Learn more about Newbury Woods

If you’re house-hunting around Wilmington and the Ogden area, Newbury Woods offers a broad lineup of appealing homes and a lifestyle that’s hard to beat for convenience and comfort.

The Homes of Newbury Woods

Newbury Woods features single-family homes that appeal to buyers seeking practical layouts, manageable footprints, and a mix of modern and traditional touches. Many properties date to the late 1990s and early 2000s, reflecting a period of steady residential growth in this part of Wilmington.

Most floor plans include 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, and many homes incorporate a primary suite on the main level. Vaulted or cathedral ceilings are fairly common, adding a sense of openness to the central living spaces. Another perk is flexibility—some properties include a bonus room or adaptable area above the main level that can be used as an additional bedroom, home office, media room, or hobby space. Other homes offer extras like sunrooms off the dining area or patios extending from the kitchen and living room.

Outdoor features vary, but many homes include fenced back yards, sometimes with patios or storage sheds. Architectural styles lean toward practical, low-maintenance construction with vinyl siding, wood-frame builds, slab foundations, and architectural-shingle roofs. One- or two-car attached garages are typical and provide extra convenience for parking and storage.

Inside, open-concept layouts are common, creating a comfortable flow between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. Kitchens often include standard appliances and modernized finishes, with several homes featuring upgrades like luxury vinyl plank flooring.

Everyday Life: Shopping, Dining & More

Location is one of Newbury Woods’ strongest advantages. The neighborhood sits in the Ogden area, offering quick access to major routes and a wide range of daily conveniences. Two of the most popular nearby destinations are Mayfaire Town Center—a go-to spot for shopping, dining, entertainment, and a movie theater—and Bayshore Commons in the nearby Porters Neck area, which provides additional dining options, essential services, and retailers.

Beyond those hubs, the larger Ogden and Murrayville corridors offer groceries, restaurants, and everyday conveniences just minutes from home. For beach lovers, Wrightsville Beach is within an easy drive, making coastal outings simple to fit into your weekly routine. The community also provides practical access to downtown Wilmington, area parks, and other commercial centers.

The Feel of the Community

Tree-lined streets and well-maintained lawns give Newbury Woods a cohesive, welcoming atmosphere. Because many homes were built during the same era, the neighborhood presents a consistent architectural look without feeling overly uniform. The range of floor plans offers versatility—whether someone wants a manageable single-story layout, a home with extra space to spread out, or something with room to grow.
