Wrightville Sound blends coastal living with everyday convenience, offering a relaxed, water-oriented lifestyle just minutes from Wilmington and the beaches. Centered around the Intracoastal Waterway and Bradley Creek, the area rewards early risers with glassy dawn paddles and golden-hour views across the marsh. Locals stroll the oaks and seasonal blooms at Airlie Gardens, catch sunset from the bridge to Wrightsville Beach, or launch for fishing and island-hopping from the Wrightsville Beach Boat Ramp. On quieter days, boaters point south toward the wild dunes of the Masonboro Island Reserve, a natural escape reachable only by water.
Families value strong public schools through New Hanover County Schools, with many students attending Bradley Creek Elementary, Roland-Grise Middle, and Hoggard High. Weekend routines often revolve around youth sports, beach runs, and dockside dining near the causeway. Commuting is straightforward, with quick access to midtown employers, medical hubs, and cultural venues, and nearby Landfall adds shopping, dining, and club amenities to the mix.
Housing runs the gamut—from mid-century cottages under sprawling live oaks to thoughtfully designed new builds and sought-after deepwater properties—reflecting the neighborhood’s long connection to life on the water. In New Hanover County, Wrightville Sound offers a coastal pace without sacrificing city access.
