Cannonsgate at Bogue Sound — The Coastal Community That Changes Everything
What residents say about Cannonsgate
Nigel T.
“Nothing was overlooked when they first designed and built this community. It really does feel like our home is an extension of our vacation. The views are amazing and it means everything to have direct access to the coastal waterways without all the extra hookup, tow, off-load the boat, and park the vehicle. Now, it's board the boat and go."
Crystal T.
"It's fabulous to finally have a place on the water that the entire family can enjoy year round. Moving from a cold climate state to North Carolina has made all the difference in our quality of life. The area is rich in history and we have so much in common with our new neighbors. It took a few months to decide where to retire, but I'm glad we landed here."
Tom R.
"I never imagined being able to have Nags Head views for almost half the cost but after visiting Cannonsgate last year, we decided to put all our chips in and made the move down from up north. Best decision we ever made. Now the kids and grandkids can visit from Ohio and vacation without the worry. We love the walking trails at dusk and the security wave when they see us out walking."

As you plan the purchase of your next home or retirement home, you’re not just buying property,
you’re securing the lifestyle you’ve worked hard to enjoy.
For experienced buyers and retirees, making the right financial choices can significantly enhance both purchasing power and peace of mind.
One strategy worth serious consideration is buying down your mortgage interest rate. While many buyers have never used this technique, it can be a game-changer—especially if you want a larger or more desirable home without dramatically increasing your monthly payment.
But today’s interest rates present a challenge. Even well-prepared buyers can feel the pinch of higher monthly mortgage payments, making it harder to get the home that truly fits your retirement vision.
That’s where a mortgage rate buydown comes in.
This guide will explain how buying down your loan can help you afford a higher-priced home while securing a lower monthly payment.
