Living in Wilmington NC has proven to be highly desirable in recent years as seen by the popular port city’s growth. It’s located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Cape Fear River. It has a moderate climate year-round with clearly distinguishable four seasons.  Wrightsville Beach is a major amenity for residents. Numerous golf courses also add to recreational amenities. 

As a sidelight, the city has in recent years acquired Hollywood glamor. It has been popular for TV shows and 180 movies have been filmed here. It consistently gets high marks from non-Hollywood people who regularly rank it one of the best cities to live anywhere in the US.

In response to its growth, new homes in Wilmington NC can be found throughout the area, but particularly striking are those at Compass Pointe. In addition to its conventional upscale offerings to families and couples and others, the development has also won accolades from those seeking affordable homes in Wilmington NC retirement communities.

Compass Pointe is a private, gated, new home community. Its outstanding location is only ten minutes from the restaurants, shopping, beaches and cultural happenings at Wilmington. For the hardy, the city can be explored by a series of bike trails. The fun amenities at Compass Pointe set this resort lifestyle community apart (no question that the subtropical climate of southeastern North Carolina contributes to residents’ daily enjoyment as well as recreational choices). 

The lifestyle here can be kayaking in the resort ponds, or taking up tennis or other sports, or getting a daily workout at the well-appointed Pointe Wellness Center. There’s also golf at the new 18-hole Rick Robbins designed Championship golf course. Living in Wilmington NC does not mean you have to be busy all the time, either, since many residents of Compass Pointe enjoy any lifestyle of their own creation. Taking life has never been easier than it is here. The cities of fabled North Carolina are nearby, but you can comfortably stay right here
