Why Live in Kure Beach

Kure Beach, North Carolina, is a small beach town on Pleasure Island with a relaxed atmosphere and a population of just over 2,100 residents. Known for its scenic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Kure Beach offers a quieter alternative to nearby Carolina Beach. The town's history dates back to 1913 when Hans Kure purchased land and developed the area, including the construction of a fishing pier in 1923, which remains a popular attraction. The community features a mix of coastal-style single-family homes, condos, and townhouses, with colorful oceanfront properties and brick ranch-style homes in neighborhoods like Beachwalk. Residents enjoy outdoor activities at local parks such as Joe Eakes Park and the Blakeslee Air Force Recreation Area, which includes the North Carolina Aquarium. The Kure Beach Fishing Pier and Ocean Front Park are central spots for recreation and events. The town's dining scene is concentrated in the Kure Beach Downtown Preservation District, offering locally caught seafood and various cuisines. Kure Beach is part of the New Hanover County Schools district, which is highly rated, and Coastal Christian High School is a nearby private option. The town has a lower crime rate compared to the national average, with common incidents including traffic accidents and property damage. Wilmington International Airport is 22 miles away, and the Fort Fisher Ferry provides access to Southport. Kure Beach faces challenges like beach erosion and hurricanes, but ongoing efforts such as a beach nourishment contract and storm-water management systems help mitigate these issues.
