Mallory Creek

Mallory Creek is a 55+ active adult community in Leland, near Wilmington, built by Del Webb, and the entire place feels like a neighborhood where folks can take part in social events, recreation, and outdoor activities when the mood strikes, and there's a big focus on keeping everyone active and independent, but there aren't any on-site healthcare, memory care, or nursing services, so people looking for those would have to find them outside the community, though nearby doctors and pharmacies make getting to appointments convenient. The homes here are new, low-maintenance ranch-style houses, and buyers can pick from 10 different floor plans, choosing between one- or two-story designs with two to four bedrooms, up to four bathrooms, and two or three-car garages, and most of the plans put the main bedroom right on the first floor, which helps folks who want to avoid stairs, and some homes have extras like a big gathering room or walk-in pantry, plus other spaces to use for hobbies, family visits, or just relaxing. Mallory Creek has a 20,000 square foot amenity center as the hub of activities with indoor and outdoor pools, a clubhouse for gatherings, a fitness center for exercise, pickleball courts, a dog park, and there's a lifestyle director who helps residents plan events and activities. Outdoor cafés and nearby parks give people more places to meet and spend time, and the area's set up for walking or small group activities. The community's designed for residents aged 55 and over who want a social, active lifestyle without the commitment of a continuing care or assisted living arrangement, and people own their homes here, purchasing from Del Webb, and can make service requests through a client portal if something in the house needs fixing. There's also extra support like a mortgage learning center, home care guide, and a blog that helps homeowners stay informed, plus a ten-year warranty and strong construction standards come with the houses for peace of mind. Overall, Mallory Creek suits people looking for a simple, active community near local services, with the privacy of their own home and resort-style features, but not those who want on-site caregiving or nursing help.
