Exciting New Homes Coming to Locust, North Carolina!
Hey there, Locust residents! Big things are happening in our charming little town. Excitement is in the air as M/I Homes Inc. has just announced its plans to build a new community right here in Stanly County. Can you believe it? They’ve just closed on an impressive 220 acres in our backyard, and they’re ready to kick off their journey with us!
Welcome to Amber Glen!
So, what’s this new project all about? Say hello to Amber Glen, where M/I Homes plans to develop 184 beautiful homes located at 504 N. Central Ave. The construction will start this month, and they are set to open up sales for these delightful abodes sometime in the first quarter of 2026. Mark your calendars, folks!
What can future homeowners expect? Well, the floor plans will be spacious, ranging from 2,735 to 3,613 square feet. You will have options for three to five bedrooms, with up to three-and-a-half bathrooms. Perfect for families looking to settle down in a serene and cozy environment!
Location, Location, Location!
Amber Glen’s prime location is just a mile away from local gems such as Locust City Park and Locust City Hall. George Schulmeyer, the area president of M/I Homes in Charlotte, expressed why they chose Locust: “We were attracted to the location because it offers a small-town sense of community with easy access to jobs and activities in Charlotte and other cities.”
And let’s be real, isn’t that what many of us are searching for? A place where we can enjoy the peacefulness of a rural setting while still having the hustle and bustle of the city at our fingertips? It gets even better; the area boasts shopping, restaurants, and healthcare services that have crafted a fantastic quality of life for its residents. Definitely a win-win!
M/I Homes is on Fire!
If you think this is the only feather in M/I Homes’ cap, think again! They are on a roll with a series of exciting projects across the region. Just last September, they purchased a 123.5-acre plot in Mooresville, which will feature 201 single-family homes along with 112 townhomes. But wait, there’s more! Back in June, they announced plans to roll out nearly 800 homes and townhomes in locations like Wingate, Gastonia, and York.
They even garnered approval in April to develop over 230 townhomes in Kannapolis on a site that was formerly owned by the well-known David Murdock’s Castle & Cooke. With M/I Homes’ investment in our area, it seems like the future is looking bright for both existing and future residents!
Why This Matters
This new development has the potential to transform the local landscape, attracting families who crave both community and modern living. With many people looking for new homes, Amber Glen could very well be the next hot spot for those wanting to lay down roots in a beautiful area. It’s all about creating that close-knit community vibe, while also providing easy access to everything you might need.
So, keep your eyes peeled, Locust! The arrival of Amber Glen could just be the beginning of a fantastic chapter for our town. Whether you’re a current resident or thinking about moving here, you won’t want to miss out on what’s coming!
