Wilmington, North Carolina is a city located between the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean. While the city is a hit with tourists, it’s beginning to attract more attention as a place to move to, as well. The permanent community here is warm and residents look out for one another. Residents also have great public schools, lively restaurants and breweries, and, of course, access to some of the best beaches on the Atlantic Coast. While the tourist presence does contribute to traffic issues in town, it also provides plenty of jobs at all income levels.
