    The islands you saw in North Carolina are the Outer Banks.If you look at a map of North Carolina, there's the Outer Banks Sound, which is the first body of water you come to when driving to the ocean.. After you cross the Sound, you come to the Outer Banks, a group of islands connected by bridges to the mainland. The Sound is fed by both tributaries and the ocean, so is both fresh water and salt water. And $408,000 is pretty high for most of NC, but the coastal areas are where rich folks live.The closer you get to the ocean, the more expensive it is to live.

    • @Laura-mi3nv
      @Laura-mi3nv 3 місяці тому +1

      Do you live in NC? The Outer Banks are north of Southport and they basically stop before you get to New Bern, where the land takes a sharp curve in. There are still islands, but its not part of the Outer Banks. The main island off Southport is Bald Head. The median home price in the entire state of NC is just under 400K, so for a house in a nice beach town, this is not a bad price. Houses in Raleigh and Charlotte are going for much more than this, on average, and no beach. Its also much easier to get to places like Southport and Wrightsville Beach than the Outer Banks. It is such a pain to get to the Outer Banks, but it is beautiful. Even if you're coming from up north, the Outer Banks is such a pain to get to. If you've never been to Wilmington and you'd like a little more fun on your vacay, maybe look into that one year (its right there with Wrightsville Beach). I went to college there and it is such a great place. There is tons of nightlife, tons of beaches because you also have Carolina Beach there. You can take a trip to Carolina Beach, hit the aquarium and then take the ferry down to Southport.

  • @agatehuntress499
    @agatehuntress499 3 місяці тому +2

    Waterfront property is pretty expensive no matter where it is here, except for swamps. If it's even slightly pretty or picturesque, it's going to be more expensive than other houses that aren't by water. Generally, oceanfront is more expensive than lakefront, but there are plenty of exceptions to that rule too - see Lake Tahoe for example, and areas around the Great Lakes.
    I saved over a hundred grand on my house just by buying one that was fifteen minutes away from the ocean instead of one that was in one of the coast towns. I can still be at the ocean in just a few minutes, but it's worth it to me to save the money - plus I live in a rainforest area with creeks and waterfalls, so it's not like I'm suffering for a nice view.

    Many States have beautiful lakes (I live in Colorado) and the homes are more affordable.
    Homes are always more expensive right on the oceanfront and closer to employment and ammenities.
    Vacation or retirement homes on a lake (people working from home) can cost less!
    Salaries are decent enough to buy a $400-500,000 home for the average (not rich) people I know.

    The prices they list are usually historical homes near the water. The prices drop rapidly the farther our you go. We bought 300 acres in rural Maine for about the same price as we paid for a townhouse in Raleigh, North Carolina. Our property is 15 Minutes away from Moosehead Lake in the central highlands area. That is the largest lake on the east coast.

    I live in a very small town with only 3,000 residents, we have six connecting lakes and surrounded by several others, a campground, festivals every year. About 30 minutes from a city to do shopping on a greater scale. Here you can get a lake front home for around 50 tp 75 thousand dollars. Usually large lots with lots of water frontage. Laid back and peaceful. All I ever see on youtube are channels that show you mostly some of the most expensive properties that the average working class could never afford.. So don't be fooled by these videos, this is NOT what I would consider average water front homes for blue color working Americans.. Far from It.

    People usually say Port Townsend is on the Olympic peninsula, rather than the smaller Quimper peninsula off of Olympic Peninsula. Yes people often get a bank loan to buy a boat, they’re for recreation, not transportation. The road is that black because it’s paved with asphalt, not concrete and it looks like they recently refinished it. Cars are shiny because most people take care of them as well as their houses because both are significant investments. Houses with a water view or easy water access are generally more expensive than those without, in the same area. I drive over the Narrows Bridges all the time, the speed limit is 60 mph and usually people are going a little faster, so I have no idea what he’s talking about. What’s in the background of the picture of Sand Point Idaho are mountains with snow on the upper elevations.

    Southport, NC is absolutely beautiful. I went to college very close by and I have friends there. One of my best friends got married at a country club on the beach in Southport, you've never seen such a beautiful spot! Of course, most of the south eastern coastline is beautiful. I haven't seen much of the north east coastline, but I really like the idea of warm beaches and not cold ones. You can almost always swim in Miami, you can not always swim in Maine.
    Southport's average home price isn't that high, especially because its the beach. Average home prices in most of the nicer cities in NC are around that much. It's also not just on the Atlantic, it's also on the mouth of the Cape Fear river. They didn't get the shipping commerce because that all ended up in Wilmington, which is on the north side of the river. But not all the water will look beachside like you're used to seeing. All along the east coast there are tributaries running out, swampy bits, canals, intercoastal waterways and so on. Its pretty cool to live off the canals and waterways. When I was a kid in FL, we lived near Cape Canaveral and I remember a couple of friends living along a waterway and we would just use a little row boat to go back and forth between houses.

    That really black road in Beaufort, SC is just freshly laid asphalt. Asphalt is what the Brits call Tarmack. It's essentially thick crude oil, aka Tar mixed with an agragate rock of some sort. Over time, the tar settles and whatever color the agragate is will come thru on the surface. That road will probably turn gray in a matter of a year or so.

I have, without a doubt, learned more about my own country watching your and several other people's reaction videos than I ever learned in school. This is both because beyond basic geography, states and their capitals, details just were not taught. But its also partly my fault, I was a typical kid who got extremely bored with topics like geography and history, I tuned out all information except that which I knew would be on a test. Anyways... again... thanks!!! And I wanted to share this link with you... I think you would find it interesting.

My absolute favorite place to visit is closer to home, the North Shore of Lake Superior in northern Minnesota. So amazing up there, and all the towns are small, artist communities, great food. And most importantly it’s not expensive. Look up Split Rock Lighthouse, and you’ll get an idea about the kind of views you’ll see there. I really hope you get to visit the US someday. Tho really, throw a dart at the map, and it will most likely be somewhere amazing. 😉 thanks again, your videos are never boring
