Attractive subdivisions south of Highway 17 in Wilmington
Seagate South comprises a handful of subdivisions south of Highway 17 in Wilmington. Within 3 miles of Airlie Gardens and Mayfaire Town Center and 4 miles west of Wrightsville Beach, Seagate South is a quiet residential area close to the water and other attractions that make Wilmington so popular. “South of [Highway] 17 has a lot of family-friendly neighborhoods. Everybody wants to be close to the beach, but not everybody wants to be right on the beach,” says Sherri Ingle, Realtor at Intracoastal Realty Corporation.

Recreation on the Intracoastal and in Airlie Gardens
Live oak trees with Spanish moss, bubbling fountains and thousands of blooming tulips and azaleas in the Spring enchant visitors to the Airlie Gardens, just northeast of Seagate South. Bradley Creek, adjacent to Airlie Gardens, connects to the Intracoastal Waterway, an inlet waterway spanning the east coast from New Jersey to Texas. Boaters, kayakers and paddleboarders enjoy recreation on the Intracoastal. Wrightsville Beach is also a top spot for locals on the weekend. Ingle recommends The Loop at Wrightsville Beach, a 2.5-mile paved path that goes through downtown Wrightsville Beach and over the Banks Channel. “Everyone exercises down there. You go over two bridges, and it’s just really pretty. It’s a happening place all year,” she says. Jungle Rapids Family Fun Park has a water park for hot summer days, as well as laser tag and an arcade for indoor nights with the family.

Soul food at Moe’s Original BBQ and shopping in Mayfaire
Oleander Drive (Highway 17) has a few restaurants in the neighborhood, including Moe’s Original BBQ, a laid-back soul food spot serving smoked pulled pork sandwiches and fried chicken with sides like cornbread and collard greens. Mayfaire Town Center is a major shopping area 3 miles north. It has chain restaurants like Chipotle and Chick-fil-A and stores such as Anthropologie, Ulta and Barnes & Noble. Downtown Wrightsville Beach has several popular seafood restaurants and bars about 3 miles east of Seagate South. Ingle recommends Jimmy’s, a dive bar on Lumina Avenue. “It’s super popular. Late night, it’s a younger crowd, but in the afternoon, guys will go over there and watch the game,” she says. Downtown Wilmington, about 7 miles west, has more shopping, dining, museums and venues. The Riverwalk downtown, overlooking the Cape Fear River, is a tourist hotspot with 200 local shops and restaurants that are also frequented by locals. Locals can pick up specialty groceries at Tidal Creek Co-op off Oleander Drive and do their weekly shopping at Lidl off Eastwood Road.
