When To Start Searching For Wilmington, NC Apartments & Houses
If you’re a student hoping to get out of those dorms next fall and into a house or apartment near UNCW, you’re going to want to begin your search for a new home starting right after you come back from winter break. For those looking for a UNCW apartment or house with two or more bedrooms, definitely get moving on signing a lease as quickly as you can, but a good rule of thumb is to get a place locked down before May, no matter what size unit you’re trying to find.
