Custom Home Cost in Charlotte by Area

The most common question we hear is what a custom home costs to build in Charlotte. The honest answer is a range, and the biggest swings come from the lot, the design and the finishes, not the neighborhood name. Typical range

For the luxury custom homes we build, construction typically runs from about $400 to $800 or more per square foot, not including land. Every home is priced on its own drawings, so treat this as a starting point only. Our cost calculator gives a quicker estimate for your size and style. Charlotte and Myers Park

In-town lots in Myers Park and Eastover often mean tearing down an existing home, protecting mature trees, working on tight sites and meeting city requirements. Those steps add cost before the new foundation is poured. SouthPark

SouthPark lots vary widely. Some are flat and simple; others need retaining walls or careful drainage. Site work is where two similar homes can differ the most. Weddington and Marvin

Larger lots in Weddington and Marvin often need longer driveways, wells or septic in some cases, and more landscaping. Homes here also tend to include pools, guest houses and outdoor living, which add to the total.
