Essex at Carolina Bay is an intimate neighborhood where you’ll find homes with generous rocking-chair porches nestled behind picket fences, streetlamps casting a warm, inviting glow on winding avenues below, and sweet breezes blowing in off nearby marshes.. A wide assortment of gracious Charleston-style homes, along with Carolina Bay's finest amenity center, make Essex a residential masterpiece.  Essex's New Amenity will open this summer!  The amenity features a zero entry swimming pool, a playground, covered pavillion, firepit, nature trails and a canoe launch.
