College Acres is located in the center of Wilmington in zip code 28403. Its boundaries are College Acres Drive and Thrush Drive to the west, Oriole Drive to the north, Clear Run Drive to the south, and South Cardinal Drive to the east.
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.
Inland Greens Golf Course, on Inland Greens Drive, is a nine-hole, par-three course on 31 acres inside a patio-home subdivision. The course layout is filled with water hazards and various types of terrain that challenge golfers of all abilities.
