Tidal Walk is one of the last remain tracts of land along the intracoastal water way in Wilmington. What was once a defunct development after the downturn of the real estate bubble has now been revived and promises to be the premier water access community in south Wilmington, NC. What makes Tidal Walk unique is it’s preservation of the environment, with minimal impact to the marsh and live oak trees that surround the landscape. You also have a community clubhouse and pool as well as a neighborhood dock which serves boaters and water enthusiasts of all kinds. Home owners can truly experience the coastal Carolina lifestyle, yet they are only 10 minutes from Carolina Beach and Kure Beach and 15 minutes to downtown Wilmington.
National Builder, DR Horton has helped jumpstart the new vision for this property by committing to a large number of lots in Cottages section. Homes start in the middle $300,000’s and go up to the $400,000’s. Expect 3-4 bedroom floor plans on a raised slab, one or two story, owners retreat designs on the 1st floor, and screened patios and porches. The Cottages offer great flexibility for living whether a primary residence, vacation home or retirement home.
Looking for a larger home and more yard space? Consider the Hammocks or the Sands home sites by DR Horton. These two story homes offer more architectural design with dormers and brick or stone accents for that extra curb appeal. Other features include side loading garages, additional porches, real wood fireplaces and designer kitchens. For those who are passionate about the surrounding environment, the Sands offers the deepest and widest lots with more customization to build your perfect home.
As you wind through the community towards the water way, you come to the premier home sites named the Beaches. These are custom home sites that grant amazing views of the intracoastal water way, Masonboro Island and the Atlantic Ocean in the distance. You can literally feel the coastal sea breeze and watch boats cruise by. Tidal Walk has partnered with several local, high end builders to compliment the uniqueness of each lot. Style and design will vary but expect a raised house, probably on pilings to take advantage of views and provide that coastal Carolina look. Prospect Buyers can work with Tongue and Groove, Plantation Building Corp or Mark Johnson Homes to name a few.
If you are thinking about a water access community in Wilmington at a reasonable price, then Tidal Walk is for you. There is no other community that can offer a brand new home with a stress free building process like DR Horton. When it is time to get a closer look at available models, I would be happy to meet you at the community as your Buyer’s Agent and I will be sure to introduce you to my preferred onsite sales reps.
