Approximate Location Boundaries: Brunswick County
Location Characteristics: Brunswick County, one of North Carolina's largest, stretches from Wilmington, NC, to the South Carolina border. Until recently, it was largely undiscovered, and much of it remains rural and undeveloped. However, like many communities in other areas of the state, it is exploding with new homes and commercial areas - in this case all along US Highway 17. Unlike the unplanned developments evolving in many areas, much of the land is being transformed into well planned communities with beautiful homes as well as convenient commercial offices and retail spaces. It is a great place to settle now with many beautiful mixed use subdivisions and golf courses all the way down to Myrtle Beach. Brunswick County communities include: Bellville, Leland, Southport, Bald Head Island, Calabash, Carolina Shores, Holden Beach, Oak Island, Ocean Isle Beach, Shallotte and Sunset Beach.
