Pender County Many of the properties on
Topsail Island are second homes or investment properties. However, the
number of year-round residents continues to grow as more small subdivisions
are built on the sound and Intracoastal Waterway and nestled in the maritime
forests. The majority of these homes are occupied by retirees who enjoy the
relaxed beach lifestyle. Properties most in demand are the large homes on
the oceanfront and other waterfront locations. The trend continues to be
toward rising prices, and property purchased today will be viewed as a
bargain tomorrow. You can expect to pay an average of $700,000 to $1.5
million for a single-family oceanfront home. Land is limited on this barrier
island, and many retirees and new families relocating to the area often
choose to live on the mainland, which is still close enough to the beach to
feel like they are on a lifelong vacation. |

Hampstead, once a small fishing village and a whistle stop alongside the
Atlantic Coast Line RR, is one of the fastest growing areas in the state.
Many neighborhoods front the waterway, more are along the numerous creeks
and even more line the area's four golf courses. The land side of the sound
is officially referred to as Topsail Township and includes many small
unincorporated communities and the larger community of Hampstead. There are
still quaint fishing shacks on the banks of the Intracoastal Waterway,
though most are being replaced by much larger homes as new people move into
the area. Hampstead, and in fact all of Pender County, is seeing growth and
change come quickly, and farmlands once used for blueberries and tobacco are
growing houses and neighborhoods as development of the area increases.
Hampstead is home to two large wholesale-only
fresh fish dealers. Every September, J. H. Lea & Sons contributes about
5,000 lbs. of fish to the yearly Spot Festival, the event of the year in the
town. There is also a marina, a full-service boat yard and lots of golf
courses. History is everywhere, mostly related to marauding pirates. Topsail
Inlet was a frequently used entrance to Topsail Sound, a hideout for
Blackbeard, Steede Bonnett and Captain Kidd.
