Disney Unveils Asteria: A Storyliving Community in the Heart of North Carolina
Ground has officially broken on Asteria, Disney’s newest Storyliving community, set within the expansive 8,500-acre Chatham Park development in Pittsboro, North Carolina.

Covering 1,500 acres, the community will include over 4,000 upscale homes, scenic parks, luxury amenities, and year-round events designed to foster connection and creativity. Located just 30 minutes from downtown Raleigh, Asteria offers a balance of natural beauty, innovation, and the warmth of Southern living.

Why Pittsboro?
Pittsboro is part of North Carolina’s thriving Triangle region—home to top universities, a strong tech economy, and a reputation for blending modern growth with Southern charm. By partnering with Chatham Park’s developers, Disney is tapping into a region that’s both rapidly expanding and rich in community spirit.
Asteria will offer neighborhoods for all stages of life, from family-friendly streets to age-restricted areas, making it a true multi-generational community.
From Cotino to Asteria
Following the debut of Cotino in Rancho Mirage, California—featuring nearly 2,000 homes, a swimmable lagoon, and themed amenities—Asteria represents Disney’s next step in bringing immersive storytelling into residential living, this time tailored to the East Coast’s natural beauty.
Looking Ahead
Homes in Asteria are set to hit the market in 2027, starting in the low $2 millions. With its thoughtful design, scenic setting, and signature Disney touch, Asteria is poised to become one of North Carolina’s most distinctive communities, turning the idea of “home” into a living story.
