Down East Real Estate

Bonded by their close ties to the sea and a common heritage many people living Down East are still involved in commercial fishing, crabbing and boat building. The water, and access to it, is incredibly important to the way of life in the communities here. Attractive to avid fishermen, beachcombers and boaters, life here seems to revolve around the communities’ relationship to the ocean.

The area’s wildlife is also an integral part of living in Down East. Beautiful waterfowl circle the blue skies above and local parks are filled with a variety of animals that seem to enjoy the peacefulness here as much as the residents. Mariner’s Park, located in Sea Level, features tennis courts playground equipment and softball/baseball fields. Smyrna’s Eastern Park features tennis courts, outdoor basketball court, horseshoe pits and beach volleyball court, playgrounds and picnic shelters perfect for enjoying the great outdoors. For the true nature lover, the Cedar Island Wildlife Refuge and the Cape Lookout national Seashore are terrific ways to get out and enjoy the natural wonders here.
