Dune Allen is one of 30A’s earliest communities with a focus on the natural coastal surroundings rather than urban sprawl, perfect for nature lovers and those looking for a more peaceful lifestyle. It consists of long stretches of beach, five coastal dune lakes, and countless trails for walking, hiking, and biking. Topsail Hill Preserve State Park is located within Dune Allen, offering another outlet of beautiful natural resources that lead to secluded beaches. With a few local shops and restaurants, the neighborhood is reminiscent of a small town, within reach of more lively scenes.
Dune Allen mainly consists of single-family homes and condominiums with a variety of architectural styles, from cottage-style homes designed for sitting on sand dunes to Mediterranean-styles, neo-classical styles, and contemporary styles. The area is experiencing a wave of home renovations to give this older community a younger personality. Many properties are not part of a larger management association or community with additional fees, which is attractive for buyers who are searching for a simple lifestyle surrounded by the beach and the rest of the natural beauty Dune Allen offers.
