Waterford of the Carolinas: What’s in a name?
Wilmington and surrounding beaches can certainly boast some of the most impressive and desirable real estate in NC (some may even argue the entire east cost). However, not all premiere views have to be oceanfront. Leland’s Waterford of the Carolinas community has been garnering growing attention from homebuyers nationwide since its groundbreaking… and for good reason. The thoughtfully planned community situates nearly each of its 800+ home sites with plentiful water views. The vast network of lakes, canals and creeks that thread Waterford’s naturally lush environment creates a haven for water lovers desiring beautiful homes in pristine surrounds. Aside from boating, canoeing, paddle boarding and fishing, residents also have access to a clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, fitness center and miles of expertly maintained hiking trails.
The community design captures the essence of relaxed, southern charm with boulevards winding outward from the central clubhouse and thriving recreation center. You’ll find a resort-style pool with a cabana bar, four Har-tru tennis courts, and the stately clubhouse with a media/game room and a fully-equipped fitness facility. Steps from the clubhouse is a sandy beach with a volleyball court and plenty of room for lounging and sunbathing in warmer months.
Leland is fast becoming the area’s newest and most convenient “outside the city” oasis. With Waterford as its anchor, residents have every amenity and service at their fingertips. A thriving commercial district flanks the entrance to the development, including a Harris Teeter and Rite Aid, five banks, six restaurants, quaint boutiques coffee shops and 13 medical providers.
