It’s hard not to when you’ve been declared “The Next Big Thing” by national media as one of the best places to live in North Carolina.

Nestled between the Cape Fear River and Atlantic Ocean, Wilmington strikes an enviable balance between a casual lifestyle and global business opportunities and makes an ideal destination for moving to North Carolina. Entrepreneurial zeal permeates every facet of the community, giving it the vibrancy of a city much larger in size, with the ease of living found in a small town.

It’s easy to see why the Wilmington demographics reflect our citizens’ passion about our hometown. Every day is an opportunity for a beach vacation only minutes away… experiencing pure creativity at an original theater performance… launching a start-up with the support of innovative minds and angel investors… checking out body art and a local band at an eclectic tavern… holding a meeting in an outdoor cafe… or welcoming a new neighbor and their customs.
