The St. James Area & Surrounding Communities
ST. JAMES, NC
Southport
A picturesque seaside town with charming shops, dining, and waterfront views.
Wilmington
A vibrant city rich with culture, arts, and historic riverfront living.
Each of these locations shares RiverBrook’s vision: homes that harmonize with their surroundings while celebrating life by the water.
A Lifestyle Defined by Coastal Access and Community Connection
Located on the Intracoastal Waterway, the St. James area blends natural beauty, privacy, and resort-style amenities. Here, residents enjoy access to a full-service marina, private beach club (St. James by the Sea), and miles of scenic walking and biking trails.
From sunrise tee times on multiple championship golf courses to dinners overlooking the marina, every day in St. James celebrates the spirit of coastal living.
Surrounding the community are some of North Carolina’s most desirable towns:
OUR STORY
Growing up in the Piedmont area of North Carolina, David Hopkins spent most summers with a tool belt framing and roofing homes. Homebuilding was a natural fit, as he followed in the footsteps of his father, uncle, and grandfather. These early experiences were instrumental in fostering a passion that ultimately led to a successful career in the industry and the creation of RiverBrook Builders.
Over the years, RiverBrook Builders has earned numerous awards and accolades, building a reputation for quality and trust across St. James, Southport, Wilmington, and beyond.
Each home reflects David’s commitment to authenticity, detail, and the belief that a home should tell its owner’s story.
RiverBrook’s award-winning portfolio showcases homes that range from coastal retreats to luxury estates, all designed with purpose, proportion, and heart.
