[John DeBetta]

Good Morning All, I hope everyone is staying safe during these trying times. I'm looking to retire or semi-retire in the Wilmington area. I heard Land Fall is nice but expensive. Can anyone let me know if they have any knowledge of the area, it would be greatly appreciated.

I actually live in the Porter's Neck area and love it!  Convenient to everything now that I-140 has an exit just a minute from Porter's Neck Road.  The rather large Porter's Neck Subdivision is further down Porter's Neck Rd. than where I actually live but has a country club, golf, etc.  The Wells Fargo Golf tournament which has very discriminating criteria was held a few years ago at the neighboring Eagle Point golf course.  These 2 golf courses are actually across the street from each other.    FYI, a lot of people made a killing turning there home into an AirBnB for that week.  As a result, the need for a hotel here has been realized so they are building a Holiday Express at Porter's Neck & Market St.  Can't say how stuffy these people are but the real elite live in nearby Figure Eight Island. There are plenty of other subdivisions near Porter's Neck that you may find appealing especially if you don't golf.  Avenel, Vineyard Plantation, Blue Point, Porter's Crossing just to name a few.
