“I am satisfied most of the time living here. It is a great location and the walking is calming with the view day and night. My bathroom faucet has a slow leak. However Luke tried to repair it and said it was the installation. If it drips it’s ok. Well it’s drips and fills a cup in less than 40 minutes. I feel that is a waste of water. It’s consistent. That’s the only reason o said somewhat satisfied. Also parking is great but personal I love e the outdoor by my apartment and I usually lose the space. That is not an issue overall. There is always a spot available somewhere.”

Winter Park & Piney Woods

What it’s like to live in Winter Park & Piney Woods

Natural surroundings distinguish Winter Park/Piney Woods, where these adjoining Wilmington neighborhoods maintain substantial tree preservation creating distinctive environments unusual within typically development-focused coastal communities prioritizing density over natural features. Housing options include mid-century ranch homes and garden apartments with generous outdoor spaces capitalizing on North Carolina's favorable climate for outdoor living most months.

Echo Farms

What it’s like to live in Echo Farms

Medical professionals and UNCW staff gravitate to Echo Farms for good reason – you're minutes from both the hospital and campus but in a peaceful setting away from college crowds. The neighborhood surrounds a former golf course now being converted to parks, creating green space you won't find closer to downtown. Most rental properties include screened porches or patios perfect for enjoying North Carolina's extended spring and fall without mosquito battles. Unlike downtown's historic (read: sometimes drafty) rentals, buildings here typically feature better insulation and modern HVAC – crucial during Wilmington's humid summers. You're just far enough from the beach to avoid tourist traffic but close enough for weekday evening visits when the crowds disappear.
