A New Community-RiverLights, Wilmington NC
RiverLights Homes for Sale
In 2008 Newland Communities bought 1,400 acres of land along the Cape Fear River. They began building a new neighborhood - RiverLights, Wilmington NC. It required moving River Road which helped restore natural wetlands and preserve sand dunes and wildlife. The existing road was realigned throughout the property. The speed limit on the new River Road was reduced to 45 mph. Now it has traffic circles to slow drivers at both entrances of the development.Development
Today, RiverLights is fast tracking development. The Marina Village and the new restaurant, Smoke on the Water are open to the public under rave reviews. Events are planned in and around the Marina Village for everyone to enjoy. Oyster roasts, Muffins and Mimosas, and even outdoor movies are just a few of the events. Construction is underway on the RiverLights homes for sale and houses are finished what seems like daily. Multiple builders are working hard to fulfill the more than 2000 home planned development. Model homes from 8 builders are open.Dell Web Retirement Community

Like Marina Village for the rest of RiverLights, Dell Webb plans many activities on and off sight. Exercise groups to volunteer opportunities and much more will keep seniors busy and fulfilled.The Vision
Located along three miles of the Cape Fear River, RiverLights Wilmington NC, is designed to be an environmentally friendly community, and will ultimately include more than 2,000 homes, a town center, shops, restaurants, parks, five ponds, a 112 boat slip marina and a dry dock.
