Cureton Homes for Sale
Established 2002
Waxhaw's master-planned gated estate community
Cureton luxury homes anchor one of Waxhaw's largest master-planned gated estate communities — approximately 700 homes spanning custom estates, family-scale customs, and townhomes, with structural advantages of Marvin Ridge school zoning, an active swim-tennis amenity program, and the unusual feature of Cureton Town Center retail adjacency.
Cureton was master-planned in the early 2000s as one of southern Union County's first true mixed-use master plans — gated residential combined with a small adjacent town center (restaurants, services, professional offices). The result is a community where daily errands occur on foot or by short golf-cart trip from many estate sections.
Estate-tier Cureton inventory concentrates in the Highlands, Estates at Cureton, and Reserve sections — predominantly full-brick and brick-and-stucco transitional customs on 0.5–1+ acre lots. Mid-tier and townhome inventory occupies the community's interior sections.
Pricing across the estate sections ranges from $1.4M to $2.2M for mid-tier custom homes, $2.2M to $2.8M for larger principal residences, and $2.8M to $3M+ for bespoke renovated and principal estate customs.
