Nestled along the Cape Fear River in Wilmington, North Carolina, RiverLights is a master-planned community. Prized for its waterfront, water view, and water access properties, the community delivers on its promise of unsurpassed beauty. Additionally, the community offers residents world-class amenities matched with an unbeatable location in the city. Less than five miles away, historical downtown Wilmington represents the heartbeat of the city’s entertainment and culture.
Homes are custom and semi-custom constructions. These are certainly not cookie-cutter houses. Single-family and townhomes are available with plenty of floor plan options, features, and upgrades. Active-adult homes are located in the age-restricted 55+ Del Webb community. The large selection of home types and floor plans allow residents to select the best home for their preferences. While similar communities can be expensive, RiverLights homes are much more affordable.
RiverLights’ developers have crafted an abundance of outdoor amenities using the area's beautiful nature. Nature preservation and outdoor areas adorn the landscape. Fire pits, parks, and picnic areas provide areas to gather with friends, family, and neighbors. The Lake at RiverLights gives residents 38 acres of shimmering freshwater encircled by a well-maintained walking trail to enjoy. Driftwood Park allows access to the Cape Fear River and includes a launch for small watercraft. Residents and visitors can enjoy a stroll along the boardwalk and take in the view of the river, which are especially beautiful at sunset.
Beyond the outdoor amenities developers have crafted out of the surrounding environment, RiverLights residents can also access the Lake House. The Lake House includes the community’s state-of-the-art fitness center and salt-water pool. Recognizing the unique needs of its residents, Del Webb has provide its section of Riverlights with its own state-of-the-art fitness center and sports courts, and indoor and outdoor swimming pools. There's also a full-time lifestyle coordinator to provide a full range of activities and events throughout the year, including pottery classes and social clubs.

Marina Village, Riverlights' commercial area, offers a relaxed dining and shopping environment. Right now, residents can grab a slice of pizza from Girls With Dough, enjoy dinner with a view of the Cape Fear River at Smoke on the Water, and meet friends at Southern Shores Craft Beer & Wine. The developer's main goal is to work with local businesses to provide services that community residents need on a daily basis, as well as unique entertainment like the Club Golf Indoor, a 2,700 square-foot indoor golf venue with 4 simulators that allow you to play courses around the world.
A new 37-acre commercial area called 7Bridge is currently under development at the southern entrance of the community. This area of Riverlights is designed to have a higher rating of walkability. While it will service all residents in the area, including those not living in Riverlights, it will be near Argento, a luxury apartment complex, and The Cottages, a single-family homes rental complex. This area is also expected to be home to a new 4.9 acre City of Wilmington park with access to Motts Creek and a future New Hanover County elementary school.
In the northern area of RiverLights, before Marina Village, 22 more buildings will be added. These will include around 270 apartments and over 23,000 sq.ft. of commercial space. The plans for this have not been finalized.
