Compass Pointe
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 is the Happiest Community because its Developer, Mr. Bobby Harrelson, has fully implemented a resort community with a wide variety of First Class Amenities, including an indoor and an outdoor swimming pool, a fully equipped fitness center, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, a lazy river, plus a man-made-lake! He also provided a Grand Lanai for all sorts of social events, a premier 18-hole golf course, and an on-property restaurant. Through management's marketing efforts, Compass Pointe has attracted residents from throughout the country who at this point in life are ready to have fun and enjoy each other's company. Compass Pointe has countless clubs for such things as culinary arts, gardening, veteran's affairs, and book studies, as well as a wide variety of sporting activities. It is especially noteworthy that the residents always wave to each other when walking or driving through the community. The Latitudes Restaurant features specialty evenings such as Karaoke Nights and Trivia Nights, as well as offering many themed dining specials throughout each week. In sum, many of our residents have referred to Compass Pointe as a Disneyland for seniors since more than 90 percent of our residents are retired. Since very few residents are from this part of the country, everyone has at one time or another been a newcomer to the region. Therefore, we go to great lengths to make the transitions for every new neighbor go as smoothly as possible. Compass Pointe is a truly neighborly community where its residents celebrate each other''s accomplishments and are also exceedingly helpful to those who are going through one of life's challenges. As a retired Air Force officer, I have travelled around the world and I have never experienced such a loving, happy, and joyful community as Compass Pointe!!! Every morning when each of us wakes up, we feel that we are living in Paradise!!!
