New Year, New Home - Why You Should Build in Hampstead, NC
Goodbye 2020, and hello 2021. In the words of The Beatles, “let’s hope it’s a good one, with plenty of cheer.”
Are you considering building a new home? Here’s why you should choose to purchase a lot and build a custom home in Hampstead, NC.
Location, location, location: Hampstead is just far enough away from the growth and traffic of Wilmington to feel quiet and cozy, yet close enough for shopping and commuting for work.
Hampstead is not on the beach, which means you avoid the beach crowds in the summer, but is 20 - 30 minutes away from the beach accesses on Wrightsville Beach and Topsail Beach.
2. Home Values: prices in Hampstead have historically held steady during the ups and downs of the economy the last 20 years. Hampstead is home to many custom home neighborhoods, and there are still infill lots remaining.
3. Schools: Hampstead is in the Pender County school district, and it’s schools, from Topsail Elementary to Topsail Middle to Topsail High School have scored high ratings for the past two decades. Young couples or families with adolescents would be wise to consider Hampstead for their new custom home.
4. Water Access: If you live near the coast, then you know what the fuss is about water access. Hampstead is home to many water access communities, some with private marinas, others with private accesses. There is also a well maintained free to use public boat ramp with ample parking, Google Maps calls it “Hampstead Boating Access Area”, it is at the end of Lewis Rd, off of Sloop Point Loop Rd.
5. Neighborly Feel: There is an intangible neighborly quality to Hampstead that you just can’t quite know until you live there. There is a “folks look out for each other” vibe that you just can’t get everywhere. How do I know? I live in Hampstead, and I have experienced it for myself. I have had good neighbors in Raleigh, and in Wilmington, but Hampstead is unique.
