There is a lot of buzz in the Charlotte area about new townhome communities. Townhomes have long been popular for their ease of maintenance, convenience, and amenities. Townhomes are particularly attractive as an entry point into a popular neighborhood. They are great for young professionals, families, and older buyers looking to downsize.

Lets face it, Uptown can be expensive. Many people are looking for a home farther out of town with the feel of Uptown. Townhomes can be attractive for a village feel. Many are in walkable areas with shopping, dining, fitness, and entertainment right outside your door.

Another reason people love townhomes is exterior maintenance and plant care is usually included in the Homeowners Association fees. This is particularly great for people with busy lifestyles.

Townhomes are also attractive due to amenities. Many of the newer townhome communities have gyms, pools, clubhouses, dog parks and more. The Charlotte area has many options for townhomes, and there are many more new projects on the horizon.

One of the new projects that has garnered much early interest is David Weekly Homes’ project in Waverly. There are reportedly hundreds of people interested in the 75 townhome units. Twenty-five units are currently under construction with expected completion of phase one in April. Phases two and three, with the remaining 50 units, will follow later. Expect prices to range between the high $300,000’s to the high $400,000’s.

Another development we are excited about is one by Barringer & Smith and Alan Simonini Homes in South End. If their zoning change comes through, they have proposed developing 18 townhomes on a .7 acre property on West Tremont Avenue between South Tryon and Hawkins Streets. City Council will vote soon on the zoning change from industrial use.

A third project we are excited about is one by Capital Land Partners. They are working on a rezoning petition to develop 29 townhomes on a 3 acre site near Selwyn Avenue and Runnymede Lane. Units here should be 4-story with an optional roof terrace. Each unit is expected to have a 2 car garage and 400 square feet of private open space.

The biggest challenge right now in Charlotte is lack of supply. There are many projects in the works, from zoning to building, but they are not ready yet. These are just some of the many townhome projects in the area. If you are interested in a Townhome in the Charlotte area, new or existing, call us at (704) 525-4045.
