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.

"This community is what I call a "family" community. People here help one another in times of need. In addition, it is the community that works together by establishing all of the various committees for residents to be a part of and to make Compass Pointe the great place it is. Residents also help and support various organizations and the surrounding county to make the whole area better for all people. The Developer Mr. Harrellson and Mr. Exum are just the most honest and caring developers that you will ever want to know, and to be a part their vision of Compass Pointe is an honor. The developers also support many of the fund raising events the community hosts and want Compass Pointe to be a place of Peace, Comfort, and enjoyable Lifestyle for their residents. How many other developers can you this about."
