Why you'd want to live in Kill Devil Hills

Abutting Nags Head is Kill Devil Hills, the geographic center of the Outer Banks. Kill Devil Hills extends north a few miles to Kitty Hawk, but in those few miles, this town really packs it in. It’s the largest town by population on the Outer Banks, but it’s still a sleepy seaside town at heart, and all 7,500 residents would agree. Beach houses and hotels, restaurants and shopping, and the site of one of the most important pieces of human history: the place where man first took flight. The Wright Brothers National Memorial stands on a high hill overlooking the ocean, the sound, and the field where Orville and Wilbur Wright – with help from a dozen locals – sent the Wright Flyer on its inaugural set of flights. via The Outer Banks
