Wilmington, North Carolina is a beautiful and historical port city that offers opportunities for college students, residents working in a variety of fields, and people who love living near the ocean.
Movie lovers might particularly enjoy the area, as the city is home to EUE/Screen Gem Studios, a facility responsible for producing big-name movies and TV shows like "One Tree Hill," "The Conjuring," "Iron Man 3," and "Dawson's Creek." While the film industry is important to Wilmington, this city's economy also flourishes in other areas, like telecommunications, electronic, medical, and electrical equipment. It also participates in clothing production, food processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Still, the city is largely known for tourism, thanks to its energetic nightlife and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean.
Wilmington also caters to history buffs, as the city contains many sites recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. Some of the noteworthy areas include the Wilmington National Cemetery, Gabriel's Landing, Fort Fisher, and the Sunset Park Historic District.
The home to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, the city boasts learning opportunities for students of any age or degree level. It also hosts multiple sports and cultural events throughout the year that the public can attend. If students are pursuing associate degrees or certificates, they can attend institutions like Miller-Motte Technical College and Cape Fear Community College. Residents can also get their postsecondary education at satellite campuses for the University of Mount Olive, Shaw University, and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
As of today, Wilmington's median rent price is $1,700 per month, which is up 3%, or $50, compared to last year.
