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.
