Charlotte Parade of Homes Begins This Weekend—and Townes at Maxwell Has Something to Celebrate

By Austin Quick | Ivester Jackson Christie’s International Real Estate

If you’ve been curious about new construction in Huntersville and the greater Charlotte area, this weekend is a great opportunity to explore. The 2026 Charlotte Parade of Homes, presented by the Home Builders Association of Greater Charlotte, begins September 19–20 and continues September 26–27, with homes open 1–5 p.m. each day. Admission is free. Official event details

For our team at Townes at Maxwell, there’s an extra reason to celebrate: the community has won Excellent Layout of Floorplan. As someone involved in helping buyers discover these homes, I’m excited to share that recognition and invite you to experience the community in person.

What is the Parade of Homes?

Think of it as a chance to explore multiple new homes across the Charlotte region at your own pace. The Parade is a self-guided tour of participating homes in different communities, giving visitors a firsthand look at floorplans, finishes, craftsmanship, and design ideas.

You don’t have to be ready to buy to enjoy it. Whether you’re planning a move, comparing new construction options, or gathering inspiration for your own home, it’s an opportunity to see how different builders approach modern living. Participating properties include townhomes, decorated models, and a variety of other home styles. About the Charlotte Parade of Homes

Celebrating Excellent Layout of Floorplan at Townes at Maxwell

A floorplan shapes how you experience a home every day. It determines where you gather, how much privacy you have, how guests fit into the space, and whether the layout works with your routine.

That’s why this recognition is exciting to me. Beautiful finishes catch your attention, but a thoughtful layout is something you appreciate long after moving day.

The official Parade entry at Townes at Maxwell is the Laurel by Madison-Simmons Homes & Communities, featuring 2,358 square feet, three bedrooms, and three-and-a-half bathrooms. Its design includes three bedrooms with private bathrooms, a first-floor guest suite, an open living and entertaining area with a large kitchen island, a dedicated dining space, and a two-car garage. The primary suite also features a private balcony and dual closets. Explore the official Laurel entry

When you tour, take a moment to imagine your own routine: arriving home with groceries, hosting friends, having overnight guests, or enjoying a quiet morning. Those everyday moments are where a floorplan’s value becomes clear.
