I want to thank Christopher Columbus Creekmore my realtor through Carolina Plantations for making the purchasing of a home a wonderful experience. Chris is very professional and enjoyable. He went out of his way to spending 4 days with me. Spending a day in Wilmington and showing me the sites, visiting communities and selecting a homesite and home to build. I would totally recommend him as the realtor for his knowledge, warm presence and in all a fantastic experience. There is no stone unturned as he will be extremely thorough. I also have the pleasure to work with Brian Galeucia since I selected to build in Brunswick Forest. This has also been a wonderful experience. It is such a please to work with him also. This will also be an on going experience as I work through the building process. Because of building I will be working with Mark Maxwell. He has been very thorough and a pleasure to start this process. To sum up my experience: I'm excited to work through this process with these gentlemen for the next year.Thank you, from a future resident Brunswick ForestChristine Pelletier Nashua, NH

We love the outdoors and at Brunswick Forest we can really enjoy it. The trails are fabulous, we walk nearly every single day. The pools are beautiful, we play tennis and golf too. The lake is really a special place. We love everything about the community. There are lots of activities and events to get together with neighbors and build a strong sense of community.

We are waiting for our new home to be completed. We hope we are in there by early April. Should be six months from the start date which was Aug '13, but March seems unlikely.
We have been in the apt. north of Carolina Beach, since June, so we are ready to get our things out of storage and into our new home. Summer was GREAT here, we LOVE Ft. Fisher area! We have met some neighbors around the pond on Talmage Dr., and get over to BF frequently to walk our dog & exercise, use the pool, etc.. Our good friends have moved into their new home in BF on Lillibridge, and they are very happy. When we go over there, we find ourselves just looking up, as TRUSST builds a very pretty home with many details, many of which are toward & ON the ceiling. We are very excited, and are really trying to be patient.
We have met our new next door neighbors and have been out with them socially many times. They will be moving into their home this week - tomorrow, actually. Their home is larger - the "Captiva" Florida style home. Too much house for us to keep clean, but they are happy. Our whole idea for this move was to simplify our lives so we have more time to "play." Brunswick Forest is surely lively. My doctor told me to start taking vitamin supplements to keep up with everyone over in BF! :0 !
Thanks for helping us realize our dream of a new, smaller, home in a fun community! We are sure we made the RIGHT decision!

My wife and I visited Brunswick Forest and took a tour of the facilities last weekend. We were able to see the community in all of its splendor. We were able to meet and mingle with many of the residents at the cardboard regatta and also the concert on the mall Saturday. Everyone was really friendly and willing to share their experience at Brunswick Forest with us, all of which were extremely positive. We also got to spend the day at the swimming pool and fitness center. After swimming, we visited Cape Fear National which is also located on the premises. Friday night we went into Wilmington and experienced downtown Wilmington with all of his restaurants, bars, and stores. It is really a beautiful city to be a part of. We truly fell in love with the community. This experience definitely made up our minds as to where we want to retire.

A big Thanks to Chris Creekmore for helping us find our beautiful home in Brunswick Forest! He did a great job showing us the different areas of Wilmington that helped us find the perfect place for us. His knowledge and experience makes it easy to recommend him. Thanks Chris!

Chris Creekmore, 55Places.com. local rep, is fabulous. On our first trip to Wilmington, Chris took the time to give us tour of the city...he took us to the local beaches, to downtown, to the local hospital helping us understand the amenities of the entire Wilmington area. Next after asking us about our housing needs, Chris took us on a tour of several communities within 20 miles of Wilmington so we could determine the top communities where we had the most interest. Three months later we returned & Chris had us look at very specific housing in each of the 3 communities where we had the most interest. Through process of elimination and after 1 more visit, we came to the conclusion that Brunswick Forest hit the most hot buttons for us. My wife and I purchased a very well-built single family home in Brunswick Fores. This is 1 of about 3 or 4 communities in the area that offer several first class builders ....you can't go wrong with any of them! This was a great experience from the initial inquiry all the way through the purchase of our property. If you are serious about the area, reach out to Chris...he's is not only very knowledgeable, but a wonderful person.

The community of Brunswick Forest is just what we desired, great homes at great value, friendly neighbors, and lots of activities for residence. The Wilmington area seems to offer all the amenities needed or wanted without the North East population, and its cold weather nor the Florida heat and endless palm trees.

