It's common to hear any town or city proclaim that it "has something for everyone," but rarely does the sentiment ring as true as it does in Wilmington. With an active Coast Guard presence, a vibrant university community, a bit of Hollywood history, and easy access to some of the best surf beaches on the East coast, Wilmington has more going for it than most cities do. Despite that, it manages to feel warm and welcoming, with a charming historic downtown and riverfront brimming with local businesses to keep residents and visitors alike entertained.

And that's not nearly all. In addition to its beachy atmosphere, Wilmington also boasts a horticultural side. Airlie Gardens epitomize the Southern garden in the spring and summer months with their dazzling arrangement of camellias, magnolias, sweeping wisteria vines, and azaleas. Animal lovers have their choice between seeing sea life at the North Carolina Aquarium or walking along the paths at the Fort Fisher Recreation Area. Loggerhead sea turtles and rare shorebirds may be tough to spot, but just looking for them among the changing landscape is a special experience. Whatever it is that draws you to Wilmington and keeps you here, be sure to make your home a sanctuary that will allow you to fully enjoy it. An ADT monitored security system helps provide peace of mind that your home is safe, so you can make the most of your time in Wilmington.
