Benson Village is more than just a housing development; it's a burgeoning community nestled in the heart of a region that balances the charm of small-town living with the convenience and excitement of nearby urban amenities. This article delves into the features of Benson Village, the local amenities of downtown Benson, and the overall vibe of the area, showcasing why this community is an attractive option for potential homeowners.


Benson Village: A Community Designed for Modern Living

Benson Village, developed by True Homes, is setting a new standard for residential communities with its thoughtful design and attention to what modern families desire. Here are the highlights of this promising new community:


Spacious and Flexible Living Options

With 1/3 acre lot sizes, the community offers spaciousness that is rare in new developments today. The option to build homes with up to 3 floors and over 4,000 square feet of living space allows for a high degree of customization and flexibility. Whether it’s a cozy ranch or a more expansive three-story home, residents have the freedom to choose a plan that best fits their lifestyle.

Ample Amenities Within Reach

A community pool serves as a central gathering place for relaxation and recreation, fostering a sense of community among residents. The availability of 3-car garages in most plans caters to the needs and preferences of the modern homeowner, providing ample space for vehicles, storage, or a workshop.


Connectivity and Convenience

Unique to Benson Village is its connection to an existing neighborhood, allowing residents to easily walk or take a golf cart into downtown Benson. This feature not only enhances the sense of community but also provides convenient access to local amenities and events.


Investment Potential and Early Success

With 165 homes and sales just beginning, early buyers have a significant opportunity for equity growth. The fact that 10% of the neighborhood was sold before the grand opening event speaks volumes about the community’s appeal and the trust in True Homes as a developer.

Charlotte, NC (March 27, 2025) — True Homes is honored to partner with Lowe’s , Appalachian Service Project (ASP) , Kelly McArdle Construction , the Home Builders Association of Greater Charlotte , and a network of dedicated collaborators to support recovery efforts in rural Western North Carolina. This initiative aims to help rebuild homes and restore hope for communities still recovering from the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene. As part of Lowe’s unwavering commitment to helping communities in need, the company has announced a $2 million investment specifically to support rebuilding efforts in Western North Carolina. This brings Lowe’s total contribution to recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton to $14 million. Read Lowe's Press Release here → Six months after Hurricane Helene made landfall, the need remains. While progress continues in these resilient mountain communities, many families still face enormous challenges. That’s why this initiative matters so deeply. Through our True Foundation, True Homes is proud to support the construction of 20 temporary tiny homes—each one an essential sanctuary for individuals and families navigating tremendous loss. These thoughtfully designed homes offer not only shelter but dignity, comfort, and connection during the long road to recovery. Each tiny home measures 8 feet by 16 feet, is permanently mounted on wheels and can accommodate three to four individuals. They include a kitchen, bathroom, and two full-size beds, along with a curated selection of furnishings and décor—lamps, curtains, bedding, towels, and decorative accents—selected by Lowe’s design team. In addition, each home will be delivered with fresh greenery specially chosen to brighten the small space. The homes will be delivered, installed, and connected to electricity on each recipient’s homesite—allowing individuals and families to stay in their neighborhood and on their land while their permanent home is being rebuilt. “This partnership represents the heart of what we do,” said John Bain, Executive Partner of Supply Chain at True Homes. “Our valued Trade Partners and volunteers are showing up with both their hearts and their hands—constructing these units in a warehouse facility generously donated in uptown Charlotte. Together with ASP, we’re working to deliver them to rural Western North Carolina, where they’re needed most. We can’t even begin to express the gratitude we feel for everyone contributing to the success of this build.” With over 50 volunteers already signed up, the outpouring of support has been a powerful expression of our shared commitment to people and place. The homes are being built in a warehouse generously donated in Uptown Charlotte, and ASP will lead the delivery of these units to areas most in need. At True Homes, we are deeply humbled to be part of this life-changing effort—and remain committed to making More Life possible for every individual and every community we serve.
