Hampstead, North Carolina remained largely unnoticed for decades as newcomers arrived relocating a bit farther south to the city of Wilmington.  Hampstead was little more than a fuel stop for those travelling Route 17 to and from Jacksonville.  Friends told friends who began to look beyond the boundaries of Wilmington for home sites.  Hampstead, NC real estate was suddenly identified as THE place to live.   Individuals who wanted to enjoy a bit of rural and small town lifestyle while still remaining accessible to the amenities of a city found the perfect solution in Hampstead.

Naturally the Hampstead locals knew about the waterway properties and golf communities that are two of the best kept secrets available.  Relaxing neighborhoods that front the Intracoastal Waterway offer many options including boating, swimming and fishing.  Hampstead’s moderate temperatures make choosing a golf community the perfect choice for those who have the luxury of playing year-round.  Who would guess that the quiet town of Hampstead could compete with the likes of Myrtle Beach and Pinehurst, with the added advantage of a significant price savings.

Hampstead’s schools boast a reputation beyond the Pender County Line.  A reputation of excellence and modern facilities has enticed many to move across the county line simply for the education benefit alone.  The town’s premier event, The Spot Festival, is held annually at Topsail High School certifying the claim that Hampstead is “the seafood capital of the Carolinas.”  The festival is hosted by the Hampstead Volunteer Fire Department and in support of the five schools in the Hampstead area.
