Where Community Comes to Life
A Beautiful Property in the Perfect Location
Location matters! WeBUILT Wilkes is situated on one of the most perfect pieces of property we could have ever imagined—a beautiful, peaceful setting that promotes independence while keeping residents connected to everything Wilkes and surrounding areas have to offer.
Located on Willow Lane in the West Park area of North Wilkesboro, N.C., our property is nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac next to the Yadkin River Greenway providing the perfect foundation for WeBUILT Wilkes—a location that balances privacy with accessibility perfectly.
"The project's being built in West Park on Willow Lane. It is past the Cooks Sporting Goods area. It's in the Greenway. It's a beautiful location."
— Tabitha Hudler
This property was intentionally selected because it offers:
- Natural beauty creating a peaceful environment that calms and inspires
- Sufficient space for eight triplex homes plus a community center
- Quiet setting away from heavy traffic
- Safe surroundings promoting independent mobility allowing residents to thrive
- Proximity to amenities without sacrificing tranquility
- Strategic location promoting both independence and connection
- Access to nature and community making daily life richer
Everything about this location says: You belong here. You're part of this community. This is home.
The Site Plan: Intentional Design
The physical design reinforces community. Eight triplex homes face inward toward a central community center, ensuring residents naturally encounter each other.
WeBUILT WILKES will be a gated walk-in community nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac next to the Yadkin River Greenway. Our community will feature eight triplex homes all arranged facing inward toward a centralized community center ("Party Barn") where everyone will meet for entertainment, activities and community gatherings.
This design is intentional:
- Beautifully landscaped grounds: Provide the perfect setting for gardens and water features
- High Quality Standards: Promote maximum energy efficiency and sustainability
- Promotes Natural Interaction: Residents naturally encounter neighbors coming and going
- Creates Visual Community: Looking out, you see other homes and the community center
- Balances Privacy and Connection: Your home is yours, but community is there when you want it

"It's going to allow for the kids to go in and out easily and in a safe environment. And so if they need to access something in town, then they have easy access."
— Tabitha Hudler
The goal isn't to create a separate world—it's full inclusion where residents of WeBUILT Wilkes are simply neighbors, coworkers, and friends throughout Wilkes County.

- Artificial turf and parking located outside the community
- Sensory-friendly lighting and materials
- Consistent routines creating predictability
- Individual control over personal space
