When you think of North Carolina and waterfront homes, one thinks of the Outer Banks (the TV show on Netflix has made this an even more popular destination). North Carolina’s Outer Banks is a chain of barrier islands known for their beautiful beaches, historic lighthouses (such as Cape Hatteras and Bodie Island Lighthouses), and wild horses. It’s also where the Wright brothers conducted their historic first flight. It may be the most popular body of water in North Carolina, but it is not the only one. In fact, there are many lakes, manmade and natural, and reservoirs throughout North Carolina that are perfect to own a waterfront home. We wanted to show you that North Carolina’s waterfront is more than just the Outer Banks and have included a list of cities with waterfront homes located on Lake Norman, the largest manmade lake in North Carolina, which covers 520 miles of shoreline, and other manmade lakes like Lake Wylie. Check out these towns where waterfront properties are on the market right now:
