Emerald Isle, NC Real Estate
by Watson-Matthews - When Ronnie Watson and Steve Matthews first came to Emerald Isle NC, they came by ferry or private boat because there was no bridge and at that time Highway 58 did not run the length of the island. As the area grew, Ronnie Watson became mayor and since that beginning, the Emerald Isle and Atlantic Beach area has continued to grow and is one of the top family beaches on the East Coast. In 1978 Ronnie and Steve formed Watson-Matthews Real Estate and joined in the residential development of our Emerald Isle. They were the developers of several residential subdivisions including Lands End, Emerald Plantation and played a part in the development of Emerald Landing, Royal Oaks, Dolphin Ridge and several others.
