St. Helena balances quiet, open-country living with quick connections to everyday essentials. Set in Pender County, the town sits just south of Burgaw and within an easy commute of Wilmington, making it appealing for those who want space at home and options for work, shopping, and dining nearby. Outdoor time comes easy: explore Revolutionary War history and shaded trails at Moores Creek National Battlefield, or roam the longleaf pine savannas and wetlands of Holly Shelter Game Land. With beaches, rivers, and game lands all within reach, weekends practically plan themselves.
Families appreciate that schools are served by Pender County Schools, and learners of all ages tap into workforce training and university transfer pathways at Cape Fear Community College. Healthcare needs are covered close to home at Novant Health Pender Medical Center. Housing ranges from roomy lots and mini-farms to newer builds tucked along quiet roads, and the area’s agricultural roots show up in seasonal produce stands and community events. Daily errands, courthouse business, and small-town festivals are a few minutes away, while coastal employers and entertainment are a straight shot down the highway.
