Getting to Know Brunswick Forest

Brunswick Forest is located just across the Cape Fear River from Wilmington, a 4,500-acre master-planned community in Leland, carefully designed around the natural beauty of the land. The development’s motto is “Coastal by Nature” and the community borders Town Creek, which flows into the Cape Fear River and the Intracoastal Waterway and then directly to the Atlantic Ocean. There’s a community boat dock for launching canoes and kayaks into Town Creek, while there’s also Hammock Lake for paddling and rowing. The community also has a network of more than 100 miles of walking and cycling trails that connect all of Brunswick Forest’s neighborhoods to the golf course, pools, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, and the many shops and services in the town center, so it’s easy to meet a neighbor for lunch or run a day of errands without ever getting in the car.

Living in Wilmington

Wilmington is a lovely port city located between the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean, bursting with history and charm. The Wilmington metropolitan area, which comprises New Hanover, Brunswick, and Pender Counties, also includes three nearby island beach towns: Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, and Kure Beach. Wilmington has an unusual mix of lifestyles — it’s home to UNC Wilmington, so it’s a college town, but it’s also a beach destination and a major city at the same time. And thanks to its cinematic good looks, Wilmington has long had a thriving film industry, serving as the backdrop to tons of movies and television shows for everything from Dawson’s Creek to Weekend at Bernie’s. Moving to Wilmington can mean living in a country club-style community, a beach retreat on a private island, or in a historic house downtown — all three picks are quintessential Wilmington options, as varied and delightful as the city itself.
