What it’s like
The place. Belville is a small town in Brunswick County, North Carolina, with a younger population than many places that draw retirees. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and more homes are lived in by their owners than rented, though renting is common too. Winters are mild and short, summers are hot, and snow is rare while rain is plentiful through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Brunswick County, the largest workplaces include Brunswick County Schools, Brunswick Medical Center and Brunswick Community College. Commutes are of a moderate length, and a share of people work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away, Airlie Gardens is a botanical garden and Cameron Art Museum is a museum, and the Brunswick River is close by for time on the water. A longer drive brings you to Fort Fisher, a historic fort on the coast.
