Get ready to step inside The Townes at NoVi, a new neighborhood of deluxe two-story townhomes in Pittsboro, NC.

Mark your calendar: the model home grand opening is Saturday, Sept. 13, with sales kicking off soon after.

Part of the 8,500-acre Chatham Park community, these high-end spaces connect homeowners to walkable villages of restaurants, entertainment, bike paths, and natural parks along the Haw River.

  • Play and exercise at the brand-new YMCA across the street
  • Stroll scenic trails and greenways that connect to nearby pickleball courts

Psst: Never heard of live-work-play-learn living? Discover the many perks of a Planned Community lifestyle.
