Highland Shores is the closest suburban neighborhood to historic downtown Wilmington, NC. Its 52 parcels are across the Cape Fear River, tucked behind Eagle Island. Lots range from 0.32 to 1.7 acres, with most just over half an acre. Houses typically range from about 2,500 to 4,500 square feet. They are about a 5-mile drive from downtown Wilmington. The boating distance is a little longer, at 5.5 miles around the southern tip of Eagle Island. They have a very nice common marina with 28 slips. The docks are floating, as that part of the Cape Fear River is still tidal. Utility pedestals are available, and every slip has a dock box. A covered pavilion on the pier lets you enjoy the sunset.
