Often referred to as the "Cape Fear Coast," few places can match the Wilmington area's wide range of recreational features, cultural offerings, and historical ambience. With an average annual temperature of 63.7 degrees, Wilmington has become one of the top relocation areas in the United States.

Nestled between the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean, Wilmington is the largest city in southeast North Carolina. Although it is a growing city, it has retained its small town atmosphere. There is an air of warm southern hospitality and a strong sense of community pride as folks in the Wilmington area strive to retain their historical assets. There is also a keen awareness of delicate environmental systems that makes life in this area unique.

Wilmington was founded 250 years ago as a thriving port city. Today, the city's riverfront is home to a major seaport and a popular tourist destination, the USS NC Battleship. In the historical downtown district, you will find old, brick-paved streets meandering around charming Victorian homes with huge, twisted, live oak trees draped in Spanish moss.

Fine dining establishments and shopping in old restored cotton mills and warehouses are within walking distance. Wilmington is known far and wide for its annual Azalea Festival, which brings celebrities and dignitaries to the Port City for a celebration of spring when colorful masses of azalea blooms blanket the city.

Not far from downtown Wilmington, you will find miles of sparkling, unspoiled beaches that are the main component of area tourism. This area is a popular year-round destination, but the strong manufacturing, retail, and service sectors help to alleviate seasonal fluctuations in the economy. The film industry has become a mainstay of the economy as large film studios and sound stages have been built in Wilmington making this the third-largest site in the U.S. for film production.
