Brunswick Forest in Wilmington NC Has Got Mojo When it Comes to Baby Boomers

Brunswick Forest Mojo
Published on June 12, 2012

There is no question, buyers have plenty of choices when it comes to choosing master planned communities along the coast of North Carolina. Unlike high density cities, just south of Wilmington NC is where Brunswick County real estate developer’s could find larger land tracts in the 1990‘s, land primed for new development. Only a few real estate developers had the resources and made the conscious choice to build residential neighborhoods within walking distance of commercial retailers, the new Baby Boomer status quo. Brunswick Forest is one of the them.

When the real estate bubble burst in 2008, buyer’s searching for Wilmington NC real estate became skeptical about purchasing land and homes in newer developments because they were afraid unbuilt amenities would never be delivered. This shift in thinking brought buyers to established gated communities. The unexpected downside of established communities, who wants to be the new kid on the block, wondering if we will be welcomed into the existing ‘social circles’ in a given neighborhood?

Building with more than hammers and brick, Brunswick Forest has created a warm and fuzzy state of mind within this North Carolina coastal community that is magical and contagious. In fact all 850 families who chose to purchase at Brunswick Forest, are new kid’s on the block creating a common thread of open mindedness. You heard it right, 850 families purchased during the first 5 years, during the middle of a depressed real estate market! What is Brunswick Forest’s mojo? I believe it’s the same allure that attracts millions of people to cruise around the globe each year. There’s always something to do, see, taste and experience. Brunswick Forest delivers happiness along with home affordability.

Between the 18,000 square foot fitness and wellness center, impressive swimming pool, tennis courts and 18 hole championship Cape Fear golf course, resident’s have a number of quality lifestyle amenities to choose from. The new River Club on the Cape Fear River will add kayaking and canoeing to the list of outdoor activities. We believe Brunswick Forest is perhaps the best walking community on our website with a food market, medical offices, banks and restaurants all a part of The Villages at Brunswick Forest, adjacent to the community's entrance.

Delivering a big bang for the buck, Brunswick Forest homeowners association dues are less than $200 a month. They have also found the sweet spot with buyers, new homes priced in the low $200k’s. The Sabal and Palmetto are two and three bedroom low maintenance town homes with open floor plans in this price range. Buyers searching for Wilmington NC real estate who prefer cottage homes, can explore Meadow Park, one of the newer neighborhoods with high quality cottage homes beginning at $260k. Whether you choose to relocate to Brunswick Forest permanently or desire a low maintenance second or vacation home, you will appreciate the community’s close proximity to downtown. Here are reasons why Baby Boomer’s are choosing to retire in this North Carolina coastal community:
