Why this home stands out
New construction in 2025 means everything here is yours first — fresh systems, modern finishes, and a clean slate. Tooley Harbor (Bahia Mar) sits right on the water in Elizabeth City, giving this four-bedroom home a setting that blends small-city convenience with genuine coastal calm. The square footage hits a practical sweet spot: spacious enough for a growing household, manageable enough to actually enjoy.
TOOLEY HARBOR and the Elizabeth City real estate market
Tooley Harbor is a waterfront community tucked along the Pasquotank River on the northeastern edge of Elizabeth City, North Carolina — a city that punches well above its size when it comes to character. Elizabeth City earned its nickname, "The Harbor of Hospitality," honestly: the downtown marina draws boaters from up and down the Intracoastal Waterway, and the walkable historic district offers independent restaurants, galleries, and a genuine sense of place. Pasquotank County keeps property taxes competitive, and the overall cost of living sits comfortably below the national average. The Tooley Harbor neighborhood itself has a quiet, established feel — waterfront lots, mature trees, and neighbors who tend to stay a while. You're close enough to the Virginia border to access Hampton Roads amenities without paying Hampton Roads prices, and the Outer Banks are roughly an hour south when a beach day calls.
What's nearby
Day-to-day life in Tooley Harbor is more convenient than the address might suggest. Hangar 7, a popular local restaurant, is just half a mile away — an easy walk or a two-minute drive when you'd rather someone else cook. Big Daddy's Pizza is under a mile out for those Friday-night calls. A Dollar General covers quick grocery runs at 0.7 miles. Notably, the USCG MWR Gym is only 0.6 miles from the property, making it one of the more accessible fitness options in the area for eligible users.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
The USCG Finance Center in Chesapeake is roughly 67 minutes north — a commute that's workable, especially given Elizabeth City's significantly lower cost of living compared to the Hampton Roads market. The USCG MWR Gym is practically at your doorstep at 0.6 miles, and new construction means you're moving into a home with zero deferred maintenance on day one.
For families upgrading
Four bedrooms and 2,022 square feet give everyone room to spread out, and being built in 2025 means you're starting with current energy standards, modern mechanicals, and none of the renovation projects that come with older homes. Add a waterfront neighborhood and a short drive to Elizabeth City's downtown, and this is the kind of upgrade that actually changes how you live.
