Lawson Homes for Sale
Established 2014
Waxhaw's apex master-planned family estate community
Lawson luxury homes anchor Waxhaw's apex family-relocation address — a large master-planned community of approximately 1,500 custom and semi-custom homes distinguished by resort-scale amenity programming, Cuthbertson school zoning, and the largest active relocation pipeline in southern Union County.
Lawson was master-planned in 2014 by Mattamy Homes as Waxhaw's first true resort-amenity community — built around an event-scale clubhouse, multi-pool aquatics complex, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, and a programmed social calendar. The community's structural draw is the combination of amenity, schools (Cuthbertson cluster), and a price band that opens Waxhaw luxury at the $1M entry point.
Inventory ranges from established 2015–2019 builds in the early sections to current-cycle 2022+ semi-custom and custom homes in the newest sections. The community supports a meaningful range of floor plans, allowing principal families to choose between traditional brick estates, refined farmhouse customs, and modern transitional new construction.
Pricing reflects the breadth and the amenity. Earlier-cycle Lawson homes range from $1M to $1.4M. Mid-tier custom and semi-custom inventory ranges from $1.4M to $1.8M. The strongest current-cycle principal estates clear $1.8M–$2.2M+, with several recent transactions clearing higher full-market.

Living in Lawson
Daily life at Lawson orbits the amenity. The community supports junior swim teams, adult tennis and pickleball leagues, fitness programming, holiday social calendars, and a structural community life beyond the lot — uncommon at this price band in Union County.
Cuthbertson school zoning is the structural schools premium — consistently among Union County's strongest non-Marvin Ridge clusters.
Charlotte access via NC-16 / Providence Road — Uptown roughly 40–45 minutes off-peak. Stonecrest retail 10–15 minutes north.
