Sunsets in Wilmington
shine a little brighter than most.

Along the banks of the Cape Fear River, just south of historic downtown Wilmington, lies the vibrant community of Riverlights. New Leaf Builders is proud to be a part of this exciting waterfront community, bringing our signature Charleston-style designs into North Carolina.

Only five homesites remain to build your New Leaf home in Riverlights. This is your last chance to pick your lot, choose your plan, and build the home you want in Wilmington's riverfront community on the Cape Fear River. Once these five are gone, they're gone.

Choose from 9 New Leaf home plans ranging from 1,573 to 2,545 square feet, each designed to fit the Riverlights streetscape while giving you the layout and features you want in a home today.

Every plan puts the outdoors first, with plenty of natural light and open, relaxing living spaces, finished with the high-quality fit and finish New Leaf is known for.
