Lawson is a Waxhaw
neighborhood where construction began in 2005. Very popular with Union
County NC home buyers, several villages with four different builders were
mostly completed by 2009. After that construction slowed to just a few homes
with only ten new homes sold in 2011.

New construction is about to pick up again in Lawson. Lennar Homes has
purchased the remaining land in the community and will open three new villages
in 2012. Approximately 400 new homes will be built in these villages.
Two of the new Lawson villages will offer Lennar’s “Everything Included”
single family homes. Deer Meadows homes, 2200 to 3200 square feet in size, will
be priced from the low to mid-$200,000s. At St. Ives, purchasers will find
homes priced from the $270,000s to the low $300,000s. These homes will range in
size from 2700 to 3500 square feet.
The Southern Trail village will offer homes for active adults and seniors.
The ranch and master-down homes in this village will be priced from $212,000 to
the $270,000s. They will have between 1650 to 2800 square feet. The homeowners
association dues for this village will include lawn maintenance.

Discover Lawson, a Charlotte neighborhood where a third of the
community is preserved in natural common areas.

Lawson is a master-planned community with a history. Located in the Union
County NC town of Waxhaw
in Charlotte’s
southern region, Lawson was named for John Lawson, an English naturalist who
explored the ancient lands of the Waxhaw Indians. In 1701, he called the area
“Lower Providence, a land set apart.”
An evaluation of the land prior to development located a place called Five
Forks where five ancient roads met above a 19th century mill site called
Howard’s Mill. It’s believed that a small settlement thrived at Five Forks in
the mid-1700s. The ruins of Howard’s Mill and other archeological sites are
preserved in Lawson’s common areas.
When you drive through Lawson, you’ll see that the clubhouse has been
constructed to remind you of a mill with a working water wheel. The amenity
center with swimming pool is behind the clubhouse.
Built on over 500 acres of beautiful rolling wooded land, Lawson’s villages
are buffered by natural areas. Miles of walking and hiking trails meander
through the common areas that have been preserved.
Lawson has the perfect location along Cuthbertson Road. Union County’s
newest middle/high school complex is located adjacent to the neighborhood. A
short drive brings you to Providence Road where community shopping and a home
improvement store can be found. A few more miles and you’ll find historic
downtown Waxhaw with its quaint shops, restaurants, farmers market and community
festivals.
Lawson offers both resale homes and new homes. The current villages, started
in 2005, are nearly complete. Three new villages will open soon to offer new
single family homes and homes for active adults and seniors.
