Mattamy Homes and Gaston Business Association Celebrate New Community Opening in Gastonia
On October 22nd, 2025, the official opening of Westfall was celebrated with a festive ribbon-cutting ceremony co-hosted by Mattamy Homes and the Gaston Business Association (GBA) in Gastonia, North Carolina. The event welcomed local real estate professionals and community members, illustrating the vibrant growth occurring in the area.
Westfall is an exciting new community featuring a mix of townhomes and single-family residences that caters to the diverse needs of modern homeowners. Located just a stone's throw away from downtown Gastonia and Crowders Mountain, the community boasts a strategic position ideal for easy access to both urban conveniences and natural attractions.
During the event, guests enjoyed a catered lunch while experiencing the well-designed model homes on display, which include popular plans such as the single-family Redwood and Sequoia, as well as the Grifton and Shelby townhome designs. The two offerings available within the townhome collection are priced from the upper $200s and provide spacious options, including three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms across 1,767 to 1,783 square feet. These homes come equipped with two-car garages and the Grifton model additionally features first-floor bedrooms and an upstairs living area, making it suitable for various lifestyles.
For those in search of more expansive living, Westfall presents eight single-family home designs with starting prices in the upper $300s. These homes range from 1,882 to 3,197 square feet and include three to five bedrooms, along with two to four and a half bathrooms. Each plan showcases Mattamy's exceptional craftsmanship characterized by open-concept layouts, luxurious primary suites, well-appointed kitchens, and versatile loft spaces.
As residents settle into the community, they can look forward to indulging in the planned amenities, which will feature a swimming pool and a cabana for leisure and relaxation. For outdoor enthusiasts, Linwood Springs Park is located directly across the street and spans 150 acres. It encompasses playgrounds, sand volleyball courts, fishing ponds, a disc golf course, and a dog park. Additionally, there are plans for a ropes course and ziplines to further enhance recreational options.
Rich natural beauty can be enjoyed within the vicinity as well, with views of Crowders Mountain State Park and opportunities for hiking and picnicking just minutes away from Westfall. The community is conveniently situated near Interstate 85 and the junction of U.S. Routes 74 and 321, ensuring easy commutes to major employers around the region.
Moreover, residents can take advantage of Gastonia's lively shopping, dining, and entertainment scene, particularly in the Fuse District, while also enjoying educational institutions such as Gaston County Schools, charter and private schools, and colleges including Belmont Abbey and Gaston Community College.
In expressing his enthusiasm for the project, Mike Smedley, Director of Marketing for Mattamy's Charlotte Division, commented, "Westfall reflects Mattamy's investment in Gaston County's growth and our commitment to building thoughtfully designed communities that homebuyers will value." The dedication to quality living and accessibility underscores Mattamy Homes' role as North America's largest family-owned homebuilder, with a legacy of helping families realize their dream of homeownership for over 47 years.
The Gaston Business Association, which plays a vital role in the region's economic stimulation and ventures, also highlighted its commitment to fostering a vibrant local economy and innovative strategies for business growth.
