Bakers Creek Townes is a Lennar townhome community in Kannapolis, North Carolina, in Cabarrus County. It sits on West 18th Street in the 28081 zip code, alongside the larger single-family community of the same name, and is actively selling as of August 2026.
Pricing is tight and low: recent availability has run $275,999 to $279,999, which makes this one of the least expensive new-construction options anywhere in the Charlotte metro’s northern ring.
Homes at Bakers Creek Townes
Two townhome floorplans are offered, both 1,485 square feet with three bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath:
- Aspen — from about $275,999
- Cedar — from about $279,999
At roughly $4,000 apart, the choice between them comes down to layout preference rather than budget. Walk both before deciding — on plans this similar, the difference that matters is usually where the stairs and the kitchen sit, and that is not obvious from a brochure.
Amenities
Residents share the Bakers Creek amenity plan: a future swimming pool, playground and picnic area. As with any community selling ahead of its amenities, confirm the delivery timeline in writing and check when dues begin.
Who It Fits
This is an entry-price community, and that shapes who it serves: first-time buyers, buyers relocating into the Charlotte metro who want to establish a foothold, and downsizers who want new construction without a yard.
Understand what a townhome is before you buy one. You share walls, you have an association, and exterior decisions are made collectively. In exchange you get a new home under $280,000 in a market where that number is disappearing. For the right buyer that trade is excellent; for someone who wants a workshop and a fenced acre it is entirely wrong.
