Southport is having a moment. Brunswick County is one of the fastest-growing corners of North Carolina, and Wallace Custom Homes is right in the middle of it, breaking ground on Waterway, our newest planned community along the Intracoastal Waterway.
We’ve spent 50 years and two generations building homes across Southeastern North Carolina, and Guild Quality’s independent client surveys back it up with a 99% satisfaction rate, one of the reasons Southport buyers are getting in early on Waterway.
New Construction in Southport, NC: Now Building at Waterway
Waterway is Wallace Custom Homes’ newest planned community, set along the Intracoastal Waterway just minutes from historic downtown Southport. Phase one alone will bring more than 160 homesites, with a marina, a boardwalk through the marsh, pocket parks, and an amenity center built for pickleball, tennis, and easy days by the pool. It’s early, which means now is the time to get in on the ground floor.
Wallace Custom Homes is also building Shoreline, a new community in southern Wilmington at the mouth of the Carolina Beach Inlet, an easy drive from Southport for buyers who want waterway access closer to town.
Southport pairs small-town charm with genuine waterfront living: a walkable historic downtown, direct water access, and the kind of amenities usually reserved for much bigger developments, a community pool, fitness center, pickleball and tennis courts, pocket parks, boardwalks, and a marina with boat slips. Brunswick County is one of the fastest-growing areas in the state right now, and Southport is at the center of it.
Half a Century of Coastal Craftsmanship
Southport is the newest chapter in a 50-year story. Wallace Custom Homes has built more than 500 homes across Southeastern North Carolina since 1976, earning the Guildmaster Award for Highest Distinction every year from 2022 through 2026, along with Gold, Silver, and Bronze honors from the Parade of Homes. Two generations in, the name on the contract still means the same thing it did on day one.
