Why Live in The Cape

The Cape neighborhood in Sea Breeze, located along the southern Cape Fear peninsula, has transitioned from a bustling golf community to a semi-private gated enclave known for its proximity to Carolina Beach. After Hurricane Florence in 2018, the golf course closed, and its future remains uncertain due to ongoing litigation. Despite this, The Cape attracts retirees and families with its variety of home styles, including single-story patio homes, cottages, larger brick builds, and coastal Craftsman designs. Properties range from $200,000 townhouses to multi-million-dollar custom homes with views of the Cape Fear River. The community features landscaped yards, wide streets shaded by mature trees, and homes that back up to the former golf greens. Residents enjoy easy access to Carolina Beach, where they can relax on the sandy coast, explore Carolina Beach Lake Park, and hike or kayak at Carolina Beach State Park. The nearby Intracoastal Waterway offers boating opportunities, with several marinas and yacht clubs, including the Carolina Beach Yacht Club and Marina. Dining options in Carolina Beach are plentiful, with local eateries serving seafood, barbeque, and international cuisine. Notable spots include Flaming Amy's Burrito Barn, Lazy Pirate Sports Grill and Axe Throwing, and Ocean Grill & Tiki Bar, which boasts a pier over the sand. The historic Carolina Beach Boardwalk features a mix of boutiques and chain gift shops. Children in The Cape attend highly rated schools such as Carolina Beach Elementary and Charles P. Murray Middle. For shopping, residents can drive about 6 miles north to Monkey Junction, home to national retailers like Walmart Supercenter and The Home Depot. While the neighborhood lacks public transportation routes, it offers easy access to Carolina Beach Road (U.S. Route 421) and the scenic, bike-friendly River Road for commutes into downtown Wilmington, approximately 14 miles away.
