RiverLights New Development

[KJHburg]

Just went by the new RiverLights development off River Rd south of Wilmington. This is a great new master planned community over 1400 acres and with river access. They are building a great restaurant building right on the river and will have boardwalks and parks along the river. Plus there is some retail with apartments or condos above. Del Webb has started their age restricted community already in the community and I think other model homes are opening soon. Looks like a great new community. Could not find a master plan of it anywhere so if you know of one share it. Here is there webpage for the community http://www.riverlightsliving.com/

Went by this 2200+ plus master planned community on River Road south of the port.  Over 130 sold and houses being built furiously.  From today.  Many retirees moving here in addition to families. Rental apartments in the Marina Village over shops.  New Hanover County is one of the fastest growing counties in the state and new construction is everywhere.

They are selling lots of homes here in RiverLights on River Rd south of the state port.  More townhomes were underway at the Marina Village where the barbecue restaurant on the river is open.

That looks good.

This development continues to build on with new condos at the Marina Village on the Cape Fear River (photos) and lots of new homes which seem to be selling really well as they are in new phases.  Today.  Smoke on the River is the riverfront restaurant shown.

Great start.  Hope they have plans to keep adding on. Could grow in to a Rosemary Beach FL type of deveopment(minus the white sand and emerald water).  I hope there is a conservation area to protect some of the wetland. I always thought Wilmington and SE NC coast was underdeveloped.  I get the notion that the communities don't want to be a Myrtle B clone.  However, the area has to adpat or die. If anything capitilize on eco-tourism but give folks some entertainment and modern coastal living options. This whole region is a hidden gem.

Riverlights is a huge master planned community on riverfront land that was never developed before.  There are lots of parks and wetland preserve areas in the master plan.  They are building homes like crazy there. 

It surrounded by residential on the east and south sides already.

RiverLights continue to grow with more houses, townhomes and even the Marina Village area is growing.  Today.  Plus development work for an apartment complex.  Plus a new section of custom homes has opened with riverfront lots.  

[KJHburg]

This 1400 acre community along the Cape Fear River is really adding a lot of homes and the first huge apartment complex.  There are some apartments and condos at the Marina Village but this community is really growing and building.  Lots of photos homes from the upper 200s to $1 Million.   Del Webb has a whole huge section of homes just for those 55 and plus.  Marina Village is the first commercial hub with a few small shops and restaurants. 

[KJHburg]

this 1400 acre master planned community has sold 150 homes so far  this year.  Riverlights is booming along the Cape Fear River.
