Why this home stands out
Lots this size in established waterfront-adjacent neighborhoods don't surface often in Elizabeth City. At 0.471 acres, 305 Grandview Drive gives you genuine breathing room — enough space to design a custom footprint, add a garage, plan a garden, or simply leave a buffer between you and the rest of the world. Tooley Harbor's established feel means you're not building in a vacuum; there's already a sense of community here.
TOOLEY HARBOR and the Elizabeth City real estate market
Tooley Harbor sits on the outskirts of Elizabeth City, a small coastal city in Pasquotank County that punches well above its size when it comes to livability. The neighborhood carries a quiet, settled character — mature trees, generous lots, and the kind of pace that makes weekends feel like weekends. Elizabeth City itself is often called the 'Harbor of Hospitality,' and that reputation holds up. Downtown is a genuine destination, with independent restaurants, a working waterfront on the Pasquotank River, and a historic district worth exploring on foot. The region's natural beauty shifts dramatically through the seasons, and if you've been searching for land where you can experience va foliage from your own backyard, this part of northeastern North Carolina delivers exactly that. The broader Albemarle Sound area draws outdoor enthusiasts year-round — kayakers, anglers, and cyclists all find reasons to stay. Elizabeth City is also a practical place to live, with a regional medical center, a solid retail corridor on the south side of town, and easy highway access toward the Outer Banks or Hampton Roads.

If staying active matters to you, the USCG MWR Gym is 0.6 miles away, offering a convenient fitness option close to home. The Pasquotank River waterfront and downtown Elizabeth City are a short drive, putting restaurants, shops, and the marina within easy reach whenever you want a change of scenery.
