Wilmington NC Senior Move Help

Seniors who would like to live in a quieter area that is still within driving proximity would likely prefer neighborhoods like Willow Glen and Myrtle Grove. Willow Glen is a central community in Wilmington that has a clubhouse, pool, and 18-hole golf course with a driving range available to members. It is close to Downtown Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, and Carolina Beach, and offers both homes and apartments in varying sizes for those unsure what their best fit is. Myrtle Grove is a central location to Historic Downtown Wilmington, Carolina Beach, and Wrightsville Beach as well, so things to do are never too far away from this quieter community. Both Willow Glen and Myrtle Grove are near Greenfield Lake Amphitheater, where many shows are displayed throughout the year in front of a beautiful lake and park. They are also close to the newly opened Barclay Pointe shopping center, which has a movie theater and restaurants including Pizzeria Il Forno and Nori Asian Fusion and Sushi Bar. 

For seniors who love a day at the beach, the Wilmington Area offers various communities that provide the everyday beach environment. Porters Neck is a neighborhood located across from Figure 8 Island, and is composed of multiple neighborhoods. Figure 8 Island is a gated beach community with a clubhouse and private beach access only for those who live on the island. Porters Neck also has gated neighborhood access as well as a private country club. The Porters Neck area is a private community only 15 minutes from central Wilmington and includes locally famous restaurants like K38 Baja Grill and Umaii Thai. The Porters Neck area is also nearby both Topsail and Wrightsville beaches, for those who choose not to live on Figure 8 Island.
