We are looking for a home in the direction of this "back gate" we hate traffic. I have looked at hubert and maysville as possible towns to buy in. We are first time buyers and have a limited budget of about 140,000. If anyone has any advice, or positive insight this would be helpful. Thank YOU

The Hubert/172 area is a good option for you. But as you go from Hubert to Swansboro to Cedar Point and Cape Carteret the prices go up since you are getting closer to the beach areas.
We had Marine friends who bought near the airport on the road to Richlands. They find it very convenient, but it would not be back gate.
The homes in there are in your price range, and I think you would be comfortable in the area since the many of the people are military.
There are plenty of homes in the Hubert area, but finding one in your price range will take some work. It you would like the name of someone who specializes in that area, I'll be glad to recommend some folks for you. Just send me a private message.
Swansboro is about as far as I go in that direction but I do go to as far as Down East the other direction, but that doesn't do you any good.
We love the area, do a Google search for "Coastal NC Paradise" and you'll have lots of information
