The Pine Valley community in Wilmington, North Carolina has seen explosive growth in the last five years. With the arrival of a nearby multi-use development, The Pointe At Barclay, this bedroom community full of neighborhoods among mature pine trees has a movie theater, restaurants, and grocery stores.
Because of this, Pine Valley combines the best New Hanover County has to offer with beaches, shopping and downtown all in a 15-minute radius.
Here are some of our favorite things around the Pine Valley community:
Go Play:
Find one of Wilmington’s best parks — Long Leaf Park — nearby with a splash pad, miles of shaded walking trails, playgrounds, and more.
Halyburton Park sits to the south of this community. This 58-acre park is mostly undeveloped and includes a nature center, walking, and biking trails, and a playground.
Pine Valley Country Club offers up golf and social events year-round.
This community is also home to a beautifully-designed new branch of the county library.
To Eat:
The only Krispy Kreme in all of Wilmington is in Pine Valley. See the neon “hot and fresh” sign on? That is the Batman signal to donut lovers that a big batch just came out from frying and glazing. Go ahead and pull through — you won’t regret it.
Donning the community’s namesake, Pine Valley Market has some of this community’s best food staples. From take-and-bake comfort foods to cafe sandwiches and soups, be sure to check out this catering company and restaurant.
