 Welcome
to the Southport-Oak Island Real Estate.
We invite you to visit our North Carolina beaches,
tucked away on the southeastern coast of the
Brunswick Islands, offering both the vacationer,
resident and investor a pleasant coastal experience.
Our
community is comprised of six municipalities
-- the towns of Caswell Beach, Oak Island (Long
Beach and Yaupon Beach) and the Village of Bald
Head Island combine for over 28 miles of sandy
beaches and some of the most visible lighthouses
in North Carolina. For over 200 years the historic
coastal community of Southport has guarded the
mouth of the Cape Fear River and continues to
be the lightkeeper of its history. Boiling Spring
Lakes, one of the fastest growing cities in
our area, takes its name from the over 50 bubbling
spring lakes. The newly incorporated Town of
St. James lies along the Intracoastal Waterway
and marsh land.
Originally
incorporated in 1792 as Smithville, its progressive
citizens changed its name to Southport in 1887
in hopes of attracting a port. The port went
further upstream to the City of Wilmington but
this entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well
in the City today. The historic charm of this
community will captivate you as you walk under
a canopy of 200 year old live oak trees, or
walk past majestic Victorian century homes which
once belonged to river pilots or maybe even
a pirate or two. Southport is one of few Cities
with a true downtown. Banks, antique & collectible
shops, restaurants, and professional offices
line about a five block area in the downtown
commercial district. Just outside this district
is one of the finest medical care facilities
in our region, J.A. Dosher Memorial Hospital.
A visit to our area is not complete without
a day or two of walking through these antique
and specialty shops, stopping along the way
for a leisurely lunch at an outside pub or restaurant
along the waterfront or yacht basin, taking
a pedicab historic tour of the City, watching
transoceanic vessels pass by at Waterfront Park
and visiting the NC Maritime Museum in Southport.
The City of Southport also offers sailors, anglers
and boaters a safe haven through the Southport
Marina, Old Yacht Basin and City Pier.
