,800 square feet on one level, three bedrooms, two full baths, and almost three-quarters of an acre outside — that's space for a trampoline, a vegetable garden, a fire pit, and still room left over. Pine Lakes is calm and established, the kind of neighborhood where kids can actually play outside.
