New High Quality Homes "in the town" of Manteo
Starting in the low to mid $200′s- Cedar Bay is a 42-lot development of home and lot packages, located in the quaint town of Manteo, on historic Roanoke Island. It is due west of Downtown Manteo, where one will find a variety of boutiques, shops, restaurants and galleries. There is a general store, an independent bookstore, a coffee shop, antique stores and estate and fine jewelry.

There are several local art galleries, and a waterfront salon and spa. Parks and playgrounds are available for the young and the young at heart. The town boardwalk winds along the waterfront of Shallowbag Bay, where local residents and far-flung visitors alike can safely moor their vessels. The maritime museum offers great activities all season long, including a “Boat in a Day” building class and sailing lessons for our town youth. The “Downeast Rover” sets sail twice daily for a midday or sunset cruise in the Roanoke Sound, giving a truly fresh perspective of Roanoke Island. The Downtown area plays host to a variety of annual festivals and celebrations. It pays to live near the outdoors nowadays. Pollution is a modern day plague.

It is an ideal place to start a family.

You will find another art gallery with rotating shows, a history center and museum, a gift shop, a nature path, and a beautiful outdoor theater that overlooks the Outer Banks. The North Carolina Symphony and the North Carolina School of the Arts put on performances all summer long, in addition to other musical acts, festivals, and special events.
