Why this home stands out
Square footage is the first thing you notice — 3,035 square feet across three bedrooms and three full baths gives everyone room to spread out without compromise. Built in 1996, the home sits in a period of residential construction known for solid bones and practical layouts. Elizabeth City properties at this scale are genuinely rare, and 702 Everett Drive lands in a part of town that feels established and unhurried.
ALL OTHERS AREA 216 and the Elizabeth City real estate market
Elizabeth City carries the nickname 'The Harbor of Hospitality,' and it earns it. Situated along the Pasquotank River in Northeastern North Carolina, this small city of roughly 17,000 people punches above its weight in charm, history, and livability. The downtown waterfront draws boaters traveling the Intracoastal Waterway, and the free dockage program has made Elizabeth City something of a legend among the sailing community. The Museum of the Albemarle, a regional campus of Elizabeth City State University, and a walkable main street with local restaurants and shops give the city real cultural texture. Everett Drive sits in a residential pocket that feels like a proper neighborhood — mature trees, quiet streets, and neighbors who tend to stay. For families comparing Elizabeth City homes for sale, the combination of lot size, square footage, and community character at this price point is genuinely difficult to match anywhere else in the region.

For different buyers
For families upgrading
Three full baths and 3,035 square feet mean the days of waiting in line for the shower are firmly behind you.

Elizabeth City's pace of life makes the upgrade feel even more worthwhile.

Elizabeth City is the kind of place that rewards people who take the time to find it. The waterfront culture, the boating community, the historic downtown, and the unhurried rhythm of Northeastern North Carolina all add up to something you can't manufacture.
