Wilmington is a great city to visit when traveling the states! When people think of North Carolina, their mind immediately go towards Raleigh or Charlotte and completely miss Wilmington! Going through downtown Wilmington is always a new adventure. The local stores put out different products depending on the season, and the food is amazing!
Wilmington is an outstanding city full of life! You can go from beautiful beaches to city night life in one day just by crossing town. Our local businesses are supported by the whole city and are growing every year. You can also see a large diversity of people here year-round. I would say the only subject that could use improvement, and is receiving it slowly, are the roads and drivers. Traffic is often very bad especially during the summer, but new work is being down to improvement that everyday!
Incredible coastal city with a lively downtown and great local beaches! There are some great companies to work for and also a lot of service industry jobs, but is somewhat limited depending on your field. Lots of festivals, breweries and craft beer is also big here, but also holds that home town charm and feel.
