Talk to a Specialist →Del Webb at Riverlights is the benchmark 55+ community in Wilmington — PulteGroup’s first major active adult development here, built on a peninsula of the Cape Fear River with direct water access and resort-style amenities. The community sold out and is now resale-only, with a competitive market: well-maintained homes with water views or river access move quickly and command premiums.
The Riverlights master plan surrounding the Del Webb section includes a marina village, restaurants, and retail within walking distance. For buyers who want the Wilmington coastal market at a Del Webb quality standard, this is the established benchmark everything else is compared against.
New Hanover County tax rate (~0.60%) is higher than Brunswick County (~0.50%) but buyers get the Wilmington city address and proximity to NHRMC (Novant Health) hospitals.
