Brunswick County, North Carolina

Miles and miles of clean, white sandy beaches

and the most beautiful coastline in the Carolinas! Reaching from Southport/Oak Island in North Carolina through the "South Brunswick Islands" (the sandy barrier islands of Bald Head Island, Caswell Beach, Holden Beach, Ocean Isle Beach and Sunset Beach) to the famous "Grand Strand" of Myrtle Beach, SC. This is truly one of the fastest growing areas in America.

The area of the North Carolina South Brunswick Islands is a vacationer's delight with some of the best beaches in the nation offering sailing, boating, golfing, shelling and water sports galore. Here too, Golf is king with well over 100 golf courses to choose from in both Brunswick County and the easily accessible Myrtle Beach, SC area. These courses are within a 30-45 minute drive from anywhere in Brunswick County. Many of these courses offer wonderful views and glimpses of the water, wildlife and a few courses that are right on the ocean itself! The Intracoastal Waterway runs from Maine to Key West, Florida. It carries boat traffic right through Brunswick County. This area is a superb place for boating, water skiing, surfing, golfing, kayaking, shelling, jet skiing and so much more that is not mentioned here.

The character of the local real estate market is largely defined by the coastal topography and the excellent year-round climate. The short and relatively mild winter averages 52 degrees. This allows year-round golf on the local courses which are lined with large trees and beautiful new homes. This winter climate combines with an extended summer season to create a very strong demand for vacation rental homes, condos and properties that are located mainly on the barrier islands and along the Intracoastal Waterway in Brunswick County North Carolina and in North Myrtle Beach/Myrtle Beach, SC area.

While the moderate climate has long attracted retirees to the area, the recent boom in commercial development has substantially stimulated primary home construction. Much of this "building boom" has occurred in golf course and "plantation" developments along with beach property. These developments utilize the natural beauty of the environment to create communities with lots of water views, marsh views and lush landscaping. Some of these developments are hidden away in areas like those along the Lockwood Folly River, Shallotte River, Cape Fear River and the Intracoastal Waterway.

The close proximity of the North Carolina's South Brunswick Islands to Myrtle Beach, SC which has enjoyed a building boom in restaurants and entertainment attractions that make up this area, along with Brunswick County, is called the greater Grand Strand. Across the line in North Carolina, the continuing growth of golf course, vacation and "plantation" developments offers a lower-density but no less attractive living environment. And, of course, the 'two worlds' are but a short drive apart. This area can truly be said to offer a rich and diverse choice of lifestyles in which to work, play and eventually retire.

The New Hanover County International Airport in Wilmington, NC and the Myrtle Beach, SC airport are only minutes away from the heart of Brunswick County making getting here easy. The four lane highways also provide a relaxing way to arrive. If you prefer and want to be adventurous, you could even arrive by boat.

Whether you are looking for a vacation home or condo, rental property or a primary residence, this area has so much to offer and most of it is as reasonable priced as it is attractive. Take a close look at the quaint towns along the coast of North Carolina in Brunswick County such as Southport/Oak Island, Bald Head Island, Caswell Beach, Holden Beach, Ocean Isle Beach, Sunset Beach and Calabash are all waterfront or ocean front communities. On the inland side, there is Shallotte, Supply, Leland, Bolivia and Boiling Spring Lakes which are all within a few short miles to the ocean and golf courses. There's something here for everyone.
