222 Small Dr, Elizabeth City, NC 27909

Why this home stands out

Raw land in the Albemarle Sound corridor is harder to find every year. This parcel on Small Drive puts you outside the noise of the city while keeping Elizabeth City's amenities within easy reach. There are no walls to work around and no layouts to compromise on — you start from zero and build exactly what you want. That kind of blank-slate opportunity is what draws buyers here.

NEWBEGUN LAND and the Elizabeth City real estate market

Small Drive sits in a rural stretch outside Elizabeth City proper. The surrounding area is open and low-density, with a mix of established homesteads and undeveloped tracts. Roads here are quiet, and neighbors tend to give each other space. It is the kind of setting where you hear more birds than traffic. Elizabeth City itself anchors the region as the largest city in the Albemarle Sound area. Downtown is compact and walkable, with a working waterfront on the Pasquotank River. The city has a genuine small-town feel without being isolated — grocery stores, hardware stores, medical offices, and local restaurants are all within a short drive. US-17 connects you north toward Virginia and south toward the Outer Banks corridor. The region draws buyers who want land, water access, and a slower rhythm without sacrificing everyday convenience.

What's nearby

The Newbegun HOA Pavilion is just 0.3 miles away — a community green space that anchors the immediate area. Elizabeth City's core is a short drive, putting grocery runs and errands well within reach. The Pasquotank River waterfront adds a scenic layer to daily life. Camden County's rural roads make for easy cycling or early-morning drives. The Outer Banks are roughly an hour south, making weekend trips to the coast a realistic habit rather than a rare event.
