I’m from Casper Wyoming too🥰!! That’s awesome you lived here as well! Thanks for making these videos-super helpful! I’ll check out those apartments too-appreciate the suggestions!🙏

What are the nicest and closest apartments to the airport? I’m going to be moving there from Wyoming to be a Flight Attendant and want to be as close as possible-never been there❤️ Can’t wait-I’ll be there in April🙏

It’s not a gated community. It’s a community with gates.

Beautiful tree lined streets, homes are splendid. What is the price range? Are there any in the $875,000.00 dollar range?

Jake, FYI Dell Webb There are two b’s in Dell Webb.

Its an overbuilt Democrat dump, do not move here, trust what I am saying!! It's one of the worst run cities in America!!

How many months per year could a person live in a sprinter van? I’m guessing the 2-3 summer months could be uncomfortable?

What about the pfas in the water?

The place is overrun with Yankees and traffic sucks.

Very good review. For this former New Yorker native and Nebraskan resident for 17 years, Wilmington is a Utopia. Yes, NC hurricanes are a menace but they do come with advance notice...Not so with the Tronados in Nebraska. Nebraska's warning system is very good. As for the snow here in "Wilmiwood," no big deal!! Does anyone recall the deep, wet snow in lower New York State or the huge snow drifts in Omaha???

The crow, Iron Man 3, Swamp thing, Raw Deal, TMNT, Dawsons Creek are great examples of the TV/movies filmed in Wilmington, NC

Road infrastructure and maintenance has been ignored by local leadership in the interest of focusing solely on residential development. Traffic could be improved so much if those in local government would actually focus on it.

Have they built shopping yet?

For the past 22+ years I've been mainly riding the south past of New New Hanover County south of Monkey Junction. As far as bikeways, bike trail, bike lanes etc. New Hanover County Government and NCDOT are only talking about (no action) constructing a multi use bike trail. As far as the so called bike lane on River Rd., it does not meet NCDOT's Spec. for a bike lane. It's not wide enough, the white lines are missing and some places grass and weeds are covering the edges of the road.

Cool story. Now ask 5th generation locals whay they hate about living in ILM.

How do you compare Brunswick Forest to Compass Pointe?

Great info, thanks y'all!

What is the list price?

It is not cheap to live here. The homeowner's insurace is ridiculous.

#1 the lack of paved sidewalks in neighborhoods for walking and running. I’m going to loose my mind from running the loop over and over and over- I can drive 30 minutes and get a park that is a 3 mile loop- which is insane.

The humidity at CB is awful.

So is it just me or is dating in Wilmington the absolute worst? Lived here since 2022 and Ive literally been on one date. Im too old for college girls and too young for retired women but most of the women I meet have no intention of carrying on any meaningful conversations. Its like the single women in their 50s prefer the single life.

Thinking of buying my first home in that area. My family lives in Charlotte but I need to be closer to the ocean. This is best option

Dont move here, our mayor of nearly 20 years is a realtor, big conflict of interest

Western NC just got destroyed from Hurricane Helene.

Do you think the price of homes will stabilize when they build more housing (4500 new homes were just approved in Brunswick County), or that the prices will jump up in the next two years?

It's turned into....Jersey...just like it's population...imagine that. The people that moved to Wilmington made it just like the place they left. No southerners in Wilmington. NJ-NY- Ohio- Pittsburgh - Philly - Mass. It's a true Northeastern city now.

Wilmington is way overdeveloped without any infrastructure to support it. It is also full of addicts-as there is a thriving "recovery" industry here-practicing catch and release once the insurance runs out. Forget going to the beach anymore-70k people trying to get on a beach with parking for 3k. Prices are skyrocketing for rentals as well as new homes. Insurance , both home and auto, prices are insane-every hurricane the rates rise to pay for all the claims from the Mcmansions on the beaches (which you cant get to) and auto accidents due to terrible road planning, and uninsured illegals that flock here to do landscaping and building high density rat traps.. Speaking of high density-that is a priority for the zoning commission and city council-so, the home you buy in a quiet area with some trees-WILL be clear cut and infilled with apartments. 35 years ago-it was a paradise....now-it is the equivalent of a more humid Newark NJ.

One more con, there is no where to be alone with nature. I certainly miss the forests and metroparks in my home area. Constant intrusions to your personal space here here, due to overcrowding. So many complexes and INFESTED with roaches of all kinds.

Another con, the healthcare, is lacking. One huge conglomerate owns it all. The local hospital had an 8 month old new grad RN training me. I had many years hospital experience prior besides my other nursing experience, and she had me canned. Wow. I’d moved here for that position.

Jake, my g.friend moved to Porters Neck...I'm a74 single,active,healthy woman and just want to find an apartment or independent living area that has great security and on the more modern side, any ideas for me?

If I had 700k I would be buying a house in Ocean City NJ or Cape May. Not some backwater mini-beach town like Carolina Beach. One with a REAL boardwalk.

The area is way over crowded now and is too expensive for what you get. Bumper to bumper traffic everywhere you go. When I am able to move, I certainly will.

One of the big concerns I have here in North Carolina is the influx of Northeast liberals coming here. They’re leaving states that they destroyed with their liberal politics, and they will come here and vote for those same stupid liberal politicians and policies.

I like the area, I live just outside of Wilmington. The issues I have are: traffic, irresponsible development, difficulty getting to see a medical specialist due to crazy population growth, getting a tee time.

Music is too loud

Leaving Chattanooga tomorrow morning to come to Wilmington, so I'm checking out some stuff.Thank you for your information

This right here is why it's getting so overpopulated !!! 💯 I've lived here my whole life ,yet us locals are being pushed out & rent used to be affordable ,but noy anymore ! This is why we're about to be homeless once again ,but we'll save as always to get another place ,because rent used to be 400-500 month ,but now it's $1,500-2,000 or more a month & wtf can afford that ......The people moving here !!!!! 🤔

Thanks so much for these videos. My husband and I live on the outer banks. We love it, BUT as we age, there are lots of concerns for us. We are seriously thinking of looking into Wilmington in the near future.

Usually people don't say that about Fox News. I command you sir for being honest. Because none of the news organizations give you real truth even the conservative ones. A personally stick to alternative media.

Con: salaries do not match the COL. We lived in Wilmington for many years and people are underpaid. Wilmington prior to 2015 was such a wonderful place to live and raise a family. It’s sad to see all the trees and green space being taken away for cookie cutter homes.

This was helpful thank you! If you had to pick an area and your budget was only $425k would you do Hampstead or try to find something smaller in Wilmington? We are family of 4 with kids 6 and 10 who do play competitive travel ball sports etc. I see a few places in that price range in Wilmington but worry they aren’t in great neighborhoods at that price?

Holden Beach is not Wilmington

Thanks for sharing

My grandmother owned a gift shop on the boardwalk in the 1930s. My great-great-great-uncle ran a gas station.

Uh! this is 2024 and this guy is dreaming.

Couple comments; first, show things more rather than talk about them. We don't care what you look like, people want to see the facility. Second, PNCC is not located on the ICW, but it does have a small lot there which homeowners can access. Last I heard, the waiting list for golf is now years. A sports membership would still be available and that gets you tennis, pickleball, and a well equipped workout facility.

What about the cost of living? It's nice, yes but I moved out of Wilmington 2 years ago because rentals and homes are too expensive

Me in CA wanting to move there but nervous about it not living up to California. There are things I love in CA so much but it’s just so unaffordable. How is it for kids? Schools? Baseball teams? Thank you
