Discover Historic Waterfront & Retirement Properties in Southport NC

Welcome to Southport, NC – America’s Happiest Seaside Town & Historic Waterfront Gem

Southport homes for sale offer the perfect blend of historic charm, waterfront living, and modern convenience in Brunswick County’s picturesque seaside town. Known as “America’s Happiest Seaside Town” by Coastal Living magazine, Southport features tree-lined streets with centuries-old live oaks, a vibrant yacht basin, and the scenic Cape Fear River meeting the Atlantic. With its filming fame (movies like Safe Haven, A Walk to Remember, Crimes of the Heart), boutique shops, art galleries, and fresh seafood dining, Southport is ideal for retirees seeking a walkable downtown, riverfront properties, and easy access to beaches like Oak Island (10 min) and Bald Head Island (ferry). No high-rises here—just authentic Southern hospitality and low-key coastal retirement.

History and Community of Southport

Originally named Smithville in 1792 after Revolutionary War hero Benjamin Smith (former NC governor), the town served as a key river port and military site with Fort Johnston (built 1748, oldest in NC). Renamed Southport in 1887 to emphasize its shipping potential, it became Brunswick County’s seat until 1977. Incorporated with deep maritime roots—from pirates and pilots to Civil War blockade runners—Southport preserves its past through the NC Maritime Museum at Southport (in Fort Johnston officers’ quarters) and Old Smithville Burying Ground (1792, graves of soldiers and shipwreck victims). Today, with a year-round population of ~4,000 (median age ~60—strong active adult/retiree appeal), it swells with visitors for its historic district and events.

Key Landmarks: Fort Johnston-Southport Museum & Visitors Center, NC Maritime Museum at Southport, Old Brunswick County Jail (museum), Oak-lined downtown streets, Southport Yacht Basin & Provision Company (iconic waterfront dining/views).

Community:

Population: ~4,000
Proximity: 10 minutes to Oak Island beaches, 20 minutes to Shallotte shopping (Hobby Lobby, Ulta, Starbucks, Marshalls), 30 minutes to Wilmington NC (airport ILM, major healthcare like Novant Health), 40 minutes to Myrtle Beach SC (airport MYR, entertainment). Ferry to Bald Head Island (car-free luxury island).

Life in Southport: Historic Charm, Waterfront Recreation, and Cultural Vibes

Living in Southport means strolling oak-shaded streets to boutique shops, art galleries, and waterfront dining along the Yacht Basin—watching boats and ferries while enjoying fresh seafood. The Cape Fear River/ICW offers boating, kayaking, fishing charters, and sunset cruises, with public docks and marinas. Top neighborhoods include: Boiling Spring Lakes (lakeside/golf community ~$300K–$500K), Rivermist (riverfront gated luxury ~$600K–$1M+), and The Landing (waterfront townhomes/condos ~$400K–$700K). Enjoy mild weather (winter highs ~60°F, summer ~85°F), low crime, and events like the NC 4th of July Festival (state’s largest), Riverfest, Summer Concerts, and Christmas House Tour. Cultural perks include the Amuzu Theater (historic performances) and proximity to Bald Head Island ferry for day trips. It’s perfect for retirees wanting walkable history, river views, and no crowds—Hollywood’s favorite “small town” backdrop for good reason.

Taxes (Very Retiree-Friendly): Brunswick County rate: 34.20 cents per $100 valuation. Southport town adds approximately 15 cents per $100 (combined ~49.20 cents)—significantly lower than northern states, ideal for fixed-income retirement.

Other Fun Facts: Southport hosts the annual US Open King Mackerel Tournament, is a Tree City USA with massive live oaks, and features the Southport Wooden Boat Show celebrating maritime heritage. Its location at the Cape Fear River mouth makes it a pilot town with deep seafaring traditions.

Southport Real Estate Market

The Southport real estate market is steady and appealing for historic/coastal buyers, with a median home price of ~$450K–$550K (late 2025 data), offering value for waterfront and downtown proximity. Historic homes and riverfront properties range $600K–$1M+, while newer subdivisions start ~$350K–$600K. Demand is strong for retirement relocations and second homes, with moderate inventory and sales driven by walkable charm and filming fame. Popular types include Victorian restorations, river/ICW-view condos, and custom builds in gated neighborhoods—great for active adults seeking culture without island isolation.
