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 residents are extremely friendly and helpful to each other. Everybody waves as they pass people on the street, supports charity events like no other, do not hesitate to step up for neighbors in need, and work together to make this a super place to live. Everyone who comes here comments that they never experienced anything like this in their former neighborhoods."

"The community is beautiful and well-maintained. I feel like I'm on vacation every day. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. You can't pass another person without giving and receiving a wave hello. While the neighborhood is a work in progress, the amenities that are complete are top notch. I have full confidence in the developers that they will provide everything that they promised."

"We had come down to this area in 2009 and had several communities in mind. The deciding point was meeting current owners at weekend get-togethers. We met people who were so friendly and willing to answer all our concerns. We felt Compass Pointe was a place we could make new friends and fit in. We have accomplished that and more. This was the best decision we have ever made. We love our home and neighbors at Compass Pointe. Don't wait. Make the move. You won't regret it."
