Hawkins Meadows is a Meritage Homes community of new two-story townhomes in Spencer, North Carolina, in Rowan County. It sits at 1185 Rosetta Drive in the 28144 zip code and is actively selling as of August 2026, with only four homes remaining, all move-in ready.
Homes at Hawkins Meadows
Two floorplans are built here, both three-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhomes:
- Sapphire — about 1,530 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, from $239,380
- Amber — about 1,601 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, from $244,730
The community includes a playground and picnic area. Meritage is a multi-year ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year, and these homes are built with that energy-efficiency standard in mind — a real factor in ongoing utility costs, not just a marketing line.
Living in Spencer
Spencer sits immediately next to Salisbury, and buyers researching the area will see it referenced under both names depending on the source. It’s a small town with an outsized piece of railroad history — the NC Transportation Museum, built on the site of the old Southern Railway steam shops, sits right in town. From here it’s a short, direct run down I-85 toward Kannapolis, Concord, and Charlotte, which is the commuting draw Meritage’s own marketing leans on.
Who It Fits
Hawkins Meadows fits buyers who want a smaller, lower-maintenance townhome at a genuinely affordable price point — the high-$200s range is well under most new construction closer to Charlotte — and who don’t need a large yard or a long amenity list. With only four homes left, this is close to a last-chance situation rather than an early-phase opportunity; if the layout works, don’t expect to wait around and negotiate.
Schools Serving Hawkins Meadows
Hawkins Meadows falls within the North Rowan Elementary School attendance area, feeding to North Rowan Middle School and North Rowan High School. All three are Rowan-Salisbury Schools schools. Attendance boundaries are set by the district and can change, so confirm current assignments directly before relying on them.
