Brunswick Forest Opens 3 Neighborhoods, Sales Top $116 Million Mark

 
Brunswick Forest, NC: New neighborhoods, healthy sales.

Brunswick Forest, located on North Carolina’s Cape Fear
Coast and spurred by strong sales recently, announces the
opening of three new neighborhoods representing more than
200 new homes. Six new model homes are already open, the
first of 11 new models to be ready in the next three months.

The six new decorator-furnished model homes will open in the
Villamar, Gardenwood and Belshaw neighborhoods. As with
last year’s  Dream Street model opening, interest in
Brunswick Forest has been quite high, say the developers,
drawing more than 100 prospects a week.

The new models are expected to add to a sales pace that has
already exceeded $116 million and 407 homes and homesites
through January of this year. More than $49 million in sales
has been posted in just the last six months.

The 139 transactions recorded since the August 2007 opening
of the new Welcome Center make Brunswick Forest one of
the fastest-selling communities in the greater Wilmington
area, community officials say.

traditionally a slow month for home purchases, Brunswick
Forest recorded 10 sales totaling $4 million. Executives at the
community expect as many as 18 new contracts to be
written in February.

Secluded on North Carolina’s Cape Fear Coast, Brunswick
Forest is a thoughtfully planned 4,500-acre retreat only
minutes from historic Wilmington. Ancient woodlands, slow-
moving creeks and broad meadows provide the dramatic
backdrop for a community with a wealth of amenities.

hole championship course which plans to open its first 18
holes in the summer of 2009.

The community will also feature two water-themed facilities—
the River Club and Ocean Club—a Community Garden, a
Wellness/Fitness Center, parks, preserves, miles of leisure
trails and a pedestrian-friendly commercial village.

A vast 100-mile network of paths and trails provide
