2. Build to rent: a 4 bed new build on city water and sewer with no HOA.
The property
A level 0.18 acre infill lot on a paved city street in Jenkins Heights, about five minutes from downtown Gastonia and I-85. It is the last open lot of three split from the same tract. The lot is wooded today and will need clearing.
The work that usually holds a builder up for months is already done. The taps are paid and in the ground, the survey is done, and the plan has already been shown to fit the lot. The 2025 permits expired before construction started, so the next owner reapplies with a plan the County and City have already approved once.

Good to know
The lot is a wedge, so the approved 20 ft wide plan sits a few feet behind the front setback; the City accepted that placement in 2025. A utility pole and guy wire sit near the front corner. The 2026 County tax card shows a house on this parcel in error and the seller is requesting a correction. The seller’s vacant land disclosure is available on request.
