Why Live in Riegelwood

Riegelwood, North Carolina, is a small mill town situated on the Cape Fear River, approximately 30 miles inland from the coast. The town's existence is closely tied to the paper mill established by John Riegel in the 1950s, now operated by International Paper, which remains the primary employer. The community, with fewer than 600 residents, features properties with large lawns and backyards shaded by oaks and pine trees, some of which back onto a small lake with private docks. Housing options include ranch styles, manufactured homes, and Colonial revivals, with land also available for purchase. The area has seen an influx of buyers from northern states, attracted by the lower housing costs. Despite the mill's significant reduction in jobs, residents report minimal pollution, though some homes experience loud noises. Columbus County Schools serve the area, with charter school options available. For things to do, Riegelwood Community Park offers baseball diamonds, sports courts, and a multipurpose field, while Cape Fearless Extreme provides zip lining, obstacle courses, and paintball. The Riegelwood Country Club features a public 9-hole golf course. Dining options are limited but include Da' Shack and Heather Rae's Comfort Cooking in nearby Delco, with more choices in Leland, 16 miles east. Shopping is available at Piggly Wiggly, Family Dollar, and smaller convenience stores, with larger stores in Leland. Severe weather, including hurricanes and tornadoes, poses a risk, particularly near the Cape Fear River and Livingston Creek. Wilmington International Airport is 23 miles east, accessible via U.S. Route 74 and Interstate 140.
