There are many areas on the coast of NC to retire, however, none compares to the communities that make up the 27949 zip code. We enjoy a much less transient population  More

The town itself if quaint but typically coastal. In high season you will crawl from traffic light to traffic light. Maybe place to be single but don't grow old alone.  More

Crime here really isnt a 10. The boardwalk gets a lot of drunk people and petty theft during the summer, and that skews the results. Ive stayed here in OC every summer  More
