Compass Pointe Homes for Rent

Compass Pointe is a gated, master-planned community in Leland, about 10 miles west of Wilmington. Built around lakes, nature preserves and an 18-hole golf course, the neighborhood has a resort-like feel and draws retirees, second-home buyers and year-round residents. Things to do in Compass Pointe center on its amenities and active social scene. Residents have access to tennis and pickleball courts, indoor and outdoor pools, a lazy river and a wellness center with group fitness classes. Walking and biking trails wind through the community, and Cardinal Lake has a canoe and kayak launch. The Grand Lanai clubhouse hosts community events, while Compass Pointe Golf Club offers a championship course, on-site dining and a separate membership for golfers. Housing options include custom single-family homes, low-maintenance cottages and townhouses, with resale properties, new construction and homesites still available as of mid-2026. Many homes back up to fairways, lakes or wooded preserves. Shopping and dining are a short drive away in Leland at spots like Leland Town Center and Waterford Village, and downtown Wilmington adds seafood restaurants, breweries and boutiques. U.S. Routes 74 and 17 connect residents to Wilmington International Airport and Wrightsville Beach.
