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.

"The Compass Pointe residents care about each other so much and are so friendly. Everyone has a friendly wave as you pass them along the roads. They also are so helpful when a fellow resident has a medical or other one of life's challenges. Furthermore, our community has a Benevolence Group that promotes active support of local citizens in need outside of our own gate. In sum, Compass Pointe is large enough to be able to sustain a wide variety of activities and clubs, but it is small enough that residents know and appreciate each others gifts and talents. To us, it is the best of all possible communities!!!"

"We are a community of very special people. If you are in need of anything the entire community comes together to help no matter what. We have 4 different golf clubs,3 bowling leagues, parties for everything and all are invited. We have been married for 40 yrs. and never lived by the calendar but since we have been here we need to check the calendar each day for any activities for that day. It's just a great place to live!"
