The neighborhood is made up of single-family homes in an area that is filled with areas of dense trees. It lies at the edge of property that belongs to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington Campus.
University Commons and University Center, which are directly west of College Acres, provide area residents with convenient shopping that is no more than a few minutes from their homes.
