SOUTH MILLS LANDING and the South Mills real estate market
South Mills is a small, tight-knit community in Camden County, North Carolina, positioned right along the Dismal Swamp Canal corridor.

The area draws people who want space to breathe without sacrificing a reasonable commute to the Hampton Roads metro. US-17 runs through town, connecting you north toward Chesapeake, Virginia, and south toward Elizabeth City in under 30 minutes. Camden County has no city income tax, which is a practical advantage that residents quietly appreciate. If you're weighing homes in this corner of the region, South Mills Landing represents one of the more affordable entry points into new construction along the Virginia–North Carolina border.
