Nestled between the Cape Fear River and North Carolina’s Inner Bank beaches, Wilmington has great golf, mild weather, natural beauty, and a relatively “cheap” cost of living, all of which make it popular with both permanent residents and second-home vacationers.
Wilmington is in the southeastern part of North Carolina taking up almost all New Hanover County. It is known as the “Port City” and “Little Hollywood” based on its unique setting along the Atlantic Ocean and Cape Fear River. It is the only North Carolina Coastal City to have a seaport, an international airport, and a UNC campus all while maintaining its “historic” ambiance and spectacular beaches. Additionally, “Wilmy-wood” also known as “Little Hollywood” was filmed over 180 features here during the past two decades.
The Port City boasts the home of the U.S. Navy Battleship, the USS North Carolina (BB-55), that ports on the Cape Fear River in Downtown Wilmington. Downtown is a walking City with a scenic Riverwalk that offers easy access to many boutiques, cafes, specialty shops, restaurants and an active nightlife. Enjoy some fresh & local seafood specialties at one of the many gourmet downtown restaurants, all within walking distance of each other! The Historic District has a variety of architectural styles with live oaks that line the city, spanning over 200 blocks! Take a horse-drawn carriage ride on the old brick streets and see how Wilmington embraces its influences from the past and present! And as history advances with new additions, the city blends colonial architecture with new modern designs and attractions!
The Wilmington Real Estate market has something for everyone! From historic downtown homes to small town living to golf communities to waterfront estates, the Cape Fear region is a perfect fit for any lifestyle. And as the area grows, so do the opportunities. New homes are being constructed all over the area. Housing choices include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, and large estates. Residents of Wilmington are fortunate when it comes to weather, for the fact the temperature is generally mild with tons of sunshine! With the outstanding weather, golfing or enjoying time on the beach is always available. Families with children who relocate to the area have many different options, with a variety of excellent school districts.
Wrightsville Beach is a great place to feel the pulse of island life! From active lifestyles with a variety of watersports and outdoor happenings to lively community gatherings, there is never a shortage of smiles. Known for its crystal blue waters, surfing competitions, and a variety of community events, Wrightsville Beach was voted North Carolina’s best beach!
Just south of Wrightsville is Carolina Beach! Here you will find a relaxed beach vibe, with live music and events, a vintage boardwalk and colorful characters around every corner. Carolina Beach connects to Kure Beach, home to the oldest fishing pier on the Atlantic Coast. Kure Beach is the perfect family retreat, where you can visit the state aquarium and Historic Civil War site at Fort Fisher, as well as all the beautiful seaside surroundings! An advantage that these two beaches possess, that Wrightsville does not, is the ability to drive your car on the beach and park feet away from the shore break!
Overall, Wilmington has so much to offer! Each area has a different style and culture, making no two destinations the same. This is a city that is plentiful in all aspects year round!
