Low Maintenance at Brunswick Forest Means More Time for the Finer Things

Published on August 29, 2016

Owning a sprawling home has always been part of the American dream, with a yard to play in, a big swimming pool, and plenty of space between neighbors. But these days, people now see that big properties and McMansions are often more work than they expected. A big yard needs lawn care, pruning, constant attention, and all sorts of maintenance and labor. And then there’s plenty of weekly upkeep needed to care for the house itself.

So rather than spend their valuable time on property management at Wilmington NC retirement, savvy buyers and retirees are opting for low-maintenance homes in highly amenitized master planned communities like Brunswick Forest

Many North Carolina coastal communities have worked hard to reach the $200k new home price point and many have failed.  Brunswick Forest, one of Wilmington’s leading developers, has succeeded once again, this time by offering low maintenance affordable single-level and two-story new townhome options. The floor plans are bright and cheery built by the finest custom home builders Wilmington NC. Preferred builders include JordanBuilt Homes, Bell Residential Homes, and Trusst Builders.

Different floor plans are built within a number of neighborhoods so a buyer has a variety of styles and locations to choose from. The community’s location itself is ideal with its own town center called The Villages. Residents can bike to retail and medical businesses, for dining or for last minute items at the grocery store.

Low maintenance townhomes means a retiree can age in place and leave the weekly chores such as mowing the lawn, trimming the trees, or exterior maintenance to the homeowner’s association. Monthly expenses are more predictable being managed and controlled by a fiscally responsible association. This removes worry and frees up time to travel the globe, enjoy the community’s amenities and engage in social activities. 

In Brunswick Forest, these pursuits include golf, tennis, walking and biking, kayaking and canoeing. Residents of the community enjoy exclusive amenities such as:

  • 18 holes of championship golf on Cape Fear National golf course
  • 5 hard surface tennis courts and an additional sport court
  • A network of more than 100 miles of paved and unpaved walking and biking trails throughout the 4,500 acre property
  • Indoor and outdoor swimming pools for laps and water aerobics
  • A river launch on Town Creek, where residents fish, paddle and picnic
  • An 18,000 square foot modern fitness center, with showers, steam rooms, a massage room and lounge
  • Multiple swimming pools
  • The Villages - A 160-acre town centre with shopping, dining, banking, health care and a grocer

With so much to do at Brunswick Forest, its no wonder so many people of all ages are choosing low-cost, low-maintenance living.  

Brunswick Forest’s town homes come in a wide variety of floor plans. Whether you like the feel of a coastal cottage, a stand-alone villa, or a Charleston-style town home, there are many styles for you to choose from.
