Del Webb at Mallory Creek

Del Webb Wilmington at Mallory Creek is a new 55+ resort-style community in Leland (Winnabow), North Carolina, set in northern Brunswick County just about 10 miles west of downtown Wilmington and roughly 30 minutes from the Cape Fear coast beaches. Developed by Del Webb/PulteGroup with construction beginning in 2024, the community is planned for approximately 761 single-story ranch homes designed specifically for active adult living. All homes are brand-new construction with modern open layouts, flex spaces, personalization options, covered lanais, and two- to three-car garages. Floor plans include the Mainstay (2 bed / 2 bath / ~1,872 sq ft), Prestige (2 bed / 2.5 bath / ~1,987 sq ft), Stardom (2 bed / 3 bath / from ~2,179 sq ft), and larger plans such as the Stellar and Renown, generally ranging from about 1,223 to 2,712 square feet, with premium options pushing higher. The centerpiece of the community is a 20,000+ square-foot clubhouse that functions as the social and recreational hub. Inside, residents have access to a state-of-the-art fitness center with strength equipment, cardio machines, and a yoga studio, along with an indoor pool with lap lanes and hot tub, a demonstration kitchen, coffee bar, multi-purpose rooms, and gathering spaces for games, arts and crafts, cards, and clubs. Outside the clubhouse, residents enjoy a resort-style outdoor pool with sun patio and a poolside cafe, dedicated pickleball courts, bocce courts, a community garden, a dog park, and a network of winding walking and biking trails weaving through the neighborhood's natural areas. A full-time lifestyle director is on site to organize clubs, classes, social events, and special interest groups — a hallmark of the Del Webb experience. The neighborhood is designed to be golf-cart friendly and is laid out to connect easily with the surrounding Mallory Creek Plantation master plan. Because the community sits outside Leland city limits in unincorporated Brunswick County, residents may benefit from lower tax rates compared with nearby in-city developments. Everyday conveniences are close at hand: Brunswick Forest's village shopping with Lowes Foods, CVS, and medical offices is just a few miles away, and Waterford's Harris Teeter and Walmart are about five miles down the road. Historic downtown Wilmington, its Riverwalk, dining, and cultural venues are roughly 15 minutes away, Wilmington International Airport (ILM) is about a 20-minute drive, and the beaches of Oak Island, Caswell Beach, Carolina Beach, and Wrightsville Beach are all within 30-45 minutes. Two well-regarded golf courses — Magnolia Greens Golf Plantation (27 holes) and Cape Fear National at Brunswick Forest — are minutes away, along with Novant Health New Hanover Regional Medical Center and Dosher Memorial Hospital for healthcare needs. The HOA runs roughly $250-$300 per month and includes high-speed internet, front-yard lawn maintenance, and access to all common grounds and amenities, keeping day-to-day living low-maintenance. There is no CDD fee. With brand-new coastal Carolina construction, deep Del Webb programming, and a location that balances Wilmington's urban conveniences with quick beach access, Del Webb at Mallory Creek is positioned as one of the premier new 55+ destinations on the southern North Carolina coast.
