Wrightsville Beach Real Estate

This is a pretty beach town with a year-round population of slightly less than 3,000 residents. It's clean, there is little in the way of garishness, and the local constable does a fine job keeping order in the face of huge crowds of visitors. A person who appreciates small-town living in a beach atmosphere with the convenience of a nearby city will adore this place. There are 5 miles of clean beach on which to jog or simply stroll. On just about any day of the year, you'll see surfers waiting for the big one to roll in.

The Wrightsville Beach real estate market is stable. If a property comes onto the market, it will often sell quickly. Many of the existing homes stay in families generation after generation. Quite a few of these properties are used only as summer homes. When homes do go on the market, the price tag is large. Expect to pay between $600,000 and $3 million for any single-family home, and don't be surprised by much higher prices for oceanfront property. Those homes begin at about $1,000,000.

Since the available land is all but exhausted in terms of development on the island and high-rises are limited to 96 feet, most of the opportunities for purchase are either replacement of older houses with new ones or, more likely, in condominiums.

There are however, a few residential developments springing up near Wrightsville Beach, and these developments offer patio and single-family homes in an affordable price range.
