Leland is the largest town in Brunswick County. It sits just west of downtown Wilmington, across the Brunswick and Cape Fear rivers, where US 17, US 74/76, and I-140 meet. The town puts downtown Wilmington about 10 minutes away and Wilmington International Airport (ILM) about 11 miles away, so many buyers look here for newer homes with the city close by.
A Leland mailing address covers more ground than the town limits. Some homes with Leland addresses sit in neighboring towns or in unincorporated Brunswick County, and that affects taxes and services.

Before buying here
The Town of Leland puts downtown Wilmington about 10 minutes away and Wilmington International Airport about 11 miles away. Most trips cross the Cape Fear River, often on the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, which NCDOT is planning to replace, so travel time depends on the address, the route, and traffic. Try the drive at the times you'd make it before you decide.
Much of Leland is master-planned communities. Brunswick Forest, Magnolia Greens, Compass Pointe, Waterford, Westport, and Grayson Park are among the best known, each with its own amenities, HOA, and range of home styles. Many amenities are for residents or members only, and some communities are gated, so confirm what a specific home includes.
Yes. Del Webb Wilmington at Mallory Creek is a 55+ community with a clubhouse, indoor and outdoor pools, pickleball, and walking trails. Age rules, HOA dues, and available homes change, so confirm details with the community.
Yes. Builders are active in several communities, including Del Webb at Mallory Creek, alongside established neighborhoods from earlier decades. Floor plans, phases, and incentives change often, so check current listings and confirm details with the builder.
Not always. A Leland mailing address can be inside the Town of Leland, in a neighboring town, or in unincorporated Brunswick County, and that affects your tax bill. The town doesn't provide water or sewer. Service comes from H2GO or Brunswick County Public Utilities, depending on the property, so confirm the jurisdiction and provider for any address. Confirm school assignments by address with Brunswick County Schools, too.

It varies by property. Homes near creeks, marsh, and the river deserve a closer look. Check the property on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center or North Carolina's Flood Risk Information System, get insurance quotes early, and ask about drainage and any history of water issues.
