About Hampstead, North Carolina

Hampstead is Pender County's most populated area despite its status as an unincorporated community. It prides itself on being the "seafood capital of the Carolinas", a friendly pride that is evident from their large welcome sign and the various seafood-related seasonal festivals.

Enviable Location

Hampstead has a truly enviable location on many fronts. It is nestled between two major coastal cities – Jacksonville and Wilmington – and in the bosom of beautiful beach communities in Topsail Island. The verdant woodlands contrast nicely with the spectacular beach scenery.

The Hampstead community is situated around US Highway 17. This makes Hampstead easily accessible to other nearby towns and cities. There's little wonder why the real estate market — that Treasure Realty knows well — is absolutely booming here.

Maritime Traditions

Hampstead was once a collection of sleepy fishing villages. The influx of fishermen attracted to the area's rich maritime harvest ushered in a boom in real estate that continues to this day. The best thing about the community, nonetheless, is that it has successfully avoided being yet another tourist trap; the vibe is still reminiscent of small town America but with the amenities and facilities of a modern lifestyle.

Every year, the residents of Hampstead celebrate their maritime history via the North Carolina Spot Festival. Make plans to enjoy the family fun and live entertainment of this festival, traditionally held the last weekend in September.
