I have lived in this complex for a little over 6 months and I love it! I love the modern design, co-worker space, workout facilities, and all the events that happen throughout the year. The front office staff is extremely friendly and the maintenance team is always efficient with getting workorders fulfilled. The complex is also conveniently located between downtown Wilmington and Wrightsville beach. Highly recommend booking a tour if you are looking to move within the Wilmington area!

Like a 7 star Hotel
We could not say enough great things so far about The Helmsman. The staff is incredible and we are grateful to call this place our home, thanks specifically to Bethany - General Manager, Shawna and Morgan - Leasing Agent(s) and Tim-Maintenance Supervisor for quick fixes!
Classy environment, with first class service.
