WILMINGTON NC PROS AND CONS LIVING IN 2020, What I love and Hate, Cost of Living, weather

[@realcoastallife]

Thank You for watching my video on Living in Wilmington NC Pros and Cons, What do you love about Wilmington?

[@christophernorris8002]

I love the people cause they’re nice and I’ve always wanted to relocate there for awhile now once I can obtain a decent paying job there..

[@realcoastallife]

@@christophernorris8002 I would be happy to assist you when you are ready buying your Wilmington home. Take care.

Great information! I am a photographer/videographer moving to the area next year. Thank you for taking the time to make the video!

Wait you think 84 degrees is too hot?

[@Blujonny11]

Love your accuracy of pros and cons. I would add a negative being traffic on certain days and certain times (like when the Cape Fear River bridge is up) because there are only about three main 'artery' roads that run through the entire area of Wilmington. Market street and College road can be pretty bad especially during 'commute' time. Maybe a second negative would be that at night time 'young people' completely 'flood' the downtown area on the weekends. And the beaches can get 'crazy' busy during the summer to where you're literally sitting just a few feet away from other people. As far as bugs, luckily I never saw many 'water bugs' when I lived there except a few near the riverfront. I did experience a lot of mosquitos and horseflies working near the more 'forest' areas. My friend's family had a terrible time with 'ants' getting inside their house though. The greatest thing about living in Wilmington is that it's really 'low stress' other than the traffic. People are very humble and non-judgmental there also.

[@realcoastallife]

Thank you for your detailed comments. I really appreciate your input. In my opinion the traffic in Wilmington is not that bad compared to other big cities such New York, LA, Washington DC, or even Charlotte/Raleigh but if you were born and raised in Wilmington and never lived in a big city, the traffic is nightmare, since I came from a big city, traffic is not too bad for me. There’s still a tons of pros and cons that I haven’t mentioned on the video because I wanted to keep the video short. Take care and stay safe. Erwina

@@realcoastallife Definitely. Yeah I've been stuck on I95 driving through NYC during rush hour. Wilmington totally pales in comparison to that ;)

Great video, thank you for the pros and cons really helpful. Thank you for sharing this.

[@donniedarko1345]

Wilmington and Tampa Florida are my two places I am now considering moving to. I'm here In San Diego where you pay about a million dollars a year just to rent (LOL). Looking at cost of living, politics, gun laws, recreation and business friendly states to move to. Wilmington is on my radar! Thanks for your video :)

[@realcoastallife]

Feel free to contact me if decide to move to Wilmington, I would be happy to assist you with your real estate need 😀

[@hable79]

Where did you move @DonnieDarko?

[@donniedarko1345]

@@hable79 I've landed on Asheville North Carolina. I'll be there this November.

[@hable79]

@@donniedarko1345 That's cool! What made you choose Asheville instead of Tampa, if I may ask?

[@christophernorris8002]

Are the jobs easy to find? Like Restaurant jobs? Transportation jobs??? I’m so ready to move to Wilmington

[@realcoastallife]

I won’t say easy, I suggest you to get a job before move to Wilmington. There are plenty of jobs in Restaurants but the income rate here is very low compared to other state.

[@savannalove7739]

Thanks for the insight! The music is a bit loud making it hard to hear your voice.

[@realcoastallife]

Hi Savanna, I apologize I will do better next time! You can turn the subtitle on if you like to. Please let me know if I can help you in anyway.

[@matt1315s]

What's the job market in Wilmington projected to look like? With covid 19 still around that's my big question.

[@linnettebracero2278]

Hello. My husband is thinking on accepting a position in Wilmington. Can you tell me a bit about renting an apartment near by the University please. We would like a 1 or 2 bedroom apta or house with amenities if possible.

[@theironforce3000]

Nice vid. Would love to see a Charlotte version though :)

[@realcoastallife]

Hey there! Thank you, we don’t specialize in Charlotte area, it’s about 4 hours away from Wilmington but if I go there I will definitely make videos 😀

[@josesepulveda205]

Not crazy about humidity but I think those pros definitely outweigh the cons

[@wiendalovell2840]

My husband and son will be move to Wilmington this summer

[@MoorenaEl]

If you live in a big metropolitan city like New York or Los Angeles...of course these cities have higher paying jobs because the cost of living will kick you in the pants. You cannot compare this con with these major cities because you are not taking into account of the cost of living and quality of life. People are DYING in Los Angeles due to the rents being unreasonable and the homeless populations hurting 60k+ people (im sure it's well over 60k since the pandemic). The cost of living in Wilmington i am sure is reasonable compared even though the pay is low in the city. COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skip the music,honey! It’s awful and who needs that crappy noise when you are talking about important issues, and trying to understand someone who is not a native speaker?

[@theadventurekidz-scienceho843]

HEAT??? HAHA...not like Texas.

[@realcoastallife]

I never been to Texas 😅. I know Florida is a lot hotter than Wilmington, but I have to mention it because we have many people from North moving to Wilmington 😀

[@jchdroid2]

TERRIBLE place to live! PLEASE consider other areas. You will hate it here, I promise. I'm doing everything I can to get out of Wilmington.

[@richardhanes7370]

You don't want anyone moving there 😂

[@MoorenaEl]

please explain! I want to know what I am getting myself into.

[@aggierowe9574]
