Holden Beach Homes for Sale

With gorgeous beaches that remain uncrowded even at the peak of summer, the nationally acclaimed barrier island known as Holden Beach, North Carolina, is an outstanding place to spend a vacation or a lifetime. Ranked as one of the country’s top family-friendly beaches, Holden Beach offers a relaxed coastal atmosphere perfect for people wanting to slip on some flip flops, spread out a beach blanket, and soak up some sun. Opportunities for surfing, fishing, kayaking, and boating seem endless, and the laid-back vibe is very different from the mainland. 

Holden Beach is one of the five Brunswick Islands of North Carolina. It has a fantastic location, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the south and the Intracoastal Waterway on the north. A two-lane, high-rise bridge separates Holden Beach from the mainland, yet the island is easy to access from several of the area’s most populated communities. For example, Myrtle Beach and Wilmington are just a thirty-minute drive from Holden Beach. Further contributing to its appeal, the area is well-established with homes and beach cottages dating back to the early 1940s. Once development began on the island, it quickly grew in popularity. By 1954 there was a turn bridge and more than three hundred homes in Holden Beach, and in 1969 the island was officially incorporated. The grand opening for the high-rise bridge of concrete and steel was held in 1986, allowing even more people to access this gorgeous oceanfront oasis.

Today, Holden Beach comprises just over three square miles and has a year-round population of fewer than one thousand residents. It boasts numerous accolades, including being named one of the top ten places to buy a second home and one of the thirty-eight best American beaches. Holden Beach real estate offers proximity to a long list of recreation, entertainment, shopping, and dining opportunities, including an eighteen-hole mini-golf course, a fishing pier, a general store, fishing charters, several souvenir shops, and numerous beachfront grills. One of the best features of Holden Beach real estate is, because of the island’s small size, nearly every property is only a few blocks from the beach. Real estate in Holden Beach consists of condos and townhomes, generally in the two- to the four-story range, and detached single-family homes of varying sizes.
