Kings Grant is a neighborhood five miles north of Downtown Wilmington and about eight miles from the Atlantic coast. King’s Grant attracts residents for its central location and pleasant atmosphere. Renters have choices of modern apartments for rent. A few restaurants and businesses dot the community, but large retail centers lie just south of the neighborhood at the Highway 17 and 177 intersection. Just south of Kings Grant is the University of North Carolina Wilmington, making Kings Grant an ideal spot for students. The western border runs along the Wilmington International Airport, making travel accessible. Golf courses and community parks are scattered around Kings Grant and there are some just outside of the community too. The beaches a few miles east provide more outdoor recreation.

Its a tough place to find a job. Most people who visit want to stay, college grads tend to stay here after UNCW and its a smallish town with no suburbs to speak of. Opportunities are all about who you know in this town.
