Located across the Cape Fear River from
Wilmington, Leland is a rapidly growing area in
Brunswick County that is well known for lower home prices and new construction.
Leland is just far enough from Wilmington
to still be called a “small town,” but is just a stone’s throw to
historic downtown Wilmington (about
a 10 minute drive). You can reach one of the more popular beaches with a short drive
across the bridge (15 minutes to Wrightsville
Beach, about 20 minutes to Carolina Beach),
and historic Southport is only a 25 minute
drive.
Several large planned developments have begun construction in Leland and homes can
range from the lower $100,000’s to the $700,000’s range. Some of the more popular
planned developments are Waterford of the
Carolinas, Brunswick Forest, and Magnolia
Greens, Eastbrook, Juniper Creek and Lanvale Forest.
