Discover Hampstead
A Thriving Coastal Community
Hampstead is perfectly positioned between the historic charm of Wilmington and the welcoming shores of Topsail Island. Known for its award-winning schools, championship golf courses, and stunning Intracoastal Waterway views, Hampstead offers a serene suburban lifestyle with unparalleled access to coastal adventure. It’s a place where families plant roots, boaters find their paradise, and the pace of life feels just right.
The Hampstead Lifestyle & Amenities
Life in Hampstead is defined by its connection to the water and its friendly, active community. The Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) is the heart of the area, offering endless opportunities for boating, kayaking, and fishing. Several marinas, including the Topsail Marine & RV Park and Harbour Village Marina, provide easy access for a day on the water.
For beach lovers, the pristine sands of Surf City and Topsail Beach are just a short drive away. On land, Hampstead is a golfer's haven, boasting renowned courses like Olde Point Country Club and Ironclad Golf & Beer Garden.
Top-Rated Pender County Schools
One of the primary reasons families choose to move to Hampstead is its access to the highly-acclaimed Pender County School District. Schools like Topsail Elementary, Topsail Middle, and Topsail High School are consistently ranked among the best in the region, offering excellent academic and athletic programs that make this a premier destination for families.
While You Are Here
Hampstead blends small-town charm with easy water access. Tour Poplar Grove Plantation, a restored 1850s peanut plantation with a farmers market on weekends, grab a waterfront meal at one of the local spots along the Intracoastal, and launch a boat or kayak to explore the marsh creeks that make this stretch of coast a favorite for boaters. It's also a short drive to both Topsail's beaches and Wilmington.
