New Construction in Union County North Carolina

New Construction in Union County North Carolina

During the housing boom, Union County was the 5th fastest growing county in the country. The area couldn't be built fast enough. They were building a lot of new construction in the $400,000 and up price ranges. Several of the builders have pulled out since then but there is still a lot of new neighborhoods and a lot of great opportunities for buyers that want a large house within 30 - 45 minutes of downtown Charlotte. The area is very attractive to buyers because of the lower unincorporated tax rate (0.6650 in Union County as compared to the 1.0175 in Mecklenburg County).

The area has built several new outside strip malls throughout the northern part of Union County. If you take Providence Road and go south to I-485 you will see that they are also widening the road to become a four lane highway. Go just a little farther and you will begin to see the new strip malls and what use to be farm land being developed.

You can find new construction in several different subdivisions. Lawson is popular because of the amount of families that are living in the subdivision. They have great amenities that include a club house, pool, recreation area, tennis court and walking trails. Ryan, Pulte, Shea Homes, St. Lawrence and Orleans Homebuilders are still building in the subdivision.

Brookhaven is very popular and is being built by John Weiland. He has a great reputation for building a well built home and is easy to work with if you want to do some custom upgrades. The subdivision also has great amenities and clubs that the owners can join. The subdivision offers sport clubs that you can join and it has become a good way for people to meet their neighbors.

Hollister is a new community being built by Shea Homes. The subdivision currently has around 50 home owners and there will be 250 houses once the subdivision is completed.

Lake Forest is offering new construction by Orleans Homebuilders.

Cureton III has 2 houses on the market but M/I Builders have decided to put their project on hold...probably until the high end market starts to sell. They are currently holding about 30 lots and they have every intention of building on these lots...it is just a matter of time. One of the houses that they have for sale is the model. It has all of the upgrades that they offer and is listed for $398,860. This really is a great value for this house considering that the house across the street sold in the high 600's.

In Anklin Forrest you can find full brick houses around the $400,000 range being built by James Custom Homes and The Williams Company. The houses have great curb appeal and the subdivision has a lot of mature trees left on the lots. The inside of these houses have the craftsman feel that many buyers are attracted to.
