New Construction in Union Park

As of July 2026, the clearest active new-home opportunities are Cachet Homes’ Retreat Collection and Aster at Union Park by Risewell Homes. The Ashton Woods, David Weekley Homes and K. Hovnanian Homes sections are completed or in final closeout.

Builder availability, incentives, pricing and completion schedules can change quickly. Buyers considering new construction should compare the builder’s base price with the actual cost of the lot, structural options, design selections, window coverings, landscaping and other items that may not be included.

It is also important to remember that the builder’s sales representative works for the builder. Buyers may bring their own real estate agent, but registration requirements often apply from the first visit.

New Construction Versus a Union Park Resale

Buyers who like the look and feel of new construction should also consider Union Park resale homes. Because the community is relatively young, many existing homes still feel nearly new, but the landscaping, window coverings and major design decisions may already be complete.

A resale also allows buyers to see the finished lot, neighboring homes and actual streetscape before making an offer. There may be no construction wait, and the final cost can be easier to evaluate because many of the improvements have already been installed.

The right choice depends on timing, preferred floor plan, lot location, builder incentives and how much a buyer wants to personalize after closing.

Townhomes and Rental Homes in Union Park

Pinnacle at Union Park is a completed townhome neighborhood offering an alternative to the community’s detached single-family homes.

BB Living at Union Park provides professionally managed three- and four-bedroom rental homes. These are rental residences rather than individually listed homes for sale, so buyers should not expect them to appear in the Union Park homes-for-sale search below.

The different housing types make it especially important to confirm whether a property is a detached home, townhome or professionally managed rental before comparing prices.

• Home size and number of stories
• Lot location and orientation
• Proximity to parks or community amenities
