Continue reading to learn more about what to expect during a Brunswick Forest Coastal Discovery tour.

When my husband and I started our search for our forever home, we scoured the internet for the best community in the area that suited our personal needs. I mean it practically became a part-time job.

We wanted a well-appointed home close to area beaches that was full of activities my husband and I could take advantage of. Our dream was always to retire near the coast, and now we were ready to make that dream a reality!

One community that kept popping up in our search was Brunswick Forest. A couple of college friends of ours had visited there a couple of years back and purchased their new home. Open rooms, a gas range and a sunny screened-in porch that was perfect for entertaining. It was dreamy.

We had received an email from Brunswick Forest announcing a new neighborhood and touting the community as “Coastal by Nature®.”

Sure, weekly trips to the beach sounded ideal, and we love the diverse restaurant scene in Wilmington. However, what would our life look like living in the small neighboring town of Leland?

We were overwhelmed with questions and unsure of where to begin.

Our friends suggested booking a Coastal Discovery Tour! They boasted that it was the main reason they felt confident in making their big move.

SO, WE BOOKED THE TOUR….

Our booking associate gave us two hotel options at a preferred rate. Thankfully, both were pet-friendly. Rupert, our beloved schnauzer mix, is a rescue, and we were glad he was able to tag along.

Upon arriving in Leland, we realized this town was far from sleepy. With restaurants and shopping, we were near everything that we might need and more.

The Community was Stunning!

Just a couple of minutes from our hotel sat a natural oasis, with wonderfully manicured lawns and springtime flowers. Of course, we had viewed images online. However, nothing compares to seeing it in person. This was our first experience visiting a planned community, and it exceeded our expectations.

Meeting Our Expert…

Just a short drive from the entrance of the community was a building with potted palms and brightly colored flowers. The receptionists greeted us warmly and made sure Rupert was enjoying his visit as well.

Our representative instantly made us feel at ease. In just minutes, they went from being a perfect stranger to a dear friend intent on finding us our perfect home.

Lots? Square footage? Neighborhood strengths? Having an informational source that is grounded in the community was such an invaluable resource. Our representative had every answer we needed. Even down to what walking routes were best for Rupert.

It wasn’t just about the home; we toured a variety of amenities and learned what made Brunswick Forest so special. Our representative guided us through a large wellness center and even had a sheet detailing a list of clubs and classes held within the community. My husband and I wanted a place where we could thrive in our retirement, and this place checked every box.

As our tour was slightly before lunchtime, our representative suggested we take a break and have lunch at The Villages at Brunswick Forest. As we took the short drive to the front of the community, I realized just how convenient it truly was. A Grocery Store, restaurants, and even medical facilities were all at our fingertips. There was even a pet store for Rupert.

When our tour resumed, we visited several homes that met our specific criteria. My husband and I had quite a list of what we wanted in our new home. Our representative paid attention to every detail. Of course, we knew Brunswick Forest dealt only with reputable home builders. From the minute we walked through the doors, that expertise was illustrated, even down to the smallest aspects. My husband couldn’t believe the craftsmanship.

We ended our informative day with a wonderful complimentary water tour of the historic Cape Fear River. We learned new information, saw wildlife, and even took images to remember our trip to the area. We departed the boat and strolled along the riverfront as the sun set over the water.

Our decision was incredibly easy!

We said “Yes” to the Coastal by Nature® Lifestyle!

We have been living in our new home for almost a year now. We love exploring our new hometown and taking Rupert for his daily walks. Most days, you can find my husband at the Cape Fear National golf course, while I work on perfecting the game of Pickleball. We certainly are not easing into a sleepy retirement.

Looking back, that decision to book a Coastal Discovery Tour was an invaluable step on our real estate journey. It introduced us to the coastal life we always wanted.
