The people make the community. There is a feeling of welcome, friendliness and helpfulness that permeates Compass Pointe. The amenities are special and make everyday living feel like a vacation. Proximity to Wilmington make it easy to find theaters, restaurants, museums, shopping and places of worship. Many beaches with different "flavors" are also an easy drive away.

A large majority of families moving to Compass Pointe are from northern states and either retired or near retirement and are weary of the long winters there. The coastal NC weather is perfect for our mentality - still experiencing the 4 seasons but not at the length of the extremes. The cost of homes and the amenities along with the friendliness of the residents are "icing on the cake".

It feels like a big family here. There is always something to do, the wellness center, the grand lanai, bowling leagues, group trips and many other activities. We are close to Wilmington and have access to theater, concerts and classes at the university. It truly is "A Wonderful Life"!!

The word community was meant for Compass Pointe from the moment you enter residents are waving as you drive down the street. The residents are genuinely happy people who have much in common as many of us are relocating from the same geographic area up north. Even prior to moving into the community, while our homes are being built, there is a continuous on-line communication that enables neighbors to be neighborly - exchanging meaningful information that is beneficial to all. And this crowd is a party crowd; they celebrate everything...from welcoming new comers to committees for just about every occasion to all kinds of groups activities like golfing, bowling, card games, music, art, etc. And the Grand Lanai and Wellness Center are the locations for much of these shared events. As a community where a smile is the norm - happy, as well as sad times are shared. Whether you're single or a family unit, it would be very hard to find fault at Compass Pointe. Although it's predominately retirees, it doesn't feel like a retirement "village" at all...Children of all ages are welcome!

Have lived here four years and absolutely love it; great amenities, but more importantly, great people. Enjoy being near the ocean but far enough inland. Wilmington is a wonderful city and you are only two hours away from Raleigh.
