The Raleigh lifestyle appeals to a lot of homebuyers. And many of them are leaning toward buying a new townhome instead of a single-family home, because of the many benefits. Combine the two advantages and you might be looking at new townhomes in Raleigh, NC. New Home Inc. has interesting options to consider as you do your new home search—and an affordable way to get a lower interest rate when you buy your new construction townhome from us.

The benefits of buying a townhome

Have you thought about the many advantages of living in a townhouse? Here are some important considerations.

No compromise on space

Don’t think about a townhome as an apartment or condominium. It’s more spacious. The rooms are sized as they would be in a single-family home. In fact, you can find townhouses that occupy the same square footage as many detached homes—and more. Do you want 3 or 4 bedrooms? A large kitchen? Outdoor living space? You don’t have to compromise on having the space you need and want when you choose to buy a townhouse.

When New Home Inc. was designing the floor plans for Springwood Townes, our community of new construction townhomes in Raleigh (in the popular suburb of Fuquay-Varina, NC), we developed designs that range from 1,706 to 2,268 square feet. In these new construction townhomes, you’ll enjoy all of the same features as a single-family home—a full-sized kitchen, open floor plan, flex space, storage space, large bedrooms, and the amenities of a modern home! If you want more windows, choose the end unit, which often comes with some extra square footage.

Lock and leave lifestyle

Buying a townhome frees you from some of the maintenance that is required when you own a single-family home. A townhouse is a multi-story home connected on one or two sides to other townhomes. You buy the home and the land it’s sitting on, just like a detached, single-family home.

But with a townhouse, the external maintenance is included in your homeowner’s association (HOA) fee, like it is with a condominium. You’re not responsible for exterior painting, lawn care, weeding, and roof repair. Your free time becomes freer!

This freedom is known as the “lock and leave lifestyle” because you can head out for a trip without worrying that you’ll come home to a messy yard. You don’t need to deal with hiring people to paint your home or fix your roof. Many homeowners love the combination of living in a spacious home without juggling the maintenance that comes with choosing this homestyle.

A neighborhood vibe

Buying one of the townhouses for sale in Raleigh and the surrounding towns puts you within a close knit community. Your homes are literally connected, so you see your neighbors frequently as you come and go. Residents tend to appreciate this friendly atmosphere, getting to know one another, and they look out for each other. It’s easy to find someone to keep an eye on your home when you’re away or to call on when you need a hand.

But this physical closeness doesn’t mean you give up your privacy. New Home Inc. builds every home with your comfort in mind. The shared walls are well insulated and thick enough so the sounds don’t filter through.

Great location

When a builder decides to develop a community of townhouses, they recognize that location is essential. A person who is choosing to buy a townhome wants convenience. They’re looking for easy access to amenities, major roadways, recreation, and activities—even within walking or biking distance. So, you’ll find that these neighborhoods of townhomes for sale near Raleigh are strategically situated to provide a high level of convenience to everything available throughout this vibrant region.

Explore the Raleigh suburbs

Raleigh is a great place to live, often ranked one of the best cities in the country! US News rated Raleigh as #6 on its list of “Best Places to Live in the US in 2024-2025”, among 150 cities.

The North Carolina capital is different from many urban areas. In spite of having a population of almost 500,000 residents—and being the third fastest growing big city in America—Raleigh manages to maintain the unique ambience of a Southern city. It has charm, friendliness, diversity in population and activities, and an accessibility that is hard to find in large US metros.

Still, looking for new townhomes in Raleigh, NC, could take you just beyond the city limits to Raleigh suburbs. Townhomes outside the city are more affordable. And with the ease of major roads feeding into Downtown Raleigh from the surrounding towns, you can live a short drive from anything you want to experience there.

One of the most popular and rapidly growing Raleigh suburbs is Fuquay-Varina, NC. This family-friendly town sits just 15 minutes south of Downtown Raleigh. You’ll enjoy an intriguing array of things to do in Fuquay-Varina, NC (including 2 separate and equally charming downtown districts), the small town atmosphere. Plus, with the quality of schools there, this town is worth a look!

Here’s a look at the latest amenities and innovations you get with your New Home Inc. townhome at Springwood Townes in Fuquay-Varina, NC.

• Protect your home deliveries with our unique Smart Door Delivery Center. The enclosed space sits between your front exterior door and the interior door. Deliveries can be securely placed here in this temperature-controlled space, which is protected by a smart door lock. The delivery person has the code to enter just this enclosed area. After they leave, the door locks itself.
• We also include a service pantry, what we call a “messy kitchen”. Adjacent to your kitchen, this separate room adds storage, prep, and clean-up space. Stash your small appliances and those things you don’t need to keep in your main kitchen. Set up a snack and beverage station so you can free up more space and reduce traffic in the kitchen. Add a small fridge and a sink to expand the function of your messy kitchen, keeping your real kitchen tidy and clean.
• You’ll also appreciate the value of having an oversized kitchen island. Not only do you have more workspace on top, but we’ve designed it with seating on 3 sides, not just 2, so you’ll have more flexibility for casual dining.
• Smart home automation is no longer a luxury in today’s homes. When you move into one of our new construction homes, you have a complete smart home automation package. Your home is equipped with a whole home network panel, smart home control panel, smart door lock for the front door, video doorbell, and smart thermostat.
• Flex space is a necessity in today’s homes, so New Home Inc. includes a flex room. Use it for whatever you need: a home office, study space, workout room, library, media center, yoga studio, extra playroom, or hobby studio, to name a few.
• Speaking of home office, do you want something close to the kitchen where you can multitask food prep with your other work? We’ve designed our floor plans to allow for a pocket office. Whether you use it for a family workspace or home office is up to you, but isn’t it nice to have it included as a choice?
• The drop zone is a space near your home’s entry where family members leave their grab-and-go stuff, like coats, shoes, and backpacks. Our home designs include a clutter-free drop zone with a built-in hall bench with cubbies.
• Another benefit of new construction is the updated cabling for today’s technology. At New Home Inc., we use CAT6 cabling in all of our homes, because it delivers the most reliable, robust connection throughout your home. No dead zones…anywhere!
• Thanks to our commitment to eco-friendly design and construction, you’ll save energy and money. The ecoSelect Home Efficiency Program certifies that your home is energy efficient. Your home’s energy consumption is reduced by the use of a high-performance building envelope, energy efficient lighting, high efficiency HVAC (heating and air conditioning), reduced water usage, and advanced air sealing.
• Indoor air quality is particularly important. Did you know that indoor air contains as much as 5 times more pollutants than what you breathe outside? We include a whole home air filtration system that reduces indoor air pollutants so you can all breathe easier…and healthier.

We buy down your interest rate

Are you wondering if now is the right time to buy a new home? Interest rates are preventing some people from reaping the rewards of homeownership. As part of our commitment to providing extreme value to homebuyers, New Home Inc. is currently offering a mortgage rate buydown program, so you can take advantage of buying a new home sooner than later.

We’ll pay the difference so qualified buyers can get a 30-year fixed rate mortgage for as low as 4.8%. With the rate buydown on new townhomes for sale, you pay less interest and a lower monthly mortgage payment. And you get this savings at no cost. New Home Inc. assumes the full cost of buying down the interest rate.

Build or buy

Now that you know you have the right location, the right townhome, and the right mortgage program, all you need to decide is whether you want to build the townhome or choose a new construction townhome that is move-in ready.
