What are residents saying 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."

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.
