Marvin, Waxhaw, Weddington and parts Matthews, the areas in Union County, are seeing a lot of growth despite the economic downturn. There are many new home communities being built and many shopping centers going up in the area.
Brookhaven, built by John Weiland, is a popular neighborhood in the area. The neighborhood is known for its' full brick homes and nice amenities. There is a large pool, a kids pool and slide, tennis courts and neighborhood clubs that will meet the needs of every family. The only downside to the neighborhood are the high voltage power lines, but they are far enough from the neighborhood that most home owners are not affected by them. John Weiland is offering a unique incentive to gaurantee home values where if you buy one of his new homes, you can have a 3rd party appraiser come out in 5 years from the date of the sell and if the home appraises for less than what you bought it for, he will write you a check for the difference.
Cureton is a 4 stage development that is being built in the area. M/I is building a great product in the neighborhood and is offering some great buyer incentives for upgrades or additions. Most of the homes offered by M/I come with $30,000 buyer incentives. This money is ussually used in this neighborhood for updated kitchens, extra hardwoods and screened porches. The neighborhood has more trees and the homes have more stone than in most neighborhoods in the area. One stage in the Cureton neighborhood, is offereing a New Orleans style home. These homes are being built by the Cunnane Group. This is the area of Cureton where the community pool is located. There are going to be walking trails between the 4 different stages in Cureton.
Lawson is a neighborhood just a little farther south and is popular for families that don't want to maintain a large yard. There are many families that live in the neighborhood, as the community offers a pool, tennis courts and walking trails. There are multiple builders in this community and each offers their own unique product.
The Chimneys at Marvin, built by Pulte Homes, is located almost directly across from Marvin Ridge High School and Marvin Ridge Middle School. The elemanty school, Sandy Ridge, is adjacent to the neighborhood. The community is split into two stages. There is the Estates and the Reserve. The lots in the Estates are farther off of the road and more wooded, thus more expensive.
All of these neighborhoods are receiving a lot of buyer traffic and it is really a personal preference to type of new community that you want to belong to. They are all very different.
