Demand for Townhomes Grows in the Queen City

New townhome projects are proposed for two sites in South Charlotte. The Charlotte Business Journal reported this week that sites at South Tryon and Beam Road, and a parcel in SouthPark on Sharon Road that currently has Holy Covenant United Church of Christ are in the works to be converted into townhome complexes. BNA Homes has proposed a development with as many as 127 townhomes on the South Tryon site. NVR Inc. has proposed 24 townhomes for the SouthPark site.

Demand for townhomes has grown greatly with many townhome communities from Uptown Charlotte and throughout the major transit corridors. Townhomes are attractive to young professionals as there are numerous amenities and locations are usually close to transit or to walkable areas. They are increasingly becoming attractive for older people as they downsize after children leave the home.

Townhome living can have many advantages for a busy person as they usually have most or all exterior maintenance and yard work taken care of by a Homeowners Association. Many townhome communities include fitness facilities, pools, clubhouses, dog parks, and walking trails. Demand for upscale living has increased the need for luxury features such as granite, wood floors, stainless appliances, built-in surround sound, and garden tubs.

Charlotte has many existing townhome communities in and around NoDa, Uptown, Plaza Midwood, SouthPark, South End, Pineville, Matthews, and many more. There are also newly proposed developments to be built in Plaza Midwood, and NoDa.
