Tangle Oaks Condominiums is a 29-acre condominium complex with 51 units clustered in 9 buildings surrounding a marina on the intracoastal waterway. Six of the buildings overlook the marina. The remaining 3 take advantage of views to the north, east, and south across the waterway. All units are around 2,100 square feet. All were originally designed as 3-bedroom, 4-bath homes, but many have been modified to add a ground-floor space as a 4th bedroom. They are 3 stories and are not elevator-equipped. The first floor has a garage, foyer, and office or 4th bedroom and a full bath. The second floor has the living room, kitchen, and informal dining. The remaining 3 bedrooms are on the 3rd floor. The marina is completely dug into the mainland with 98 slips floating inside the bulkheaded area. Slips are doubles with piles. All recent sales have included a 30-foot slip. The marina is well equipped and well maintained. Community participation is very high.
Masons Bluff is a 10-parcel subdivision around a single street and cul-de-sac running from Middle Sound Loop Road to the intracoastal waterway in northeastern New Hanover County. Three of the 10 parcels are waterfront, with the remaining 7 landlocked. None of the three waterfront properties have private docks, so the common dock has 10 slips. It's a bit of a hike to the slips, which are 200 yards from the shore. There is a pavilion at the docks. The slips are 30 feet long, with double slips, full fingers, and piles in between. All slips accept one boat; one appeared to have a power lift. The docks are right off the intracoastal waterway, with no breakwater, and are subject to wake buffeting.
All of the slips, except one, are equipped with power lifts. The docks are floating with wood framing and wood decking. They have utility pedestals.
Bradley Oaks Condominiums is a 16-unit development perched on a rounded peninsula on Bradley Creek, taking full advantage of the views for every unit. The development offers 3- and 4-bedroom models, all with 3 & 1/2 baths and ranging from 2200 to 2500 sq ft. There appear to be 16 slips, one for each unit. They accommodate up to 35 footers. Slips are doubles with piles and partial fingers. Every slip appears to have a dock box. They are floating and appear to have a synthetic plank surface. Approach is from a wooden pier with an aluminum gangway.
Poplar Grove Point is a small, 9-parcel subdivision off Scotts Hill Loop Road. Although just northeast of Wilmington, it is in Pender County. The subdivision's houses are large and stately, with lots ranging from a little over 0.5 to 1.0 acre. Poplar Grove Point has exceptionally nice docks with wide synthetic flow-through deck surface and a floating dock for convenient loading and unloading. All of the slips are equipped with power lifts. The docks also include a covered pavilion and a fish sink. The wide fingers make it easy to move along the full length of your boat. The docks are just off the intracoastal waterway, so wakes in the area are an issue, making the fixed height and lifts a practical necessity. It would appear that every parcel gets a cock and there is a high level of participation from the neighborhood.
Figure Eight Harbour is a 23-unit condominium complex on the intracoastal waterway behind Figure Eight Island. Most units are 3-bedroom, 3-bath, around 1,660 square feet, with a few variations. There are 24 slips in the marina. Approximately half of the slips have power lifts. The docks are right off the intracoastal waterway, and there is no breakwater, so wakes are an issue. The slips are 30-foot doubles with piles

Oyster Point is a 52-parcel subdivision in the Porter’s Neck area of Northeast New Hanover County. It occupies two separate tracts of land. One tract is a peninsula on the eastern side of Everett’s Creek, a tributary to Pages Creek. Most of the assigned spaces were about 20 feet, with a few 24-foot spaces. That didn't work out; today, no boats are berthed on the east side of the platform. It is clearly too narrow and too shallow to dock on that side.
