The Trestles Townhouse is a 15-unit community with 8 slips on the Pasquotank River. The slips are assigned to individual properties and may not be sold to non-owners. They can be transferred within the community. The community includes both single-story and 2-story models.
Bayview Townes is an 8-unit condominium complex on the north shore of the Pamlico River. It's remote. You'll be about 10 miles from a proper grocery store and 15 miles from Washington, NC. Docks are well maintained and a good facility for small craft.
Bay Harbour's community dock provides 12 slips for landlocked residents. Boats must be under 10 feet tall to clear the bridge across Blounts Creek and access the Pamlico River and beyond.
River Bend is a 10-unit condominium complex just east of downtown Elizabeth City on the banks of the Pasquotank River, with a well-equipped marina that can handle boats up to 40 feet. All units have river views from three levels of decks. Units are available in 2- and 3-bedroom configurations. The condos include deeded slips in a well-equipped marina and a community pool.
This is a duplex on Elizabeth City's waterfront in an older renovated building looking east over the Pasquotank River. One of the units sold through the MLS in 2020. The square footage was not given in the listing but it had 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Photos showed that it had a high grade of finishing detail, granite countertops, hardwood floors and wainscoting throughout and a very large deck. The finishing work was very formal, Each unit had one boat slip with a power left. I wasn't able to determine the length of the slips but one held a run about and the other a pontoon boat.
This would be great downtown living with shops and restaurants at your back and dinner cruises on the Pasquotank. Manteo would not be out of reach at 36 miles and there's Herford and Edenton west along the Albemarle Sound

Pembroke Creek Townhouses is a unique complex of 18 townhouses in the Edenton community. Edenton is a one of the true gems of North Carolina's inland coast. Somewhat remote, and small with only around 4500 it is still a viable town and the architectural legacy of its prosperous past is visible everywhere. It's a little over an hour's drive to either Greenville NC or Norfolk VA, or a little over 2 hours from Raleigh. The townhouses are on the western side of the historical downtown arranged in three clusters around a courtyard all overlooking its marina on Pembroke Creek. of But it is remote. The townhouse are staggered to improve views and look similar to brownstones or row houses. They vary in size and design, some have single car garages, some do not. They range in size from around 1900 to 3500 square feet with anywhere from 2 to 4 bedrooms. Each has a gated yard behind the house leading to the open courtyard and the marina beyond. The complex was built in 1990 and modifications have been made to individual units over the years. They are all three stories and none appear to have elevators. You enter onto the second floor and there is a basement floor below. Most appear to have formal dining rooms, there are occasional fireplaces, most are ventless.
Riverwinds Townhomes was originally platted for 7 townhomes. Only 4 have been built to date. However, the 10-slip docks are fully completed. Some of the townhomes have been conveyed with 2 slips, while others have only one. The slips are deep enough to accommodate sailboats up to 35 feet, perhaps more.

Cabin Creek is a 14-parcel subdivision on Cabin Creek off the Bay River, which leads to the point where the Neuse River and the Pamlico Sound converge. Lots in Cabin Creek range from 1.2 to 5 acres, all of which are waterfront. Nonetheless, they have a well-protected common dock with 11 slips on the Bay River. Slips are 35 feet in length; the docks are a fixed height with a wooden frame and a concrete-based 'hog slat' decking. The slips are doubles with piles, and several have power lifts.
This area will require more research on my part. There are three neighborhoods, each with its own docks. I'll try to clarify the situation soon and make another visit.
Lord Carteret Condos shares a common dock with 1013 Front Street, a 5-unit complex just behind it. Lord Carteret Condos has 4 units each at approximately 1170 square feet, 3 bedrooms 2 baths. These condos were built in 1975, so it is reasonable to expect modifications. Each unit is one level, with two units on the ground floor and 2 on the second. There is no elevator. Beaufort's downtown waterfront is less than a half mile away.
The common docks are right across the street on Taylor Creek. Slips are assigned. They are marketed at 25 feet, but the back piles are 30 feet from the dock. The docks are basic but well maintained and would be fine for craft under 25 feet for cruising downtown Beaufort, Morehead City, and beyond.
A small subdivision with 12 very substantial homes and 8 slips. All of the houses in 1612 Front Street subdivision (yep, that's the name) are on the western side of Carrot Island Lane which runs perpendicular to Front Street, which is running parallel to Taylor's Creek. The docks are well maintained and equipped for a community facility. Most of the slips are equipped with power lifts. Slips may be rented to residents but can not be sold to anyone outside of the subdivision.
This is a great location for dinner cruises to Beaufort and Morehead City or exploring the undeveloped islands of the area.
Beaufort Landing is one of three neighborhoods in a row along Taylor Creek that share the name Beaufort Landing. This Beaufort Landing consists of 15 parcels beginning on the east side of Tidal Pond. The second, or Beaufort Landing Townhomes, is made up of 40 units in clusters of 4 and 5, which are legally condominiums, not townhomes. The third is Beaufort Landing Village comprised of 28 condominiums. Each neighborhood has it's own association with different association fees and it's own docks.
So this Beaufort Landing, the farthest to the West, boarding on the east by a small pond called Tidal Pond, consists single family homes on 15 parcels. Across Front Street to the south they have a well maintained marina of 27 slips. Most of the slips have power lifts. There's a pavilion and sitting area.
Masons Bluff is a 10-parcel subdivision around a single street and cul-de-sac running from Middle Sound Loop Road to the intracoastal waterway in northeastern New Hanover County. Three of the 10 parcels are waterfront, with the remaining 7 landlocked. None of the three waterfront properties have private docks, so the common dock has 10 slips. It's a bit of a hike to the slips, which are 200 yards from the shore. There is a pavilion at the docks. The slips are 30 feet long, with double slips, full fingers, and piles in between. All slips accept one boat; one appeared to have a power lift. The docks are right off the intracoastal waterway, with no breakwater, and are subject to wake buffeting.
All of the slips, except one, are equipped with power lifts. The docks are floating with wood framing and wood decking. They have utility pedestals.
