Summerlyn Village is a master-planned Lennar community in Kannapolis, North Carolina, in Cabarrus County. It sits on Dusty Orchard Road in the 28081 zip code and is actively selling as of August 2026, from the mid $400,000s.
This is Lennar’s move-up product in Kannapolis. Where Bakers Creek starts in the high $200,000s and the townhomes start under $280,000, Summerlyn Village begins around $455,000 — a different buyer entirely, in the same city.
Homes at Summerlyn Village
The community offers spacious single-family designs alongside townhomes, sold through Lennar’s Enclave collection from about $454,999. Recent availability has included homes from roughly $458,000 to $563,000, at sizes from about 2,158 to 3,272 square feet with four and five bedrooms.
At the upper end you are looking at genuinely large houses — over 3,200 square feet with four full baths — which is a size that is otherwise hard to buy new anywhere near this price in the northern Charlotte metro.
Resort-Style Amenities
Summerlyn Village is built around a clubhouse, with a swimming pool, a playground and walking trails through the community. This is the amenity package that justifies the price gap against the other Kannapolis communities, and it is the thing to evaluate honestly on a tour: amenities are funded by your dues in perpetuity, so they should be things your household will genuinely use.
Living in Kannapolis
Downtown Kannapolis is about three miles away, rebuilt over the past decade around the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers ballpark and the North Carolina Research Campus. Charlotte and Concord are both within twelve miles, putting Concord Mills, Charlotte Motor Speedway and the full range of metro employment within an easy drive.
Summerlyn Village is on the Cabarrus side of the county line that runs through Kannapolis, which determines county taxes and services.
Who It Fits
This community suits move-up buyers who want space and a full amenity package, and households relocating into the Charlotte metro at a price point that would buy considerably less closer to the city.
If you want the location without the dues and the clubhouse, Bakers Creek a few minutes away delivers the same city at a much lower entry price. That is a real choice worth making deliberately rather than by default.

Summerlyn Village falls within the Fred Wilson Elementary School attendance area, feeding to Kannapolis Middle School and A.L. Brown High School. All three are Kannapolis City Schools schools.
