A national homebuilder is about to test how hungry Harnett County buyers are for new construction under $300,000. Dream Finders Homes is rolling out Travolina Pines, a 94-lot community in Cameron that will be priced in the upper $200s, meaning many of the houses are expected to list below $300,000. That kind of price point is a rarity for new single-family homes anywhere near the Triangle’s core markets. For buyers who have been priced out of Raleigh and Cary, the project could feel like a long-awaited release valve.
As reported by the Triangle Business Journal, the Florida-based builder plans 94 homes in Travolina Pines, all expected to come in under the $300,000 mark. The outlet frames the neighborhood as part of a growing wave of subdivisions pushing value-oriented development deeper into exurban Harnett County.
According to Dream Finders Homes, Travolina Pines will include 94 homesites that average roughly a half-acre, with floor plans ranging from about 1,725 to 2,435 square feet. The builder is advertising "From the Upper $200s" pricing and highlighting several of its Dream Series plans, including the Embark, Intrigue, Freelance, Wayfare and Prelude models.
What Travolina Pines Will Offer
Buyers can expect wooded homesites, cul-de-sacs and larger yards than many infill options closer to the Triangle, along with the builder’s standard Dream Series interior layouts. Homes.com and other listing platforms currently show Travolina Pines as "coming soon" and echo the builder’s pricing guidance.
Why Builders Are Targeting Harnett County
Harnett County has been quietly setting the table for more rooftops. Recent planning efforts have focused on how to manage incoming growth, and the county’s long-range update lays out village-scale development patterns and infrastructure priorities. The Horizons 2040 plan spells out that framework, while ongoing coverage in the Triangle Business Journal has tracked nearby projects that cater to buyers looking for more house for less cash outside Wake County.
Next Steps For Buyers And The Community
For now, interested buyers are being funneled to the interest list while lot releases and model home timing get nailed down. Dream Finders Homes hosts the sign-up form on its Travolina Pines community page, which is expected to serve as the main hub for updates. Over on Zillow, the neighborhood listing notes that a model home was anticipated to open in April or May.
