Benson Village by True Homes: A New Community in the Heart of Benson

Benson Village is more than just a housing development; it's a burgeoning community nestled in the heart of a region that balances the charm of small-town living with the convenience and excitement of nearby urban amenities. This article delves into the features of Benson Village, the local amenities of downtown Benson, and the overall vibe of the area, showcasing why this community is an attractive option for potential homeowners.


Benson Village: A Community Designed for Modern Living

Benson Village, developed by True Homes, is setting a new standard for residential communities with its thoughtful design and attention to what modern families desire. Here are the highlights of this promising new community:


Spacious and Flexible Living Options

With 1/3 acre lot sizes, the community offers spaciousness that is rare in new developments today. The option to build homes with up to 3 floors and over 4,000 square feet of living space allows for a high degree of customization and flexibility. Whether it’s a cozy ranch or a more expansive three-story home, residents have the freedom to choose a plan that best fits their lifestyle.

Ample Amenities Within Reach

A community pool serves as a central gathering place for relaxation and recreation, fostering a sense of community among residents. The availability of 3-car garages in most plans caters to the needs and preferences of the modern homeowner, providing ample space for vehicles, storage, or a workshop.


Connectivity and Convenience

Unique to Benson Village is its connection to an existing neighborhood, allowing residents to easily walk or take a golf cart into downtown Benson. This feature not only enhances the sense of community but also provides convenient access to local amenities and events.


Investment Potential and Early Success

With 165 homes and sales just beginning, early buyers have a significant opportunity for equity growth. The fact that 10% of the neighborhood was sold before the grand opening event speaks volumes about the community’s appeal and the trust in True Homes as a developer.

Downtown Benson: A Hub of Local Culture and Amenities


Downtown Benson, with its array of local businesses and amenities, adds to the allure of Benson Village. Here’s a closer look at what the area has to offer:

Benson Little Theatre: Enriches the community with cultural productions, providing entertainment and a platform for local talent.

Broadslab Distillery: Showcases the region’s agricultural heritage through its "farm-to-bottle" spirits and offers a unique venue for events.

Where Small Town Meets Big Dreams


Benson, with its slogan “The Center of Attention,” truly lives up to its name. It's a town that prides itself on its welcoming community, strategic location, and the annual Mule Days celebration, an event that encapsulates the spirit of Benson by drawing thousands to celebrate its heritage and community life.


Strategic Location and Historical Charm

Positioned at the crossroads of I-40 and I-95, Benson enjoys a unique location that offers easy access to major cities and attractions. Its proximity to Raleigh, Wilmington, and the Triad makes it a strategic choice for those who appreciate both the tranquility of small-town living and the convenience of city life.
