It’s a good neighborhood for people that are social and enjoy being around others. Most people in my neighborhood are trustworthy people, down to earth, and enjoy the company of others..if the garage door is open, come on over, type of people. "

    "My wife and I moved to Leland in 2006 from Kure Beach, NC. We purchased a home in the Waterford because it was ideal for our commutes into downtown Wilmington. We only moved away from the area because career opportunities and family pulled us away. I wish I could have brought the Waterford with me for its convenience (Harris Teeter, dentist, eye doctor, vet, drug store all within walking distance), the gated neighborhoods, and amenities (saltwater pool, tennis courts, greenway/pathways). I highly recommend the Waterford for families with young kids for the amenities and calm neighborhood streets, for couples looking to buy their first home, or for retirees looking to be near the coast without the high prices of Wrightsville. My wife misses the fact that we could be at Wrightsville Beach in 25 minutes...."
