Baxter Village put northern York County on the map as a Charlotte-area bedroom community when Clear Springs Development broke ground on the 1,450-home mixed-use plan in 1998.
It’s been 18 years and Baxter Village is more than a bedroom community. It’s a self-sustaining destination outside metro Charlotte that offers residents all the amenities of big-city life without having to leave home. Water access on Lake Wylie is easy, too, with a boat ramp 2 miles away on Dam Road.
The neighborhood, which surrounds Baxter Town Center, covers more than a 1,000 acres and has miles of walking trails and 500 acres of open space and parks. Baxter Town Center’s restaurants, shops and offices contribute more than $14 million annually to the economy, according to the Clear Springs Development web site.
The village is made up of both custom and production homes from a variety of builders. Very few new homes are going up in the neighborhood, as it was officially completed in 2013, however, there is a new custom home completed this year currently listed for close to $1 million in the pocket neighborhood of Riverwalk.
There are a variety of home plans and sizes from which to choose. The smallest homes currently listed for sale are in the 1,700-square-foot range. The largest is over 4,500 square feet. Ages of homes vary greatly as well; The village’s first-ever new home sold in 1999.
In the last 12 months, an average of 6.7 homes sold per month. Currently, there are 22 homes on the market in Baxter Village, which is approximately 3.2 months inventory. That’s below the 5 months for all of Fort Mill and well below the almost 7 months inventory for York County.
