Convenient and sought after communities
Since its inception in the late 1990s, Baxter Village has developed into a sought-after master-planned community in the Charlotte suburbs. Between homes with spacious front porches, two community centers and a walkable stretch of shops and restaurants, Baxter Village was designed for neighborly living. The neighborhood’s wide range of home prices makes it an inviting community for many. Further drawing homebuyers is its placement within the acclaimed Fort Mill School District, which operates an elementary school within the community. Near-immediate access to Interstate 77 offers a quick commute to Uptown Charlotte. Meanwhile, locals are even closer to waterside delights on Lake Wylie and the Catawba River.
Homes made for "front porch-sitting"
Baxter Village sits immediately west of Fort Mill, South Carolina’s town limits. It’s filled with nearly 1,500 single-family homes, townhouses and condos on relatively small lots, many with rear garages and driveways. “In many communities, people are looking for big backyards. Well, this is much more of a front porch-sitting neighborhood. People play in the neighborhood’s pocket parks, not their backyards,” says Realtor Ben Lastra of Compass Realty. Lastra’s team, the Andy Bovender Team, has specialized in Baxter Village since the neighborhood’s beginnings. Classic American architecture appears throughout, including Colonial, Craftsman and American Foursquare designs, plus the occasional Tudor. Custom-built Millennial Mansions populate what Lastra calls the “River District,” carrying the neighborhood’s highest price tags. A five-bedroom, nearly 5,000-square-foot property with a pool and a semi-attached clubhouse could approach $2 million. Townhouses offer the lowest price points, with two-bedroom models starting in the low $300,000s.

Maximize Fort Mill outdoor time
Springmaid Park, one of the many pocket parks Lastra mentioned, sits in front of Fish Market, offering benches and bistro-style seating around a pleasant fountain and beneath shady trees. Those who like to take in nature while on the move can traverse 12-plus miles of trails throughout the neighborhood. These include the Carolina Thread Trail, which carries pedestrians to the Catawba River. Baxter Community Center is the neighborhood’s central hub for social events, with its lawn hosting live music and holiday events. It also features one of Baxter Village’s two community pools and a pair of tennis courts. Further, the community is home to a branch of the Fort Mill Public Library and a YMCA location with “a giant outdoor pool,” per Lastra.

Take a golf cart to dinner
Baxter Town Center offers a small, Main Street USA-type stretch of businesses and service providers along Market Street. Residents in Baxter Village’s eastern section can walk to the area to run errands, take the kids to dance class or grab a bite. However, most locals prefer an alternate method of transportation. “In the summertime, the streets are filled with golf carts,” Lastra says. “People go get dinner, drop off their dry cleaning, grab a glass of wine or visit the yoga studio. There’s even a place where I get my hair cut.” Eateries along this stretch range from a cupcake shop and a Starbucks to Italian, Greek and Asian establishments. One popular restaurant, Fish Market, occupies a large building with a covered front porch and a well-manicured front lawn. Locals visit for seafood and Southern favorites like shrimp and grits and she-crab soup. Baxter Town Center visitors can grab groceries at The Southern Olive, a small gourmet market, or hit Harris Teeter just north of the neighborhood.

South Carolina's best public schools
“People generally move to the Fort Mill area because of its very highly rated school district — the No. 1 district in South Carolina,” Lastra says. Indeed, the Fort Mill School District has an A-plus grade overall from Niche, especially for its academics, clubs and activities. Many residents are within walking distance of Orchard Park Elementary School, which accommodates most Baxter Village K-5 students. It has an A from Niche, while Pleasant Knoll Middle School — about 1 mile north of the neighborhood — has an A-plus. All Baxter Village teens are zoned for Fort Mill High School, which has an A Niche grade. Fort Mill High opened in 1930 and has since won two National Blue Ribbon School awards and fielded numerous state championship-winning athletic teams.
