I have never heard anyone from there complain about crime, so I assume that is not a major issue. Oriental has a Piggly Wiggly grocery store, but beyond that you will likely have to travel to Grantsboro (20 minutes) for a WalMart, Food Lion, or Drug Store. The main complaint I have heard from any of them is the distance they must travel for shopping or medical services (about 30-45 minutes to the New Bern area). Most people I have met who live there seem quite happy with their choice. Oriental is a quaint little town with many sailing enthusiasts and retirees. Oriental is quite low elevation (with exceptions) but most properties there tend to have the possibility of flooding. You can check the flood zone maps for any address in North Carolina at this link: Personally, I would vote for a condo in Beaufort, as there are more things to do. If the purchase is just for your own use, then experiencing the isolation in Oriental is important to see whether you like it. If you are looking for earning rental income, I suspect you would have better prospects in Beaufort, as it is close to the ocean and better known as a vacation spot. VRBO has has numberous rental houses by the day, many of them cute cottages.
I can't answer any of your other questions, but I do suggest you visit there before making a decision. There is a town beach where they mention wading, but not swimming. It is known as the sailing capital of North Carolina, so that should be part of the decision process. The main reason people live in Oriental is sailing. I am astonished that anyone would contemplate buying a property in a place they have never visited. I appreciate any feedback or advice as I am clueless about life in a costal town.

How bad does it get in summer? I assume there will be no breeze on the river. How much does it cost to build a dock with a lift for a small fishing boat? Is that a once in a blue moon thing or more common? Any concern about the flood? Agent told me flood insurance costs about $500 a year. I was told the garage was flooded in 2018 but water didn't make it to first level which sits pretty high.
For over 90 years, C&S has provided first-class warehousing and distribution services to its customers. How safe is it? I will be leaving the house empty for quite some time. Piggly Wiggly, LLC is an affiliate of C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc., which ranked as the 10th largest privately-held company in the US by Forbes magazine in 2010. Do people swim in the water in Oriental summer time? How about water sports? But that is what I like about it (also the price tag for Beufort is much higher). I understand Oriental is much smaller town with not much of anything. My wife does not like it much and insists on buying a condo in Beufort which was just visited and really liked it. I like the property as it is on the water and has decent view. I am looking into buying a vacation property in Oriental but I am not familiar with the area at all.
