UNCW's laid-back campus vibes and the beachy charm of Wilmington make it a no-brainer for folks looking to snag a home or investment property in this lively mix of academia and coastal living.
The area surrounding the college campus can be incredibly desirable due to the larger lots and brick homes. Another factor, of course, being the proximity to the campus makes these prime investment properties for investors.
It pays to really understand the neighborhood where you want to buy a home - especially in a community along the sea! You may have questions, and we have the answers!
Things you'll love
As an investor, you will love that this area sees very little vacancies and steady rental rates as UNCW continues to grow. In 2023 there was almost 18,000 students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs. Pair this with the existence of esteemed Cape Fear Community College, you have a very healthy need for rentals in close proximity to the campus.
