Belville

Belville, North Carolina, offers a charming glimpse into life in Brunswick County. As a small, yet vibrant community, it lies cozily nestled between the sprawling landscapes of Leland, with which it shares a postal code. This quaint town, though modest in size, packs a wealth of amenities and natural beauty, drawing both residents and visitors alike to its serene environment.

Just a stone’s throw from the bustling life of downtown Wilmington, Belville is conveniently located less than five miles away, making it an ideal spot for those who appreciate the quiet of a smaller town but still crave the excitement of city life. The proximity to Wilmington provides residents with easy access to urban amenities, including shopping, dining, and cultural events, without compromising the peacefulness of suburban living. 

One of the crowning jewels of Belville is the Belville Riverwalk, formerly known as the Brunswick Riverwalk Park at Belville. This picturesque locale is more than just a park; it’s a hub of community life and a testament to the town’s commitment to preserving and celebrating its natural resources. 

The Riverwalk stretches along the Brunswick River and offers stunning views of the western banks of Eagle Island. Here, residents and visitors can immerse themselves in nature via a well-maintained trail system that includes an outdoor classroom and a meandering boardwalk perfect for leisurely strolls or morning jogs. 

The Riverwalk is also equipped to cater to outdoor enthusiasts with its fishing pier and small boat access, welcoming kayakers and canoeists to explore the tranquil waters. Families find a haven here too, with two playgrounds where children can spend hours of fun, and picnic shelters that make ideal spots for weekend gatherings or serene lunches outdoors. The community spirit of Belville shines through in the seasonal farmers’ market and the array of events hosted throughout the year, fostering a strong sense of belonging and engagement among residents.

Belville’s vision extends beyond the current beauty of the Riverwalk. The town has ambitious plans to transform the area along the Brunswick River off Old River Road into a vibrant downtown core. This planned development aims to include a mix of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. An amphitheater is on the agenda, promising a venue for events and concerts that will enhance the cultural tapestry of the town. Additionally, the introduction of restaurants, retail spaces, offices, a marina, and a hotel will boost local economy and tourism, while seamlessly connecting these new facilities to the Belville Riverwalk via the existing boardwalk. You can follow this development and track future changes on the Belville Vision website.

The strategic location of Belville continues to add to its appeal. Less than 15 miles from the sandy shores of Wrightsville Beach, residents can easily indulge in beach days, soaking up the sun or engaging in water sports. Moreover, the town is conveniently less than eight miles from Wilmington International Airport, offering effortless travel options for business or leisure, making this charming town a perfect blend of accessibility and escape. 

Belville represents more than just a place to live; it embodies a community dedicated to growth and quality of life, wrapped in the tranquility of coastal living. Whether you are drawn by the promise of future developments or the established charm of the Riverwalk and its natural settings, Belville invites you to become part of its story, to create a home in a town that values both its roots and its future.
