Palm trees, lakes with fountains and resort-style amenities have created a fun tropical atmosphere at Compass Pointe, a 2,200 acre neighborhood located just 15 minutes downtown Wilmington, a city ranked as one of the top places to live in North Carolina. Compass Pointe is a certified Audubon International Gold Signature Community, protecting 70 acres as five wildlife and fauna sanctuaries. After you pass through the gated entrance, lushly landscaped roundabouts greet you at the intersections separating the Compass Pointe neighborhoods. As Real Estate Scorecard's 2015 Happiest Community of the Year, it's clearly one of the most fun coastal retirement communities to live in.

Compass Pointe Reviews

4.9 / 5 (558 reviews)
"There are clubs for everybody, can't imagine anyone not finding a fun place here. The activities and events are abundant... have to choose sometimes between competing events. The amenities are wonderful. The Grand Lanai is magnificent. Proximity to a vibrant Wilmington with so many activities and restaurants (not to mention the riverfront and the beach) is wonderful. However, in the end, it's the people. People are so friendly and giving. If there is a need, people surface in large numbers to help. The outpouring of love and support is incredible. And if that's not enough, everyone smiles and waves all the time... can't help, but feel good here."

With indoor and outdoor pools, a Lazy River, and a fully equipped Wellness Center and Grand Lanair for surprisingly low HOA fees. Close to the beaches, many and varied local restaurants, shops, and cultural events."

"To a person, the neighbors are always courteous, helpful, and provide information about the area, and ideas for enjoyable dining, as well as social engagements occurring in Wilmington, and the Leland area. The staff at Compass Pointe's enthusiasm and encouragement is also very helpful."
