The northernmost accessible town on the Outer Banks, Corolla (pronounced 'cor-Aah-lah') has seen rapid development over the past ten years. Unfortunately, the development has led to the relocation of Corolla’s most famous attraction – the wild ponies, who are now roaming the area north of Carova Beach. One of the biggest landmarks in the area, the Whalehead Club is a favorite visitor destination in Corolla. The 21,000 sq. ft. park houses a private residence, footbridge and boathouse that are open from sunrise to dusk. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a tour provides an enjoyable day trip. Stop off at the historic Currituck Lighthouse, the only North Carolina lighthouse still housed in the original structure. |  | | | Corolla - The Whalehead Club | |
Corolla is home to several planned communities with amenities to please everyone -- Ocean Hill, Corolla Light, Monteray Shores, Buck Island and Ocean Sands, and the newest community, the Currituck Club which features an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Rees Jones. North of Corolla, for 12 miles to the Virginia line, is one of the last stretches of fairly undeveloped barrier beaches on the Outer Banks. Carova and Swan Beach are four-wheel drive paradises, where you can truly get away from it all. These two small ocean to sound communities straddle the narrow barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and Currituck Sound, and the only access is via a four-wheel drive trip on the beach. Lucky visitors will get a first hand look at the pony herd!

Pricing >Multiple Listing Service
When you list your house with a real estate agent who participates in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), you get a lot of service for your money. Depending upon the MLS region, there may be hundreds of participating members.
The real estate agent who lists your home works to get it sold. This is done by marketing directly to home buyers, but an even more powerful tool is marketing your home to other agents who have buyers. Your real estate agent makes all the crucial information about your home available to the other members through the MLS. Information such as your home's location, size, the number of rooms, the style of architecture, what personal property is included, and any other special features is posted. The MLS description will also contain information about any special financing that might be available, showing instructions, and special needs you may have with respect to closing. The MLS is a powerful tool for real estate matchmakers.
