Architectural Caliber and Price Positioning

Waterstone homes are built to a standard that distinguishes them immediately from conventional Wilmington subdivisions. Buyers find custom and semi-custom construction featuring low-country influenced facades, brick and Hardie exterior detailing, open-concept interiors with coffered ceilings, and chef-grade kitchen appointments. Homes in Waterstone typically list between $550,000 and $950,000, with select larger estates reaching above $1 million depending on lot position and finish level. Floor plans generally range from 2,800 to 5,200 square feet, with generous lot sizes averaging between 0.3 and 0.6 acres. The community was developed primarily in the 2000s and 2010s, giving buyers newer construction with mature landscaping and established streetscapes.

Premier Neighborhoods and Enclaves Within Waterstone

Within the broader Waterstone community, certain streets and sections command consistent premium positioning. Homes along Waterstone Drive and within the Summerhouse section of the development draw particular interest for their larger lots, enhanced privacy buffers, and proximity to community amenities. Buyers who prioritize separation from neighboring homes often focus on the back sections of the community where wooded rear yards create a greater sense of seclusion. Waterstone is part of the Ogden area of northern Wilmington, placing residents within minutes of the Market Street corridor and easy access to I-140.

Lifestyle and Amenities for Discerning Buyers

Waterstone residents enjoy access to community amenities that reflect the neighborhood's upper-tier positioning, including a resort-style pool and clubhouse facilities. The community's location places it roughly 15 minutes from Wrightsville Beach, one of the most sought-after coastal destinations in the Southeast, and within 10 minutes of Mayfaire Town Center, Wilmington's premier outdoor retail and dining destination. For buyers who value both privacy at home and access to coastal lifestyle, this combination is difficult to match at any comparable price point in the Wilmington market. Airlie Gardens, a landmark coastal estate garden, is a short drive south, adding to the cultural texture of daily life here.

Rare waterfront opportunity inside the Surf City limits just minutes from the island and beach access. This unique double lot offers approximately 100 feet of water frontage, water views, boat access, and an existing dock. The property consists of two lots being sold together and offers numerous possibilities for future use. Build a large custom waterfront home, explore the option to re-divide the lots back to their original configuration to create two 50x100 waterfront lots, or consider other development opportunities such as a duplex (buyers should verify with the Town of Surf City and CAMA regarding permitted uses). Currently on the property are two habitable structures--a primary home and a mobile home--each with separate water meters, electric meters, and sewer connections. The existing homes can be used immediately while plans for future development are considered. The lots are currently combined due to an addition on the home that encroaches onto the second lot. Removal of the addition may allow the property to be re-divided according to the original plat. With 100 feet of waterfront, water views, boating access, and a location close to Surf City beaches, shops, and restaurants, this property presents a rare chance to create a waterfront retreat, investment property, or future development opportunity.
