Location

The best of both worlds (and a location to prove it).

Within Riverlights, you’re surrounded by the perfect mix of tranquility and town energy, and you’re also just a short distance from a thriving world of arts, entertainment and more. Our community is less than five miles south of Historic Downtown Wilmington, with world-class dining, cultural events, nightlife, and a Central Business District. And when you want to get away, take a quick drive to the best beaches or boat down the river to the intercoastal or out to the Atlantic. Want to get even further away? Wilmington International Airport (ILM) will get you just about anywhere.
