Gated Communities

Coastal NC Top Gated Communities

There are many gated communities throughout the coast of North Carolina, also known as the Silver Coast. These communities start in Wilmington, NC and extend all the way down through the southernmost tip of NC and to where the SC border begins near North Myrtle Beach.

Our collection of the top 10 gated communities in NC is based on our website traffic and internal sales data. We are listing them by the general list price of resale homes in order from most expensive community to least expensive.

While there are many other golf course communities in the area, these are among the best known and most sought after gated, golf communities. If you would like more information or a FREE gated community home package of information on any of these or other communities, please give Suzanne Polino a call at (910) 477-1378 and be sure to sign up for our FREE email alert service that will notify you the minute a new or resale home becomes available.
