New Residential Neighborhood of Blume Opening!
This autumn, M/I Homes opens a new residential neighborhood in Harrisburg, N.C. Beautiful farmland will blossom into Blume – 297 homes planned on 225 acres. This exciting new development, located at Rocky River Road and Hickory Ridge Road, will be built on land M/I Homes acquired from the Blume family. Thus, the new community’s namesake was born. The area’s history goes back to the 1700’s. Yet the town’s “modern on the move” mantra sets the scene for a wonderful environment of business, family and community. Though the town follows current trends, it still retains a wonderful rural heritage. The University of North Carolina – Charlotte is not far with all the opportunity for learning and activity there, too!
Besides the wonderful setting of the town itself, the community landscape makes this Blume site incredibly special. Nearly half the site where these gorgeous homes are to be built comes with a plan for permanent preservation as open space forever available to the future homeowners for maximum enjoyment!
Prices have yet to reach finalization, but a range from the $200s to the $500s is anticipated for the new Blume community homes. The rich history of the area and ties to the past reflect in the Blume community name. Tamara Lynch, M/I Homes of Charlotte Vice President of Sales and Marketing notes, “We decided to name the community Blume because it’s the last name of the family who owned the property.” Ms. Lynch added, “We’re planning to landscape the entrances and common open spaces with native blooming plants, keeping the rural feel that’s consistent throughout Harrisburg.” Walking trails, pool, playground and a cabana make Blume’s amenities some of the best and offer appeal to all future residents.
