Encore at Streamside

Encore at Streamside is a 55+ active adult community in Waxhaw, North Carolina, developed by David Weekley Homes — the nation's largest privately-owned builder and the first to win the Triple Crown of American Home Building. The community is planned for 322 single-family homes built across two collections on a scenic site less than an hour south of Charlotte in Union County, just minutes from the South Carolina border. Homes are offered in two series designed to fit different lifestyles and budgets. The Classic Series sits on manageable 45-foot homesites with six floor plans ranging from about 1,602 to 2,420 square feet, priced from the high $480s to roughly $600K. The Tradition Series sits on wider 55-foot homesites with more expansive plans running 2,045 to 3,110 square feet, priced from the upper $570s into the $970s. Every plan features a primary-on-main layout, with optional lofts and second-story bonus space on select designs. Exteriors mix fiber cement, stone veneer, and complementary accents for a cohesive, contemporary streetscape. All homes include David Weekley's EnergySaver package and the builder's industry-leading warranty. Social life centers on The Landing, the community's clubhouse, which anchors an event lawn and gathering areas designed to foster connection. Outside, residents enjoy an outdoor pool with a sun patio, dedicated pickleball courts, a dog park, and walking trails that wind through natural greenspace and sidewalks connecting the neighborhood. An on-site Lifestyle Director coordinates clubs, classes, and events throughout the year, helping keep the social calendar full and giving new residents an easy on-ramp to meeting neighbors. Waxhaw itself is one of North Carolina's oldest towns, dating to the 1700s, and the historic downtown along South Main Street offers a walkable mix of restaurants, cafes, breweries, and eclectic local shops just minutes away. Everyday conveniences — Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens — are close by, and healthcare is well covered with Atrium Health Waxhaw, Novant Health Matthews Medical Center, and Novant Health Waxhaw all within easy reach. Golfers have their pick of nearby courses including The Club at Longview, Stonebridge Golf Club, and Firethorne Country Club, while nature lovers can explore Mineral Springs Park, Harvey Clay Nesbit Park, and Cane Creek Park. Charlotte's uptown entertainment, major sports venues, and Charlotte Douglas International Airport are all about an hour away, making Encore at Streamside a good fit for buyers who want a quiet, well-appointed small-town lifestyle with easy access to big-city amenities.
