Hi all, I want to introduce you to a wonderful neighborhood just outside of Wilmington, NC....called Westport. It is in the town of Leland, which is a bedroom community about 5 miles west of downtown Wilmington.
Westport is one of those communities that grew from the boon years of 2004 to 2005 here in the Wilmington market. In fact Westport helped, assisted and gave a hand to Leland becoming one of the fastest growing towns in the state, and Brunswick County becoming one of the 40th largest growing counties in the whole United States.
Westport is a 165-acre community of 435 homes on Route 133 South in Brunswick County. There is a feel of "country" as the road meanders past trees and creeks, and Westport's bronze "Mariner" statue is a commanding, larger-than-life presence at the beautifully designed wrought iron and masonry entrance gates, where it welcomes homeowners and visitors alike, giving the community an elegant feel. 
Here is our newest listing at 740 Beachwalk Drive, truly a well maintained patio home that was purchased as a second home and used very sparingly. This particular home is one of the larger models with 3 good sized bedrooms, 2 full baths and features a 3 season sunroom. Virtual tour is here.
Westport offers an array of residential designs including patio, two-story and townhouses. The homes are of low maintenance brick exterior, and the majority of residences include lawn maintenance in the monthly HOA fee. The Westport community includes two swimming pools with bathhouse facilities. One pool is specially designed, with walk-in access for smaller children and persons with disabilities. Nearby is a large playground including play equipment for smaller children, a basketball court, and a soccer/baseball field. The clubhouse is the hub of many community activities. 
A scenic park is taking shape thanks to an enthusiastic volunteer effort. The development was completed in 2006, and is considered one of the area's finest.
Westport offers the smart saavy buyer many reasons to choose this area....find out for yourself why so many homeowners are calling Westport in Leland, North Carolina home.

Hi Dick,
Boy has Leland changed! This looks like a wonderful neighborhood with lots to offer. The next time I go that way (probably will be on my way to Charleston), I'll have to take a "look and see".
Hi Cynthia,
Thanks for commenting! Hopefully a buyer will love this!

Beautiful neighborhood and nice houses, but the HOA really sucks and young people are not very welcome here. The neighborhood is more for cranky senior citizens and busy-bodies. You can't even take a crap here without asking for permission from the HOA who are too involved in this community. I feel like the HOA owns our home as we have no say in anything i.e. painting, planting, & even our kids playing.......as I said they hate kids here and it shows. Stay away from Westport!
Ben,
I'm sorry you feel this way, have you contacted anyone at the HOA to discuss your views or concerns? We have plenty of buyers for this neighborhood if you would like to sell...call us we may get you out of a neighborhood you do not like, and get some one in your home who will appreciate the Westport lifestyle.

My husband and I currently live in Wilmington near Bradley Creek and are interested in purchasing and moving to a Westport property.
Please contact me by e-mail with information on what is for sale, or someone considering selling their home.
Does Westport have Time Warner Cable? How does it get water and sewer/public or private?
Thanks,
Adrienne
