Masonboro pairs salt-air living with everyday convenience, stretching along tidal creeks and live oak canopies on the southeast side of Wilmington. Kayakers and anglers launch at the Trails End Park & Boat Ramp and slip into calm waters that feed the Masonboro Island Reserve, an undeveloped barrier island prized for shelling, birding, and surf. Beaches at Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach sit a short drive away, while neighborhood roads wind past established homes, new builds, and waterfront properties with private docks.
Families appreciate strong public schools in the New Hanover County district, with resources via the district website and nearby campuses such as Bellamy Elementary, Roland-Grise Middle, and Hoggard High School. Afternoons often spill into nature at Halyburton Park, where longleaf pine forests frame boardwalks and a nature center hosts hands-on programs.
Daily needs are close: local markets, cafés, and service shops cluster along Masonboro Loop and Myrtle Grove Road, and the historic riverfront’s theaters, galleries, and festivals are only minutes away. Commuters find quick access to major routes, yet evenings still feel coastal—think sunsets over Hewletts and Bradley creeks and breezes that carry the scent of pluff mud and salt.
