Two new housing developments under construction in Wilmington along Independence Blvd (Carolina Beach: 2014, apartments)

[HP91]

I know lots of folks that are looking at relocating like things new...this may be a rare opportunity to get new in the midtown area between downtown and the beaches.

Apartments/Condos/Single Family

The Condos/Single Family would be the Forks at Gallery Park (clearing is finished)...


This is directly between the Cameron Art Museum and Halyburton Park and has the cross city trail running through it. It's easy access to Pine Valley Country Club...as well as the Mall area/Hospital area...and is districted to Pine Valley Elem/Roland Grise Middle and Hoggard High.

The Apt complex is the Midtown Apartments (under construction)...

This is also along the cross city trail, adjacent to Alderman Elem (its Elem school district along with Roland Grise and Hoggard)...and is walking distance to the mall/Oleander area as well as fairly close distance to Empie Park on the other side of the Hanover Center. This story also notes a new Panera Bread under construction next to Starbucks, in front of the mall. There is a new O2 fitness in the area as well.

There is also mixed use center, Barclay West, going to the south of both of these along Independence Blvd toward Carolina Beach Rd and on 17th St across from The Forks. There is a Food Lion shopping center down that way already...this will take some time, but also include Apartments and retail...

The Forks at Gallery Park

Interesting, as I was just talking to friends who were possibly looking for a condo a few years in the future.

Well...the plans have changed to about 80 single family homes and 50 condos (it was the reverse)...but they will all look similar, with the duplexes looking like the homes but having separate entrances. Projected prices for the condo's are about $275K, the Single Family $360K or so. Land is very valuable with all the amenities around it...and more to come in Barclay West down the street.
