BEST COASTAL TOWNS IN NORTH CAROLINA

We see Baby Boomers continuing to downsize their homes as they become ‘empty nesters’ and no longer need the added space. Small newer homes come with big benefits such as low maintenance, less cleaning, and lower utility costs. With that demand, one of the top Wilmington NC communities, Brunswick Forest, has recognized the rising trend in retirement living by designing ‘smart town homes’ that will be available in 2016.  With open floor plans and low maintenance features, we’re confident these homes will be a hit knowing they are built by some of the finest custom home builders in Wilmington NC.

Wilmington already has a lot to offer its residents as one of the best coastal towns in North Carolina to reside.  Mild year round weather, quality medical care and a rich cultural entertainment. The low cost of living, bright and airy new homes and fun lifestyle amenities have made Brunswick Forest a sweet spot for retirement or to raise a young family.  For Boomers who love to travel, the “lock-and-leave” lifestyle is very popular and growing in demand. Town homes are becoming the norm for retirees who want to explore and adventure the world.

To satisfy the demand for this new style of retirement living, Brunswick Forest has responded by focusing on convenient and desirable locations that are within walking distance of the Fitness and Wellness Center which keeps active seniors happy and healthy as well as maintaining the natural picturesque setting located in the center of the community. 

According to Jerry Helms, Director of Sales at Brunswick Forest, “Our customers are asking for more town home options and we are happy to deliver.”  Mr. Helms adds, “Low maintenance living is one of the hallmarks of the Brunswick Forest lifestyle. Many folks who move here want the comfort and quality design that our coastal homes provide, but don’t want the yard work or upkeep that comes with home ownership. Our town homes offer the perfect solution.”  

Park Landing is one of the Brunswick Forest neighborhoods where you can find these affordable town homes. The new homes provide a perfect place to enjoy the serenity of living in a majestic setting at an affordable price. There are 4 floor plans to choose from that truly reflect the “coastal style” of living in the area. Home packages begin in the $300k’s.

Helms continues  “We recently began construction in this newest phase of Park Landing and expect to sell that section at an accelerated pace,” says Helms. “All of the town home models in Park Landing offer open concept living and high-end finishes at an entry-level price point for the community.”

In addition to Park Landing, the Shelmore neo-traditional bungalow neighborhood has beautiful new homes with open floor plans, gourmet kitchens and unique upscale extras.  Featuring craftsman-style finishes, these town homes are very popular with residents due to the close proximity to the Hammock Lake Park & Pool which keeps healthy retirees and their families active and in tip top shape while enjoying quality time with their loved ones.

Another option at Brunswick Forest are the Summerwind Villas that offer the ultimate of living in the best of both worlds.  These homes are located in the Hammocks at Shelmore but have the added feature of being “freestanding”.  The homes are linked via a walled courtyard that is regionally decorated with seashells and hosts a perfect location for grilling and entertaining with family and friends.  All Summerwind Villas have 2 master suites on the lower level and a screened in porch for the perfect venue for entertaining.  Converting the porch into a multi-season sunroom is also popular with residents here.

The newest neighborhood at Brunswick Forest is Tennyson Village featuring low-maintenance town homes.  Tennyson Village is designed with state-of-the-art quadplexes with outdoor courtyards, optional gas pits and exterior water features.  Additionally, vaulted ceilings and roofline skylights will be an option to imbibe the natural light abundant in the region. 

We are excited to introduce these homes in the upcoming year,” says Helms. “I believe folks are really going to love what JordanBuilt has accomplished in designing a functional town home with beautiful touches, like the spacious kitchen island, large first floor master suite, and flush-mounted fireplace with built-in shelving.” says Helms.

Brunswick Forest was designed with the ultimate in “stress free” living and offers many amenities to insure that its residents enjoy a fulfilling and active lifestyle with all the modern conveniences tied in.  Residents can enjoy a game of golf or tennis, visit the on-site grocery store, pay a visit to the doctor or enjoy an afternoon on the water all within the confines of the community offered at Brunswick Forest.  For water enthusiasts, there is access to the Town Creek River which is popular for canoeing, kayaking and fishing.  Walking and biking is a breeze with over 100 miles trails located throughout the neighborhood.  Social activities include book clubs, card games and cooking classes and much, much more.
