Riegelwood puts you beside the Cape Fear River with easy connections to Wilmington and Leland via US 74/76, while preserving the quiet, wooded feel residents value. Outdoor time comes naturally—anglers and paddlers launch on the river, and trails, boardwalks, and birding at nearby Lake Waccamaw State Park are local favorites. Everyday needs are close, with groceries, dining, and services in Whiteville, plus a straight-shot commute to job centers, including the long-standing paper mill. Set in Columbus County, backroads, pine stands, and open sky make evening walks part of the routine.
Families appreciate education options through Columbus County Schools; younger students attend Riegelwood Elementary School, while older students have short drives to programs in Lake Waccamaw and Whiteville, along with workforce training at Southeastern Community College. Ball fields, church leagues, and seasonal festivals shape the small-town rhythm.
Travel is easy, with regional flights from Wilmington International Airport. Healthcare, beaches, museums, and arts are within an hour, yet home still feels refreshingly quiet when you return. Whether you’re upsizing into acreage, seeking a first home, or planning a move closer to the river, Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with trusted real estate pros who know Riegelwood.
