Known as the "Harbor of Hospitality",  Elizabeth City is a charming town located just at the narrowing of the Pasquotank River. With a considerable amount of beautiful waterfront property, most residents enjoy picturesque views from their homes. Elizabeth City boasts a booming arts and culture community, with several museums and some notable architecture, including the striking Virginia Dare Hotel and Arcade. Annual festivals are a big draw for the city, such as the Albemarle Craftsman's Fair. It's easy to see why Elizabeth City was recently named one of "The 100 Best Small Towns in America".
