Excellent location

Encore sits just minutes from Pittsboro’s charming courthouse circle, the boutiques of Chapel Hill, and the nature trails around Jordan Lake. Quick connections via US-64 and US-501 put world-class universities, health-care centers, and Triangle employers within an easy drive—so you can enjoy small-town ease without giving up big-city convenience.

Historic communities

Chatham County is one of North Carolina’s oldest counties, and its laid-back towns still showcase 18th- and 19th-century storefronts, art galleries, and farm-to-table eateries. Encore’s own clubhouse, walking paths, and neighborhood greenway tie into that heritage by spotlighting native landscaping and gathering spaces that encourage neighbor-to-neighbor connections.

Beautiful homes

Encore’s single-level villas and ranch designs are purpose-built for active adults: open floor plans, generous front porches, zero-entry showers, and energy-efficient construction come standard. Thoughtful touches—like flex rooms for hobbies, smart-home technology, and optional screened patios—let you right-size without compromising on comfort or craftsmanship.
