WATERFORD: AFFORDABLE WATERFRONT LIVING

Along a bustling modern business corridor on US Highway 17 in Leland, NC, a serene waterfall feature announces the entrance to a secluded oasis: Waterford of the Carolinas. A thoughtfully planned residential community, Waterford, boasts waterfront views for nearly all of its 900+ home sites, proving that you don't have to live on the ocean or the river to enjoy a water view. Homes in the Waterford community wind along a vast network of lakes, canals, and creeks that thread a naturally lush environment.

The canals at Waterford of the Carolinas were built to enhance the affordable home sites, but they also provide water paths to the grocery store, doctors' offices and restaurants. In fact, if you're driving a small electric trolling motorboat (smaller than 16') or paddling a kayak, you can easily navigate to about 90% of the waterways, canals and lakes in Waterford.

The community is comprised of 19 small neighborhoods, each protected by a privacy gate, yet completely interconnected via a series of recreational pathways, bridges, and streets that allow residents to walk and bike throughout the community.

Just five minutes from Wilmington's historic downtown, the USS NC Battleship, and the Cape Fear River, Waterford offers convenience and affordability without sacrificing on views or amenities.

Inside Waterford, a stately clubhouse with a resort-style pool (complete with wade-in beach and cabana bar!) takes center stage literally sitting in the middle of the community's large round-about. The clubhouse also boasts a media and game room, a library, a kitchen, a fully-equipped fitness center, four Har-tru lighted tennis courts, and a sandy beach with a volleyball court. Waterford also has an event lawn area and a children's playground.

Residents can boat, kayak, canoe or fish along the 17 miles of shore-lined lakes and creeks; walk miles of expertly maintained hiking trails; or cruise along the bike trails.
