Along the sparkling Intracoastal Waterway across from Masonboro Island, amid the pecan grove and hardwoods, the echoing of seagulls welcome the morning sun. This is Helms Port, a waterfront gated community in one of the top places to live in North Carolina. The Wilmington NC new home community opened its doors in May of 2015 and has sold quickly because of its desirable location.
