Piney Acres delivers an easygoing, right-sized slice of life in northern Wilmington, with tall pines, wide skies, and side streets that make morning dog walks and evening bike rides feel unrushed. Commuters appreciate quick connections to major corridors for a short drive to downtown Wilmington, while students and staff can be at UNC Wilmington in minutes. Weekend plans are just as simple: toes in the sand at Wrightsville Beach, a court session or pick-up game at facilities run by City of Wilmington Parks & Recreation, or a browse-and-brew break after a library stop.
