Why Live in Wilmington

Wilmington's historic riverfront captivates visitors with its scenic Riverwalk along the Cape Fear River, where the World War II Battleship North Carolina stands as a striking museum. The city balances coastal living with cultural attractions, from the 67-acre Airlie Gardens to the Cameron Art Museum's contemporary collections. Residents enjoy three distinct beaches within 25 minutes of downtown: Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, and Kure Beach. The local dining scene features fresh seafood at waterfront establishments like Elijah's Oyster & Fish Camp and The Pilot House, which provides views of the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge.

The real estate landscape in Wilmington spans diverse price points across its neighborhoods. The median sale price for homes sits at $442,500. Single family homes in Historic Downtown command a median price of $522,500, while Landfall's median reaches $1,400,000. Mayfaire's single family homes show a median of $627,500. The median townhome price throughout the city is $422,500, while one bedroom condos typically sell for a median of $323,900.

Living costs in Wilmington fall 4.5% below the national average. A family with school age children needs $101,000 annually to live comfortably, while renters should aim for $52,000. Monthly grocery expenses run $1,600 for families and $700 for renters. The property tax rate of 0.59% compares favorably to nearby Fayetteville at 0.99%. Notable schools include the A+ rated Isaac Bear Early College High School and private Cape Fear Academy. The University of North Carolina Wilmington adds to the educational landscape. The humid subtropical climate brings mild winters between 35 and 60°F and summer temperatures from 70 to 90°F, though hurricane preparation remains important during storm season from June through November.
