Community Description:
As you turn onto Summer Rest Rd., just shy of crossing the Wrightsville Beach bridge, you immediately shift gears and slow down. Though the speed limit is 9mph, I am not referring to your car.
Summer Rest, in my opinion, is one of the very best locations in all of Wilmington. The name Summer Rest says it all. The gear shifting I am referring to is attitude. When you drive down Summer Rest, better yet, live in Summer Rest, you are reminded of why Wilmington NC is such a great place to live.
Life slows down in Summer Rest.
Homes in Summer Rest are nestled naturally underneath mature live oak trees with picturesque Spanish moss hanging from the limbs, gently swaying to the coastal breeze of the intracoastal waterway. Homes located on Summer Rest Rd. boast incomparable intracoastal views. Most of these homes have boat slips, giving easy access to a lazy day on the blue Atlantic waterways that embrace Wilmington’s mainland. Homes off of Summer Rest Rd. enjoy the tranquility of quiet enjoyment underneath the mature trees and lush landscaping.
At the end of Summer Rest Rd. is Summer Rest trail, a paved nature trail that meanders along one of Landfall’s walls. A nature’s retreat, Summer Rest trail leads to the business park where the Port City Chop House is located.
Speaking of restaurants, some of Wilmington’s finest restaurants are in walking distance from Summer Rest: Boca Bay, The Bridgetender, and Airlie Grille. The Dockside as well as the fine restaurants at Lumina Station are a very short drive away. Not to mention, Wrightsville Beach and the loop are a short bike ride away.
