Today Thursday August 7, 2008, in Wilmington North Carolina, while doing some prospecting  for our upcoming "Open Houses" this weekend, I happened to "catch a wave"  Let me explain.....

It is hot today....about 90 degrees, sunny, and beautiful...similar to many summer days in this part of the country.  I love this area!  It has been twelve years in my new adopted home, and I wished we had moved here years ago.  Coming from Saratoga, New York, it was not hard to appreciate what this great area has to offer.   GREAT WEATHER, BEAUTIFUL BEACHES, FRIENDLY PEOPLE, AND THIS......

Most of the 30,000 or so "beach people" that come to Wrightsville on any given day, increase the town's population by twenty thousand or so.  This is not your typical beach town.  The actual town is a five mile strip of pristine sand between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway.  There are no gaudy circus rides or atmosphere, no arcades, no high-rise hotels, and nothing to spoil a beautiful summer day.

Sometimes a person just needs to get out and away....and after seeing some of the sites on Wrightsville Beach today, this looks like a splendid idea (thanks to that beach cam).  There is something always going on "at the beach" nothing stops, always movement, waves continue to meet the sand, constant, never stopping.  A great place to think, plan, or contemplate....or just to watch the "beach people"  See 'ya later, I'm off to the beach!

Leland is the new "bedroom community" of Wilmington, North Carolina, and is a short five minute drive from Wilmington, just over the Cape Fear River. It has been called the "Gateway to Brunswick County"

With the boom of residential growth and the moniker of the fastest-growing town in one of the  fastest-growing counties in the nation in 2006, Leland has emerged as "The Town" of northern Brunswick County's continuing economic expansion. In recent months the town has seen the opening of a number of commercial centers, businesses and restaurants. Several hotels, grocery stores, national retailers and more restaurants are in the planning stages and will soon follow.

The town has changed considerably since its early days in the late 1890s as a railroad crossroads. It took nearly 100 years before the area was officially incorporated as a town in 1989. Population at that time was approximately 1,800. The new town saw limited growth over the first 10 years but exploded in the early 2000s. Leland's population numbered 1,938 in 2000 but grew to 5,189 by the end of 2004. In that same year, the town doubled its geographic size by completing the voluntary annexation of the Brunswick Forest planned unit development. This 4,900-acre tract joined the town's other flagship developments - Magnolia Greens, Waterford, Mallory Creek, Westport and Westgate - making Leland the largest municipality in Brunswick County. When Brunswick Forest is completed it will add nearly 10,000 new residents to the area. Despite its current population of 9,642 and thousands of new residents on the way, the Town of Leland is committed to maintaining its small-town atmosphere and quality of life as it enters this new era of growth and prosperity.

We will discussing Leland's new neighborhoods in coming articles, and the influences these new communities are and will have on the growth of Leland.

Most of the families we have helped move were from the northeast....NY, NJ, Ohio, PA, and CT, and they all were looking for the southern lifestyle. Whether it was golfing, fishing, sun-bathing, or just for the relaxing life that this part of the country offers, they certainly have found it! Miles and miles of beautiful beaches, over fifty close-by golf courses, and most important a mild climate and over 260 days of sunshine every year.

Here is our newest offering at 1119 Ashcroft Drive in the newer neighborhood of Lanvale Trace.  This home is perfect for a first home, or for the retiring couple.  It features a large fenced yard, is close to beaches and shopping, and of course don't forget all those sunny days to enjoy!
