Demographics within a five-mile radius of Belle Meade boast some of the strongest numbers in New Hanover County. Currently, there are nearly 90,000 households with several thousand more to come on-line within the next 24-36 months due to the impending 1300-acre River Lights project being developed by Newland. Mean income averages are north of $69,000 per year. Belle Meade is located along Carolina Beach Road (Highway 421), one of Wilmington’s main arteries, with a daily car count exceeding 30,000. The interconnectivity of Highways 421,132 and Saint Andrews Drive allow residents from all adjacent neighborhoods easy access to the center with little or no impact of additional traffic on major thoroughfares.

The communities of Belle Meade Plantation, Cambridge Heights, Johnson Farms, The Arbors, Henderson Parke, The Lakes, Silva Terra, Georgetown, Carriage Hills, Ashley Park, Bexley, and Colonial Grand Apartments, among others are contiguous with Belle Meade Centre.
