Encore at Streamside
A 55+ active-adult enclave with clubhouse, pool, pond, and low-maintenance living.
Encore at Streamside is Waxhaw's answer to a question the corridor has been asked for a decade: where do longtime Union County homeowners go when 4,500 square feet and two acres stop making sense? David Weekley's active-adult series delivers single-level living with the primary suite, laundry, and living space all on one floor, wrapped inside an age-restricted community with a clubhouse, pool, pond, and trail network. The appeal is not just the floor plan — it is staying inside the same ZIP code, the same church, and the same restaurant rotation while shedding the mower and the staircase. Because the community is age-restricted, at least one resident per household must meet the published minimum age; confirm the exact restriction language in the recorded covenants.
Mornings on the trail loop, afternoons at the clubhouse, and a five-minute drive to downtown Waxhaw for dinner. Residents are overwhelmingly downsizing locals and out-of-state retirees drawn by North Carolina's climate and Union County's medical access.
Encore at Streamside serves a search intent the corridor is otherwise short on: lower-maintenance living within the Waxhaw area, rather than acreage. Buyers searching it are frequently downsizing locally or relocating without wanting land to manage.
In maintenance-provided communities, the exact scope of what the association covers is the whole question — landscaping, exterior components, roofs, insurance boundaries and reserve responsibility all vary. Read the declaration's maintenance matrix and the current insurance certificate before comparing dues to a conventional subdivision.
