Close-knit suburb with great schools and community spirit
Over the past few decades, the South Carolina neighborhood of Springfield has quickly established itself as a highly desirable, upscale Charlotte-area community that, in some respects and for some buyers, might epitomize the suburban dream. “It’s kind of the same story for a lot of people,” says Ken Vining, a Realtor with eXp who has sold homes in the community for 10 years. “They’ll live in the Charlotte area when they’re younger, and then some of them will move over to the Fort Mill side to raise a family, citing the rankings of the schools and the lower taxes.” Many homeowners don’t want that story to end. Vining: “A lot of people hate to leave when they get a job transfer or something like that. Springfield’s a tight-knit community, and people really get to know each other through neighborhood barbecues or when their kids hang out by the pool.” There’s no shortage of events that bring neighbors together, from wine tastings at Napa to the South Carolina Strawberry Festival. Springfield has an overall CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10, which is below the national average of 4, so crime here is comparatively low.
Springfield sits between Fort Mill to the west and Indian Land to the east.
The Springfield neighborhood is a walkers paradise with the many sidewalks.

Homes follow a variety of styles and floorplans, some by a golf course
Springfield has exploded in growth over the past few decades, but according to Vining, homes have generally maintained a similar quality in appearance and build the whole time. “Every once in a while, you’ll see an empty lot, but for the most part, the community is built up,” he says. “The original portion of Springfield was all custom luxury homes, and after the downturn of the market, you had other builders come in who still built really high-quality homes. It’s hard to drive by Springfield and not see a beautiful home.” Many custom builds take inspiration from the French Country, New Traditional and Tudor Revival architectural styles, among others, offering 3,000 square feet of interior space. Split-levels, ranch-style homes and other smaller builds also frequently enter the market. “A lot of buyers are drawn to Springfield, because homes have different types of floor plans and are at different price points,” says 17-year resident Jackie Fenbert, a Realtor with Compass. “Some have finished basements in case owners want a little extra space for entertaining.” Detached homes range in price from $350,000 to $800,000, though homes by the golf course can sell for $1 million or more. Townhouses usually go from $275,000 to $400,000, while condos often range from $150,000 to $300,000. Sugar Creek runs along the east side of the neighborhood and occasionally floods, but most flood-prone areas are undeveloped.
Split-level homes are common in the older communities of Springfield.
The Springfield neighborhood also has large mansions.

Fort Mill School District is No. 1 in South Carolina, according to Niche
Niche ranks Fort Mill Elementary as the sixth best public elementary in South Carolina, while ranking Fort Mill Middle as the state’s fourth best public middle school. Nation Ford High has a School Improvement Council which promotes student achievements and strives to foster solid relationships among faculty, students and the greater community. These three schools all earn overall A ratings from Niche. Vining also highlights the athletic prowess of local schools. “There’s a lot of sporting events with Fort Mill’s three big high schools. And some of the schools, such as Fort Mill High and Nation Ford High, have gone to lacrosse and softball championships. People love Friday night lights,” he says. Nation Ford High’s marching band is also acclaimed, having won the state’s 4AA marching band championships six times since 2013.
The Fort Mill Elementary School serves just over 745 students.
The Nation Ford High School serves students in grades 9th-12th.

A golf course and a nature preserve
Springfield’s master-planned community of the same name offers a community clubhouse, as well as tennis courts and swimming pools. Many homes push up to the community’s par-72 golf course, situated atop hills and offering breathtaking views of Sugar Creek. Anne Springs Close Greenway, a nature preserve, more than doubles New York’s Central Park in size, with 2,100 acres reserved for native wildlife and recreational opportunities. “A lot of people go out there for hiking and horseback riding, and there’s also several ponds. Two of the park’s entrances are right across from residential subdivisions,” Vining says. Ordinarily, visitors must pay to enter the park, but residents of Springfield’s master-planned community receive a yearly membership through their HOA dues.
The Springfield Golf Course has 4 holes flanking Sugar Creek, with spectacular views.
Anne Springs Close Greenway in Springfield is perfect for nature lovers.

Homemade food and a variety of restaurants
At the Peach Stand, shoppers can find locally grown strawberries, butchery meats, homemade baked goods and more. Alternatively, two Food Lions and two Harris Teeters can be found within a few miles of the neighborhood. For dining out, Fenbert and Vining both recommend visiting the restaurants at Kingsley Town Center. Taking its name from California’s famous wine region, Napa serves up high-end dishes such as beef carpaccio in a modern setting with tall, glass windows an outdoor patio. Napa also invites residents for monthly wine tastings. Spice Asian Kitchen specializes in fusion cuisine, offering its own take on crab rangoon and other meals. The rooftop terrace offers great views of the Lake at Kingsley and is rentable for private events. More shopping centers and restaurants await in neighboring Ballantyne.
The Springs Farm Market in Springfield offers fresh produce, baked goods, homemade ice cream.

Charlotte’s just up the interstate
Interstate 77 links Springfield residents to Uptown Charlotte, 20 miles to the north. “To Charlotte people, it seems like Fort Mill is so far away. But I live on the east side near Springfield, and Uptown’s only a 25- to 30-minute drive,” Vining says. However, rush hour traffic can delay commutes.
Springfield is 17 miles south of Uptown Charlotte.
Uptown Charlotte is a 30 minute commute from the Springfield neighborhood.

Strawberry fields forever
Fenbert notes that the Springfield Property Owners Association keeps a "social calendar with anything from ‘Parents and Me’ groups to events with food trucks and live music during the summer." But the annual South Carolina Strawberry Festival is arguably Fort Mill’s biggest event. Attendees run in the 5K, complete the scavenger hunt, win the strawberry eating contest or just fill up on strawberries. Strawberry pickles, strawberry mango salsa and fried Oreo strawberry bombs are just a few concoctions on offer.
The Orchard Park Clubhouse can be rented out by Springfield residents for personal events.
You can drive 5 minutes from Springfield to try Hobo's famous hamburgers.
