New to Leland
We've been in Leland for almost 2 months now. We really like it here. We transplanted from Brevard County Florida, and we used to commute for everything at least 30 minutes! Leland is pretty nice. We are in a pretty nice area, and the hustle of Wilmington is just across the river. It is so nice to have everything so close by, within a 15 min drive. It's been 10 years of commuting, and now I feel that I never want to go back to that!
Traffic is a little iffy, at the usual am/pm rush hours. One thing we have noticed, is that smoking is still allowed here in restaurants. There has been a no-smoking ban in Florida for a few years, and for those of us who don't smoke, it was nice.
The High School here seems to be great. Daughter in 12th grade. People here are VERY friendly! Down in FL, it was far and few between to find someone who would smile, or wave to you as you drove by. Manners are a lost breed down there, but it's nice to see that it still exists here!
We also noticed that we are used to the fast pace of things in FL. In the restaurants, you would get your order within minutes of placing it. We've had to try to slow down our pace in Leland, as it takes at least 15-20 min before your food arrives. We will adjust!
We are very happy to have relocated to Leland NC! Haven't seen anything crime related yet.