5.0

It is hard to believe that we made a decision so quickly. We really did fall in love with Brunswick Forest the first time we visited. It was exactly what we wanted: a beautiful neighborhood, close to the beach, with an active adult community, lots of activities, and no yard work. The deal was clinched when we rode bikes (provided by the Welcome Center) around the development, talked to the residents, and found them all friendly and loving life here. When we moved in, less than four months after first visiting, we met more of our neighbors in the first week than I had met in twelve years at my townhouse in Maryland. We encountered friendly, helpful, happy neighbors. In the nearly five months we have lived here, we have continued to fall in love with the area and the development. We have participated in many of the activities offered (kayaking, line dancing, massages, personal training, pizza parties) and are loving our almost daily bike rides though the neighborhood or to the pool. Although we chose our new town, neighborhood, and home very swiftly and after only one visit, we have not regretted our decision for even a nanosecond!

Thank you for introducing Candace and me to Brunswick Forest in Leland, North Carolina. We had a few concerns about our construction. The builder, JordanBuilt Homes, took care of every concern immediately. We absolutely love our neighbors and the convenience of having the community center and golf course blocks away from our new home. From picking us up at the airport to giving us Wilmington history and showing us the Mayfair Mall to helping us find the home of our dreams, our 55 Places Partner Agent was the best. They are the real estate salesman that all other agents should be judged by and set the standard that others can only hope to achieve. If I had a way to tell the thousands of other seniors who have the same apprehension about moving to Brunswick Forest, I would tell them to do it sooner rather than later. Thank you for helping us to find the glorious retirement lifestyle we dreamed about. All the best, Chuck and Candace

Great community. Developer continues to add amenities. Currently 2 outdoor pools and one indoor pool with another planned for spring 2020. The meeting space issue reminds me of the Yogi Berra quote " nobody goes here any more because it is too crowed" There are so many organizations, clubs and neighborhood organizations here that sites need to be scheduled well in advance. A world class indoor pickle ball facility just opened up for all the players we have. I guess some people just look at the world thru dark glasses Well maintained and designed with measured growth. Really enjoy this place and after looking at many, so glad I moved here.

3.0

We are very happy living in Brunswick Forest and the larger Wilmington community. However, I don't know for how long. There will be no more tennis or pickleball courts, no basketball court. No large community room, no billiards. The 3rd pool was to be done by now and is not. It will not be large enough to make a dent in the usage. The fitness center does not have enough space. Many people are forced to go outside the community for meeting space, fitness classes and fitness equipment. For years the sales staff has told potential buyers of amenities that were never built. The residents are active and wonderful. But if you want well cared for and enough amenities this is not the place for you.

2.0

Yes, Brunswick Forest is both a beautiful and friendly community close to beaches and all that Wilmington has to offer. Disappointing is the insufficient and poorly maintained amenities that do not adequately accommodate utilization by this active and rapidly growing community. What you see is what you get.

2.0

People are very friendly and the neighborhood was in a convenient location. This neighborhood is in a state of growth and expansion and the present amenities ( which look run down ) are certainly too few for all the new developments continually being built. We feel we should have asked different questions and should have looked further. Take your time. Common areas should be upgraded and expanded!

2.0

After visiting with our realtor a few weeks ago I find many of the reviews posted to be fair, honest and open. Yes, it is quite beautiful, yes, it seems a bit over built and yes, the available amenities space has not kept up with growth. One of the main concerns is the manner in which Brunswick Forest is marketed. It leads you to believe this is an active adult type development. If anyone is still in the process of finding the right retirement community I strongly suggest: age restricted to 55+ ONLY in a gated community.

2.0

I know that 55places has rated Brunswick Forest as one of the 10 fastest growing communities. This is probably true, but there are some questions you need to ask your sales rep. This is a friendly community with an ideal location. But, you will want to know what the developer is doing to keep pace with this growth. We already are unable to provide meeting space for the clubs and activities that the developer boasts as a positive. Pickleball courts and Tennis courts are becoming overwhelmed as our population grows. And the two outdoor pools are hardly sufficient for our needs. Understand, I love this community and the people who live here. But, if amenities are important to you, make sure you get the answers to your questions from the sales people.

2.0

Population quickly outgrowing amenities. Loud construction traffic everywhere. Do not buy along major road ways, it's noisy. Very friendly communities and people.

2.0

I am in hope that the developer will add additional amenities as the community continues to grow. We have already outgrown the meeting space, and many groups have to meet at neighboring communities. The tennis courts and pickleball courts are well used and crowded at times. With just over 2000 homes and more than 4000 more to be built, these issues will only get worse.
