Brunswick County beach

 

Demand for coastal real estate is stronger than ever – and especially so in Brunswick County. Unlike other more established coastal regions, the real estate investment opportunities are growing instead of drying up!

 

In this article, we list 9 reasons Brunswick County should be your next real estate investment.

Serene beaches

Brunswick County beaches are some of the most peaceful along the east coast. Some of the county’s beaches and islands are so secluded that you can only reach them by ferry. 

 

Small beach towns without cars? Yes, it’s as sweet as it sounds! 

 

Many Brunswick County towns are barrier islands, surrounded by water on all sides. Visitors can enjoy sunbathing, swimming, and surfing in the Atlantic Ocean on one side. And they can go boating or fishing on the beautiful Intracoastal Waterway on the other side.

Ideal location

In addition to the county’s breathtaking islands and beaches, residents and visitors appreciate close proximity to charming downtown Wilmington, NC and the popular Myrtle Beach, SC. Not only do Wilmington and Myrtle Beach offer an abundance of entertainment and cuisine, but they also each have airports. That means convenient cross-country travel!

Entertainment value

Brunswick County has plenty of entertainment within its county boundaries. Visitors will have a blast perusing local farmer’s markets, watching oceanfront concerts, and attending one of the area’s many festivals. They can get their golf fix on NC’s Brunswick Islands championship courses. Or they can immerse themselves in coastal wildlife – kayaking through the marsh or taking a guided swamp boat tour. 

Food. Food. Food.

We would be remiss if we did not mention the flavorful cuisine of southeast North Carolina. Brunswick County’s restaurants will definitely not disappoint. Calabash boasts the best seafood you’ll ever encounter. And there are countless waterfront dining options – along the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, and Cape Fear River. No matter where you eat in Brunswick County, your taste buds will be grateful!

Business growth

Brunswick County is one of the fastest growing counties not only in North Carolina, but across the entire U.S. Businesses are flooding to the area to take advantage of the area’s infrastructure, worker pool, resources, and overall appeal. And more business means more economic growth for the area and more real estate development.

Rapid property development 

The area is growing in more than just an industrial capacity. Every year, more people want to live and vacation in Brunswick County. Development of single-family homes and other properties has skyrocketed. You can bet we’ll see Brunswick County real estate continue to pop up on the market in the years to come.

Small-town feel

Although Brunswick County is growing, it still feels like a small town in many ways. Don’t get me wrong. The area gets its fair share of tourists. But the county and the beaches seem a lot less crowded than neighboring towns like Wrightsville Beach.

Family-friendly

The kid-friendly activities are abounding in Brunswick County – the beach, lighthouses, museums, parks, you name it! Families love renting Brunswick County’s spacious waterfront homes or even staying inland a bit to save money for other activities. 

Affordable options

Ruling out a Brunswick County investment because you think you can’t afford a home on the beach? Some areas of the county – like Leland, Shallotte, and Bolivia – are a little further inland. Therefore, the home prices are a little more affordable. Yet, the homes are close enough to the water to remain in-demand come tourist season.
