Morehead City, NC Apartments for Rent

Nestled along the Crystal Coast of North Carolina, Morehead City combines maritime heritage with coastal living. The 7.4-square-mile port town, established in the 1850s, offers apartments at more accessible price points than many other waterfront communities in the state.

With one-bedroom apartments averaging around $1,145, Morehead City provides waterfront living without the premium costs often found in larger coastal areas. The city hosts the annual Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament, a celebrated fishing competition that transforms the waterfront each June. Residents enjoy easy access to Atlantic Beach across Bogue Sound, while having essential services nearby including Carteret Community College, the Port of Morehead City, and Carteret Health Care. The area's strong maritime connection provides opportunities in marine research, port operations, and water-based recreation, all while maintaining its historic coastal character.
