Inside David Weekley's Townhomes at North Creek Village

There's a version of new construction around here that we've all driven past — the one where the trees came down first and the houses went up second, and the whole thing looks a little like a parking lot with landscaping. North Creek Village isn't that.
Tucked back off Highway 73 in Huntersville, this David Weekley Homes community has been quietly selling out for a little over two years, and the thing people keep saying when they turn down the entrance road is some version of I didn't know this was back here. Wooded home sites. A Publix and a new retail strip you can genuinely walk to. Greenway space. And, coming soon, a whole second phase with basement home sites and trails.
We sat down at the community with Mandy Noonan, Senior Sales Consultant with David Weekley, to talk through what's left, what's next, and what makes this pocket of Huntersville work — whether you're commuting to Charlotte, trading up from a townhome, or buying your first place and doing math on every dollar.
Here's what we learned.
North Creek Village sits in that sweet spot of the northern lake region where you're not really far from anything.
You're minutes from Birkdale Village, a short hop to Cornelius, Davidson, and Mooresville, and about 20 to 25 minutes from Charlotte on a normal day. But the detail Mandy pointed out is the one that actually matters when you're living it: the community sits between I-77 and I-85, with back roads connecting to Highway 73.
"You have options," she told us — and if you've ever sat on 77 watching a wreck clear at 5:15 on a Tuesday, you know exactly how much that's worth. Gridlock in one direction doesn't mean you're stuck for an hour. It means you take the other way.
Then there's the retail. The commercial component at the front of the community is newer and still filling in, but the anchor is a big, bright Publix, with restaurants, a nail salon, a vet, a groomer, and a gym rounding it out. Residents walk up. Some of them ride scooters up and bring their groceries back (which is a very specific kind of neighborhood charm you can't fake).
Add highly rated assigned schools and greenway access, and the location does something rare in fast-growing Huntersville: it gives you convenience without giving up the quiet.
The townhomes at North Creek Village don't live like townhomes, and that's the whole point.
David Weekley built 87 of them here, and Mandy says the feedback is consistent: buyers walk in and feel like they're in a single-family home. The floor plans go up to 2,400 square feet — big for a two-story townhome — with the kitchen on the main level, an open concept layout, and a large center island. No hauling groceries up three flights of stairs.
The real differentiator, though, is outside. Each townhome has a detached garage with a small courtyard backyard tucked between the home and the garage. You get a porch, a bit of privacy, and — let's be honest about the actual use case — a place for the dog.
Why it matters: For first-time buyers and downsizers alike, this is the product that's hardest to find around the lake. Most townhome inventory in our area asks you to trade square footage and outdoor space for the price point. This one doesn't, or at least doesn't as much.
Eleven townhomes remain as of our conversation. At the pace they've been moving, that number is a snapshot, not a promise.
We recorded this episode in the model — the McCroy — and it made the case better than we could.
Three thousand one hundred square feet, four bedrooms, four baths, so nearly everyone gets their own. Ten-foot ceilings on the main level with eight-foot doors, which is one of those specs that sounds technical until you walk in and realize why the room feels twice as open as the number suggests.
There's a guest suite downstairs, which solves the in-laws-are-visiting-for-eleven-days problem gracefully. There's a kitchen island that had both of us stopping mid-sentence. And upstairs, there's a balcony — an honest-to-goodness outdoor space on the second floor, which you almost never see in this segment.
The single-family homes here range from roughly 2,800 to 3,600 square feet, and many sit on wooded home sites. Mature trees on a new-construction lot are the kind of thing you can't buy later, and buyers here clearly know it.
Good news for anyone reading this too late: the McCroy is moving to Phase Two. David Weekley has made some tweaks and it'll likely carry a new name, but the plan that worked is coming back.
If Phase One is nearly sold out, Phase Two is where the story goes next.
Land development is underway right now — underground utilities, road work, the unglamorous stuff that has to happen before anything vertical does. Mandy is hopeful sales could open by the end of this year, with a brand-new model home to tour.
Here's the shape of it:
117 single-family home sites (no townhomes in this phase)
Basement home sites available — genuinely uncommon in this part of Huntersville
Pricing starting from the $700s, similar to where Phase One began, and likely climbing higher on the basement lots
Wooded home sites carrying through from Phase One
Walking trails planned to eventually connect to the Huntersville greenway system, including the Ramah Creek Greenway
That greenway connection doesn't have a firm timeline yet, and we'd rather tell you that honestly than let you plan your morning run around it. But if and when it lands, it turns a nice neighborhood into a genuinely connected one.
With 117 home sites, David Weekley will be building here for a while — which, for buyers, means time to think, and options as they release.
We taped this on July 1, the day a new incentive went live, so timing worked out.
It's called employee pricing, and the concept is simple: you get the same discount a David Weekley employee would. That's 7% of the purchase price, up to $40,000.
On a townhome in the $400s or $500s, 7% gets you close to that ceiling. That's not a rounding error — that's real money.
What we like about how it's structured is the flexibility. Buyers can:
Apply it directly to reduce the sales price
Route it through Grace Home Lending, the builder's preferred in-house lender, for an interest rate buydown or closing costs
Put it toward appliances — washer, dryer, fridge, blinds — to get closer to move-in ready
Mix and match across any of the above
That last one is the part that actually helps people. Cash to close is the wall most buyers hit right now, and letting a buyer decide whether their dollars work harder as a lower price, a lower rate, or a smaller check at the closing table is a meaningfully better deal than being told how to spend it.
Incentives change. Confirm current terms with Mandy before you build a spreadsheet around it.
Not every builder is glad to see a buyer's agent walk through the door. David Weekley is, and they put it in writing.
Every available home at North Creek Village is listed in the MLS, and the builder pays 3% of the purchase price to buyer's agents. Mandy was direct about it: they welcome agents, they depend on agents, and they want them bringing buyers.
For those of us on the agent side of the table, that matters. It means our clients aren't penalized for having representation, and it means the process — from contract through walkthrough — tends to be a lot smoother than the alternative.
Huntersville is growing fast, and it's fair to be a little tired of hearing that. But there's a difference between growth that flattens a place and growth that adds something to it, and North Creek Village — trees intact, Publix walkable, greenway on the way — lands on the right side of that line.
Phase One is down to one single-family home and a handful of townhomes. Phase Two is coming. Summer is the right time to walk it, before the leaves come off those wooded home sites and you have to imagine the shade instead of standing in it.
Go see it, bring your agent, and tell Mandy we sent you.
