All the beautiful greenery there. Also, the marshlands attract animals not normally seen in other parts
The humidity is 983% in Wilmington today. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
I grew up in Wilmington and still have property in the area but have lived in Michigan for about 40 years. I get back there about a dozen times a year. As you noted it has slowly lost it's small town feeling. I've always attributed that to the influx of people from around the country moving there because of the wonderful place it was but then wanting to change it to more like what it was where they came from. Don't get me wrong, it's still a great place to live.
It's beautiful here with tolerable year round weather. As I've traveled all over the country, the growth and change aren't just isolated to Wilmington, but so many other amazing and beautiful remote places as well. It's so much easier for people to move to a better location with the ability to work remotely. I feel that's the biggest contributing factor to these migrations we've seen in the past 5 years.
I totally agree - We don’t need more videos about my area - it just brings awareness to us
The housing issue I've noticed is not exclusive to NC. It'sall over the US and it's mainly companies and foreign investors buying housing and jacking up prices. No one else can afford these homes.
I'm about to move to Wilmington. So, thank you for your insight. I believe that wherever one goes one will find pros and cons. 🤗🤗
Absolutely. There's no ONE perfect place. But this area is the one I love!
Sold, we’re moving there from Arizona ASAP!
Where in Arizona? Many beautiful places there.
i grew up here and when my daughter graduates HS im moving to AZ haha
Informative video. Thank you 👍🏻
Jan, I checked this place on Google Street View. The 2nd street is cute and green. The only drawback is the ugly wires on wood electric poles. However, this is a common problem everywhere 🥲. Thanks for the great video.
Wilmington local here, stay away from downtown, the houses are cute but it's a major hub for crime and overall ghettoness. Any numbered streets are going to be hit or miss. I recommend the right side of town, towards the beach rather than the left side of town (downtown)

Thanks for the info
I believe if you like electricity, you may need them.
Looks pretty good compared to South Florida and a lot less hurricanes.
Ive lived here my whole life, and im finally at the prime time to purchase a home and its like impossible
@andyfritter I completely agree with you. It's a very challenging time for buyers. There is seemingly nothing on the market for sale. Please shoot me an email or text if you have any questions that you want answered. I appreciate the support!
We are considering a 5 year plan to move from CT. We have a window of opportunity at that point where my family would all be willing and able to relocate. My husband is self employed as a consultant in the medical device industry. My oldest is in the same field and my youngest will be a chiropractor. Parents are retired. CT is out of control expensive and dreary 5-6 months out of the year. We are all just tired of it. Quality of life matters. So we are trying to locate a place where we can settle multiple generations of our family where we can have better quality of living, more affordable housing, lower crime & good schools.
Oh, I understand you very well. We went through a similar experience. The decision is exciting, scary and rewarding. Have you visited the area?
We need to. My son just visited and loved it. We have to plan some trips to the places we have interest in and do some research. A close suburb with new construction in a nice community with some property is what we will be seeking. Are they building these homes to be more hurricane resistant, is there flooding, are there areas where crime rate is low?
@@MermaidBBW A new community is a great way to to make a move. Everybody is in the same situation, new to that development, and you'll find it easy to meet people. Building codes are enforced for our climate and weather. As for flooding, that is a question to ask per house or location. Some areas have higher risk. On property can be in a flood zone and the neighboring property not. In terms of crime, there are plenty of maps that provide statistics. You can easily search that information. I hope this helps!
Don’t move here and try to change it into the place you just left.
Interesting comment because my wife and I also had a five year plan to move to a warmer climate. Winters in Weston Ct were ridiculous. As beautiful as the town is, just couldn't handle the weather, the costs of living and a bunch or really snotty entitled people. We've now been in the Porters Neck area for 22 years. Suffered through hurricane Florence and hot and humid summers, but I wouldn't trade our life now for the one in CT for anything.
Great video - love the streets and style of filming!
Thank you!
Carolina beach has big rocks
on the beach
we hauled them from Goldsboro..same with the jetty rocks at WB
No one ever mentions the bad water. Don't drink the tap water. ILM born & bred.
who cares? As long you have ice cold beer
Great video, thank you! Curious about the school system?
Why does Wilmington air smell bad? Recidents say the smell comes and goes? Why is the river along the riverwalk pitch black? Until the town does something about the air quality and water quality, I don't want to move there.
Because of the riegkewood paper plant and the river is polluted
Beautiful streets and homes. What streets are you walking on? We would like to check it out once we move into the new house.
Yeah, I would like to know the names of these green streets too 😊
This is around 2nd street between Ann and Church Street
Is it a good idea to put a tiny house in Wilmington
Wasn't the Grimm series recorded from there also? It has the same vibes from that serie😂
I don't think so, but I know what you mean.
North Carolina is getting super expensive. The entire State. Where are all the good Doctors?
If Wilmington is smart they will declare the current Wilmington as historic Wilimington and let them build new...build their midrises and high rises and condos...outside of Wilmington on the undeveloped parts so as change as little as possible of what people love about this original coastal town. As far as losing the character because of growth, I have no solution but alot of the growth is from open borders mass immigration which has been going on since 1965 and now its going parabolic. Call me all the names you want but I was in cities like Austin, Pheonix, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Atlanta, Tampa, Miami when they were less than half the size they are today...and they were wonderful places to live...each big yet had a smalltown feel and personality. Go back even further to after WW2 when places like LA, San Francisco, Denver were growing rapidly. They were wonderful places to live too until they got too big. Call me whatever you like but the US was a better country when we had 200 million people than we are today at 350 million people...and I would wager (if you asked people around the world) that they would say their countries were better when they had less people. Its not that I am against people or growth. Slow growth preserves the people, character, culture, way-of-life. Rapid growth that turns cities into huge metropolis's...its good for the few who get rich...but its horrible for everyone else.
Cons of living in Massachusetts. Can’t afford anything
Yeah, I understand that! I've still got plenty of family in NY and they're in the same boat.
That's right Adam. I live in Boston area and searching Charleston and Wilmington
Well - show and advertizing our home town only will bring attention to us - Out of towner from other area have more money and bring all the crime and junk that goes alone with more people to our town - not good at all - at all - gosh -
a lot of people have moved here, ruined the culture..brought their bad habits and poor attitudes..but a lot of people are also really nice and appreciate my home town, and add to it.
traffic is horrendous..rude yankee drivers galore.
@@GarlicMonoxide it's such a beautiful area that provides a lifestyle like no other. It would be amazing if all of the change and growth were positives. I've been here 10 years and still can't believe the changes taking place. I would love to chat with you and get your insight as to what changes you've experienced.
@@janroggeman1stClass been here almost my whole life..I'm 43.
You're correct..even in 10 years a LOT has changed.
Chat on the phone or..?
@@GarlicMonoxide I think it would be fun to meet in person and grab a coffee or something.
Im trying to come back home. I'm a Nurse in Georgia and I have an issue with Mama at TD Bank on South College. They said they paid me though she responded and they said she was rude.
See? Now that is what you call "staying on topic!" Good for you Monique!
