The Latest H&H Homes News Your Place in the Sun: New Homes in Brunswick County, North Carolina Posted: November 15, 2021 Brunswick County, North Carolina, is home to a stretch of coast that is a warm, inviting place to call home. Quiet oceanside towns, mild weather, and mild-mannered Southern charm make Brunswick County an ideal place to relocate, whether you’re changing careers, raising a family, or preparing for retirement. With beautiful Myrtle Beach to the south and charming Wilmington just north, Brunswick County is surrounded by attractions, tourist-draws, and the finest in Southeastern coastal living, without the crowds. Why Brunswick County is a Favorite for New Homebuyers: 1. You Can’t Beat the Lifestyle. If “central North Carolina coast” evokes sleepy towns and silent neighbors, think again. While the towns in Brunswick County remain small, many of them have experienced substantial growth in the last decade, doubling in population and more. The boom-town effect is alive and well in this peaceful enclave for many reasons – the biggest draw is the ease and comfort of the lifestyle. Daily walks on the beach are a practical reality in Brunswick County, as is frequent golf. With the 100+ world-class tee-offs of Myrtle Beach just a short drive away, the region is a true golfer’s paradise. Brunswick County is home to more than 30 championship golf courses, each with its own unique sampling of fantastic scenery, from crashing waves to wetlands to forests. Courses in the area are open year-round thanks to the gentle, sub-tropical climate. True golf fanatics can soak up some star power while playing since several Brunswick County courses were designed by some of the sport’s most legendary players, such as Arnold Palmer and Fred Couples. People in Brunswick County are friendly, approachable, and ready to meet you with Southern hospitality. Transplants from elsewhere in the country – mainly from Eastern locales, from New Hampshire to New York to Florida – are welcomed with pride in North Carolina. Recent arrivals Gary and Erica Beaudet, who opened a wood-fired pizza restaurant in Ocean Isle Beach, sing Brunswick County’s praises: “We love it here. The folks are friendly and the weather is SO not Vermont.” With gracious locals and grateful new residents, the local culture is alive and well. Brunswick County is practically synonymous with delicious seafood. Quaint restaurants, fine dining, and informal local haunts alike are found throughout the area.

Ferries connect locals to the five Brunswick islands, which boast 45 miles of stunning, unspoiled beaches. The islands form a barrier from the Atlantic, so swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and beachcombing in this area is easy with calm, smooth waters. Each island has its own notable seaside towns with their unique take on marina-style living. Beautiful nature preserves await you at Bald Head Island, renowned for its birdwatching. Bird Island is home to dunes and marshes alike. Boiling Springs Lakes Preserve supports to a variety of exciting wildlife. The otherworldly Green Swamp Preserve is a longleaf pine savanna that features orchids, alligators, and carnivorous plants. If forests captivate you enough to draw you away from the seashore, do not miss a chance to explore Brunswick Forest. Nature lovers with a soft spot for wildlife cannot miss a trip to Oak Island, Caswell Beach, or Sunset Beach during nesting season when baby sea turtles hatch in the sand and make their iconic wiggle into the water. Sea turtles hatch between July and October each year. If catching your own local seafood is of interest, look no further – fishing is a beloved hobby in the area. Curious beginners and seasoned fishermen alike can enjoy Brunswick County’s many fishing piers or spend time on an adventurous charter either inshore or in the deeper waters beyond the Brunswick Islands. 3.

Take a detour to Greenlands Farm to check out some farm and food-focused educational programs and stop by the petting zoo. At Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson, kids can experience a crucial pre-Revolutionary war port that became a Civil War fort a century later.
