Brunswick County is one of the fastest-growing counties in North Carolina, and it shows in the variety of moves we run here every week: Leland's booming master-planned communities just across the river from Wilmington, Southport's historic waterfront, and the chain of barrier-island beach towns running south toward the South Carolina line, including Oak Island, Shallotte's inland hub, Ocean Isle Beach, and Sunset Beach.
About The Area
Brunswick County shares a latitude with Atlanta, Phoenix, and Los Angeles, giving it a genuinely mild, four-season climate with only the occasional light snow. Bolivia serves as the county seat and government center, Leland has grown into the county's population center closest to Wilmington, and Southport anchors the maritime and historic identity of the southern coast. The county's beach towns each have a distinct personality, from Oak Island's dog-friendly, walkable shoreline to Sunset Beach's quieter pace near Bird Island.
schools & family info
Brunswick County Schools serves the entire county, with elementary, middle, and high schools distributed across Leland, Bolivia, Southport, and Shallotte, plus the Brunswick County Early College and The COAST specialty program based in Bolivia.
Things To do
Between the beaches, the county offers the NC Maritime Museum and historic walking tours in Southport, golf at Brunswick Forest's Cape Fear National and the Fred Couples-designed Carolina National, the Museum of Coastal Carolina and Ingram Planetarium near the southern beaches, and the Fort Fisher Ferry connecting Southport to the Kure Beach side of the Cape Fear River.
Local Moving Tips
Brunswick County's biggest local-move variable is distance and access type. A Brunswick Forest townhome in Leland moves very differently than an elevated cottage on Oak Island or Ocean Isle Beach. Our free walkthrough accounts for your specific property type before we ever quote an hourly rate.
