Orchard Creek Estates on Peninsula Drive is a quiet, safe community with 29 lots—16 full-time residents, 6 part-time, and 7 unbuilt. The peninsula is surrounded by Orchard Creek, which meets Bright and Pasture Creeks before flowing into the 5-mile-wide Neuse River. The area is known for fishing, with trout, drum, flounder, shrimp, and even dolphins frequenting the waters. Utilities are underground, including Brightspeed fiber and Spectrum cable.<br />
The .8-acre lot sits 4-6 feet above mean high water, with an additional .1-acre septic drain field. Natural wetlands provide privacy and erosion control. The home's elevated foundation protects against flooding (survived hurricanes without water intrusion). A 100-ft concrete dock features a double-wide section with tie-up pilings, 30-amp power, water, and Wi-Fi. New granite block riprap was installed in 2023. A buried 250-gallon propane tank supports the home.
