DW and I are nearing RE and are continuing to evaluate places; primarily the southeast coast, from Florida up thru the Carolina's. One place we are researching and want more info on is Wilmington, NC. There are several threads here on Wilmington but, mostly old and not much depth.
We're interested in a vibrant downtown, on the water, a mild warm climate (thus the SE coast), some diversity, tolerance, plus the standard: low crime, good health care, good transportation, etc. We love the beach but, can live nearby as long as we have some water view. We're focusing on the SE (versus southern Cali coast) due to cost of living. We will live in a condo, as we do now, and love old renovated/repurposed condo buildings.
Would appreciate the benefit of your first hand knowledge of the pros and cons of Wilmington, NC, and any suggestions you might have.
