Topsail Island
An hour north of Wilmington, Surf City is in the heart of Topsail Island, in between Topsail Beach and North Topsail Beach, which is another one of North Carolina’s barrier islands separated from the mainland by the Intracoastal Waterway. From an old pirate hideout in the 1700s, to a missile testing site, Topsail Island and Surf City have become emerging vacation spots for people to visit, not just for the beautiful beaches, but the different historic sites, such as the Missiles and More Museum. In 2019 and 2020, there were only 10 and 6 houses sold, respectively, above $750K and by 2021 and 2022, that had increased to 31 and 70 houses.
