Altis at Serenity

Altis at Serenity is Tri Pointe Homes' first 55+ lifestyle brand community on the East Coast — and only the third Altis community nationwide. Announced in 2024 and officially grand-opened in July 2025, the neighborhood occupies roughly 220 acres inside Greenfield Communities' 550-acre master-planned Serenity development in Northwest Harnett County, just minutes from downtown Fuquay-Varina and easy drives to Raleigh, Holly Springs, Apex, and Cary. At buildout, Altis will add 425 homes to Serenity's planned total of roughly 1,257 residences. Tri Pointe offers nine distinct floorplans across three home collections — the Grove, the Pines, and the Meadows — ranging from 1,281 to 3,290 square feet, with 2 to 4 bedrooms, 2 to 4.5 baths, and two-bay garages. Architectural styles include Modern Farmhouse, Craftsman, and Cape Cod exteriors. Homes are built with energy-efficient systems, water-saving fixtures, smart temperature control, low-VOC materials, and whole-home mesh WiFi. The design program earned recognition from the NC Home Builders Association as Best Aging in Place Project. The community's lifestyle centerpiece is a private 55+ amenity center exclusive to Altis residents. Plans call for a resort-style pool, pickleball courts, a dog park, event lawns, a yoga studio, a state-of-the-art fitness center, catering kitchen and multi-purpose gathering rooms, and indoor-outdoor entertainment spaces. A full-time Lifestyle Director coordinates clubs, events, and activities designed to foster connection — the Altis brand pitches this as a 'new next' for active adults who want a resort-like enclave without giving up access to a multigenerational community. Because Altis sits inside the larger Serenity master plan, residents also enjoy Serenity's community-wide amenities at The Barnyard, anchored by the 3,700-square-foot Serenity Hall clubhouse. The Barnyard includes a Junior Olympic outdoor pool, a dog park, adventure playgrounds, outdoor yoga platforms, a hammock station, an event lawn, more than three miles of connected trails, and an old-fashioned Post Office where residents pick up their mail and chat with neighbors. Roughly 220 acres of preserved open space, gardens, and the winding Hector Creek run through the grounds, giving the community a tranquil, naturalistic feel. Location is one of Altis's strongest selling points. The community sits near the intersection of NC Highway 210 and Rawls Church Road, with I-540 and Highway 55 nearby for quick access to RDU International Airport (about 45 minutes), Research Triangle Park, and major healthcare networks. Downtown Fuquay-Varina is under 10 minutes away — with its two walkable historic districts (Fuquay and Varina) full of coffee shops, boutiques, breweries, restaurants, and galleries. Raven Rock State Park, 4,800+ acres of bluffs, hiking, and paddling along the Cape Fear River, is a 30-minute drive. Golfers have Bentwinds Country Club, 12 Oaks, and Devils Ridge Golf Club within easy reach. Construction began in 2025 and the community is actively selling from seven model homes at the on-site New Home Gallery. Prices start in the low $400Ks and run through the mid-$700Ks depending on collection and elevation. The HOA covers landscaping, amenity upkeep, and snow removal at approximately $245/month, with no CDD.
