Wilmington, NC Apartments for Rent

Located where the Cape Fear River meets the Atlantic Ocean, Wilmington, NC combines historic architecture with coastal living. Those looking for apartments for rent in Wilmington will discover a walkable downtown anchored by a 1.75-mile riverwalk and a historic district spanning nearly 300 blocks. The beaches of Wrightsville and Carolina Beach are just minutes away. A one-bedroom apartment in Wilmington averages $1,331, below the North Carolina state average.

The mild climate makes it easy to enjoy outdoor spaces like Greenfield Lake Park, where Spanish moss-draped cypress trees line walking trails and paddle boats dot the water. Downtown's Thalian Hall, a restored 1858 opera house, hosts performances throughout the year. The University of North Carolina Wilmington and Cape Fear Community College campuses contribute to the city's educational landscape. With Independence Mall for shopping, locally-owned restaurants downtown, and average commute times under 25 minutes, Wilmington combines coastal living with city convenience.
