Wilmington stretches along North Carolina's coast where the Cape Fear River flows into the Atlantic Ocean, creating a distinctive port city vibe that's been drawing residents since the 1730s. If you're searching for apartments for rent in Wilmington, you'll discover North Carolina's eighth-largest city, where over 115,000 people enjoy historic character and coastal life just minutes from stunning beaches.

Renting in Wilmington means choosing from neighborhoods like the downtown historic district with its 230-block collection of preserved buildings, the tree-lined South Side near the riverfront, or newer developments around Mayfaire Town Center. Getting around is simple with major highways like I-40 and US-17, while the downtown Riverwalk links you to waterfront restaurants and shops.
