Growth has reached US 17 in Brunswick, but plenty of land remains

The cranes, subdivisions and commercial projects that have transformed much of Brunswick County have not consumed all the land along U.S. 17 . Roughly 50-miles of U.S. 17 has become the spine of Brunswick's growth, connecting some of the areas fastest-growing communities from Leland to Calabash. A StarNews analysis of county parcel records found the corridor still contains several thousands of acres untouched by the development bug . Using the county's Geographic Information System, the StarNews calculated roughly 21,009 acres across 3,106 parcels along the U.S. 17 corridor stretching from the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge to the South Carolina border. The calculation included about 15,890 acres that appear undeveloped within 1,293 parcels. Undeveloped identified parcels had no recorded construction year nor heated building area on property tax records. Those undeveloped parcels account for about 76% of the corridor's acreage. Among the largest properties identified in the corridor are tracts of 1,466 acres, 1,279 acres, 955 acres, 883 acres and 766 acres. Together, the five tracts represent more than 5,300 acres, or roughly one-quarter of the acreage, Municipalities, like Leland, continue to attract new residential and commercial development. However, several large tracts remain intact and only a fraction of the corridor

Wilmington renters face tighter apartment market, study says

Demand is up in Wilmington for places to live. More specifically, for apartments. According to a study from apartment-related blog RentCafe, the rental market is getting hotter in Wilmington, defying a statewide trend observed in other small North Carolina cities. So what does this mean for Wilmington-area residents? RentCafe’s study , which published Oct. 8, suggests that renters will have a tougher time finding an apartment in the competitive market. Occupancy rates for apartments are rising, and the apartments themselves are sitting vacant for less time. This trend comes alongside Wilmington’s overall growth as populations all over the region continue to climb. Meanwhile, rent prices are also increasing, with one study finding that rents increased 13% between 2023 and 2026 – almost double the statewide rate of 7%. More: It now takes $90K+ to live comfortably in NC. What about Wilmington? How competitive is Wilmington’s rental market? RentCafe scored cities on the Rental Competitiveness Index, a tool that accounted for factors like occupancy rates, average vacant days, lease renewal rate, and the number of prospective renters in a city. Wilmington scored a 78.2 on this scale -- up from 74.2 last year and well over the national average of 73.9.

Water Access in Wilmington Tidal or Deep Water? Know the Difference Before You Buy

In Wilmington, “water access” means different things to different properties, and that difference can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars (or even millions). Everyone dreams of owning something on the water here, but “water access” covers a wide range of realities. Some properties offer walkable access to a community boat ramp, enough to launch a kayak or paddleboard. Others are true waterfront, with a private pier and a floating dock built for mooring a boat.
