Talahi Island Real Estate: What Types of Homes Are Here?
If you’re searching “Talahi Island real estate,” you’re likely looking for a mix of traditional single-family homes, some larger lots, and occasional properties with marsh/creek adjacency or features that support a coastal lifestyle (decks, screened porches, space for outdoor living).
While inventory changes week to week, buyers typically choose Talahi for:
- Established home designs rather than brand-new tract construction
- Residential privacy and an island neighborhood layout
- The chance to find homes with outdoor living features (porches, yards, entertaining space)
What to look for in listings
When Talahi Island homes hit the market, pay attention to:
- Lot position: Interior vs. creek/marsh adjacency
- Outdoor living: porches, decks, yard usability, tree coverage
- Updates: roof age, windows, HVAC, kitchen/bath modernization
Water-related considerations: drainage, flood zone, and insurance requirements (property-specific)
If you want a home near water, don’t filter only by “waterfront.” Some of the best island lifestyle properties aren’t labeled that way. I can set your search to catch them.

How I help buyers with school-focused searches:

Sometimes. Availability depends on the specific street and lot position. Some properties may have marsh/creek adjacency or water views, while others are interior residential lots. I can set up a search that captures water-adjacent opportunities that don’t always show up under “waterfront.”
The fastest way is a custom MLS/IDX search with the right filters and alerts. Tell me your price range and must-haves, and I’ll send a curated list plus instant notifications.
Older homes can be wonderful, but it’s important to be thoughtful about inspection scope, renovation quality, and any property-specific considerations. Alex can help you identify which questions to ask early, and coordinate the right due diligence steps once you’re under contract.
