Tucked along the scenic shores of the Cape Fear River, Riverlights isn’t just a neighborhood—it’s a lifestyle. From the moment you step foot into this vibrant coastal community, you’ll feel it: that perfect mix of relaxation and energy, where every detail is designed to make life a little brighter (and a lot more fun).
Let’s start at the heart of it all—Marina Village. This waterfront hub is where neighbors become friends, and good times are always on the calendar. You’ll find charming boutiques, crave-worthy restaurants like Smoke on the Water, and local favorites like Southern Shores Craft Beer & Wine, where a glass of something cold is never far away.
Just a short stroll away is the Lake House, a community clubhouse where you can break a sweat in the fitness center, shoot some pool, or soak up the sun by the stunning lakeside pool—complete with a twisty water slide and front-row views of a sparkling 38-acre lake.
But what really sets Riverlights apart is how seamlessly it blends nature into everyday life. Picture this: morning walks under a canopy of oaks at Live Oak Commons, where the weekly farmers market, live music, and outdoor yoga sessions bring everyone together. Or quiet moments along the trails and boardwalks that wind through lush parks, peaceful wetlands, and riverside paths with views you’ll want to pause for.
At Riverlights, the best parts of coastal living aren’t saved for vacation—they’re part of your every day. Whether you're looking for connection, convenience, or just a beautiful place to call home, Riverlights is ready when you are.
