Fayetteville is set to transform its housing market, with plans for at least 700 new homes.
The development will include single-family homes, apartment complexes, and mixed-use spaces.
These new developments are set to reshape neighborhoods and offer more options for people looking to live in the area.
The need for more homes in Fayetteville is growing fast.
With major new projects like a $1 billion titanium plant, a new Amazon distribution center, and the Crown Event Center, the city is attracting new jobs and businesses.
As more people move to the area, the demand for housing has gone up.
But there aren’t enough homes to meet that demand, and rental prices are rising.
These upcoming developments are designed to provide the homes needed to support the city’s growing population.
The city’s Technical Review Committee (TRC) has been reviewing these housing projects to make sure they meet local regulations and community needs.
Let’s take a look at some of the major projects that will change the face of Fayetteville in the coming years.
The first project on the list is a subdivision on Ramsey Street.
Submitted for review on September 4, the plan includes a major development on 43.9 acres at 3818 Ramsey Street.
While we don’t know the exact number of homes yet, this project will add a lot of new single-family homes to the area.
Expect a variety of home sizes and designs to cater to different needs.
A few days later, on September 11, a plan for Skibo Road Townhomes was submitted.
This project will add 96 townhomes on 8.82 acres, located behind Home Depot and Burlington Coat Factory.
It’s a great spot for people who want to be close to shopping and major roads, so it’s perfect for anyone looking for convenience without sacrificing space.
Then, on September 18, the TRC reviewed Cameron Reserves, a smaller townhome project on 5.72 acres off Bunce Road.
The project will offer 24 townhomes and is a good option for people looking for affordable housing in a quieter, more suburban area.
Also, on September 18, the TRC looked at a very exciting project—Midtown at Coalition.
Set to be built on 16.72 acres at the Military Business Park, this mixed-use development will include 312 new residential units, retail shops, and Fayetteville’s first-ever food hall!
There will be plenty of space for restaurants, stores, and even entertainment, creating a lively community where people can live, eat, shop, and socialize all in one spot.
As the month continued, on October 2, the TRC reviewed a proposal for Pointe Grand Fayetteville-Cliffdale.
This development will bring 396 new multi-family units to 6565 Cliffdale Road on 23.45 acres.
The plan includes all kinds of amenities like a clubhouse, pool, fitness center, and pickleball courts.
With paved roads, plenty of parking, and sidewalks, Pointe Grand will be a great spot for families and anyone looking for a mix of convenience and comfort.
On October 9, the TRC also reviewed a project for The Landing on Andrews, which will create 168 new townhomes on 52 acres at Andrews Arbor Way.
It’s a great opportunity for anyone looking to live in the northern part of Fayetteville, with easy access to major roads and the growing amenities in the area.
A week later, on October 16, two more developments were presented.
The first was a pre-application for a single-family subdivision on 45.72 acres between Graham Road and Ancon Drive near South Raeford Road.
The second was for the Cedar Creek Road Subdivision, a smaller development on 13.56 acres with single-family homes.
Both projects will add new housing options to parts of Fayetteville that are in high demand.
The last major development reviewed was Greystone South on October 23.
This project will add 50 new homes on 29.88 acres at the end of Kimberwicke Drive near Ramsey Street.
It’s another opportunity to add homes to the northern side of Fayetteville, where demand for housing is rising.
With all these new developments, Fayetteville is doing its best to keep up with the rapid growth it’s experiencing.
However, even with more homes being built, the big question is: Will there be enough affordable housing?
Mayor Mitch Colvin has said the city is working hard to make sure there are more rental options available so landlords don’t have too much control over pricing.
The city is also pushing for higher wages to help people afford the homes being built.
In addition, the city has made the process of approving new developments easier with a new online system called EnerGov™.
This system is designed to help developers submit their plans and get approval faster, meaning these housing projects could move forward more quickly.
So, what does all this mean for Fayetteville’s future?
Simply put, a lot of change is coming.
Fayetteville’s growth means more choices, including suburban homes for tranquility and townhomes for those seeking convenience and activity.
With over 700 new homes being built, the city is preparing for more growth and working to meet the needs of its growing population.
It’s an exciting time to be in Fayetteville, and there’s no doubt that the city’s future is looking brighter.
