Whether you are looking for a great place to retire, raise a family, start a business, invest in real estate or just enjoy a great vacation destination, Brunswick County North Carolina is quietly developing a reputation as one of the best U.S. coastal destinations. Situated between Myrtle Beach and Wilmington, Brunswick County is comprised of six coastal communities, each unique. From the quaint fishing village of Southport, incredible St. James Plantation and the beach communities of Oak Island, Ocean Isle, Holden Beach and the island of Bald Head, Brunswick County represents the best of the North Carolina coast.

A 1992 Kiplinger Personal Finance Magazine article called the area "an authentic community with school buses, college students, working families - instead of planned communities of look-alike houses. Quiet streets instead of congested mall parking lots, changing seasons rather than endless summers...also a low-to-moderate cost of living.

Avid golfers will appreciate that Brunswick County is host to over 35 championship golf courses. Marinas also abound for boating and fishing enthusiasts and of course there are the beaches, miles and miles of sandy white beaches. All of this is situated just 30 minutes from the many cultural attractions found in the thriving port city of Wilmington and 45 minutes from the exciting Grand Strand of Myrtle Beach. Whatever community you choose in Brunswick County, you surely can experience the best of both worlds.
