There are not many condominium or townhome projects in the Lake Wylie area, but a new community is coming to the Belmont area expected to open next summer. This project by Tri Pointe Homes will bring 100 townhomes to the area. We don’t know many other details at this point, but we will be sure to update when we know more.

If you can’t wait until next summer but want to know about the other townhome communities near Lake Wylie, there are a few we would highly recommend.

• Waters Edge – on the shores of Lake Wylie, with a Belmont address. This community has 2-4 bedroom homes in the low $200,000’s to the low $400,000’s.
• Harpers Mill – right in the heart of Lake Wylie, Harpers Mill has 2-4 bedroom homes in the low $200,000’s to the low $300,000’s.
• Ivy Ridge – also in the heart of Lake Wylie, Ivy Ridge has two story, 3 bedroom homes in the low $300,000’s to the mid-$300,000’s.
• Autumn Cove at Lake Wylie – right near Crowders Creek Elementary School, Autumn Cove at Lake Wylie has two-story 3 bedroom homes that sell in the low $300,000’s.

Because there are not many townhome communities near the lake, there is plenty of competition for them when they are listed for sale. Many people love a townhome for an investment such as a rental or short-term rental like an AirBnB. This means that you could be competing with more people as owner-occupants and investors will most likely be interested. You need to be ready to make your best offer as most of these types of homes last just days on the market before going under contract.

If you are curious about what your home is worth or if it’s a good time for you to buy, give us a call at 803-831-8588. We would love to share our perspective on Lake Wylie and the Charlotte area. You can view current listings and create custom searches on our website here.

If you are coming into Lake Wylie across the Buster Boyd Bridge on 49, take state highway 274 North. Southwoods is located on your left just a couple of miles past Pole Branch Road. This great location has you close to town, but far enough away that it’s nice and quiet. Residents are close to shopping, dining, and entertainment in Belmont, and Lake Wylie. A little bit further away you will have many options for larger shops and restaurants as well as highway access for an Uptown commute or just a trip into the city.

Originally built in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, Southwoods homes are typically ranch style, and many have been updated and expanded since they were first built. The average home has 2 to 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with 1,000 to 1,500 square feet of living space. Lots are between a fifth of an acre and a half acre in size.

In the past year, just three homes changed owners in Southwoods. Each home went under contract in 5 days or less. Prices ranged from $165,000 to $197,000. There is currently one home listed for sale in Southwoods, and it went under contract after just one day on the market. Because they sell so quickly, you have to be ready as soon as one of these great homes is offered for sale. Call us at 803-831-8588 and we can help you get all the paperwork done so you are ready to make your best offer.

The restaurant took over the space that formerly was White’s Restaurant. White’s was in that location for 41 years, but closed in 2021. The vacant restaurant called to new owners Nicole and Junior Montero. They had moved to the area in 2019 from Hialeah, Florida. They were lured North by the good schools and cheaper cost of living. When they saw the restaurant space, they knew they could make it feel like home or “Little Cuba” where Nicole grew up.

Breakfasts include eggs, croquetas, fries, Cuban toast, and Cuban coffee with milk also called cafe con leche. Lunch offerings will include steak sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, pork sandwiches, sweet plantains, and more. Friday specials will range from pork to chicken with rice and beans. Additional specials and menu items could be added later based on customer demand and seasonality of ingredients.

My Cuban Corner is a relaxed family space located at 417 N. Catawba Street in downtown Belmont. It is sure to be a place to get a meal before or after community events like parades, concerts, or just a day window shopping.

Most of the homes have the primary suite on the main floor, and a few of the homes have dual primary suites. All of the homes have two car garages and rocking chair front porches.

The event is located at 24 S. Main Street in the heart of Belmont. If you can’t get to the official lighting ceremony, never fear. The trees have decorations as well as lights so they can be enjoyed day or night throughout the month of December with an end date of January 3rd.

This is through the Strong Like AK foundation. They can be donated at this link for $20 each. This worthy cause helps ease the financial burden of some of the 1.7 million people diagnosed each year with cancer.

Timber Ridge residents are obviously concerned about the new development. It would take a non-pass through street and divert a lot of new incoming traffic past homes where there has been no traffic before. It could change the character of the neighborhood from quiet and relaxed to busy and loud, especially in the construction phase.

Many people who live off South Point Road are concerned about extra traffic on an already congested portion of the road. During peak times, there can be a lot of traffic, and if there are an additional 628 homes in Henry Chapel on 275 acres of land. These single family homes could put an additional thousand or so cars on the road during peak times.

Turnstone Group filed the plans with the City of Belmont and are required to hold a public hearing about the proposal. This will be a venue for residents to voice their concerns about the project and see if there is an alternative entrance point instead of routing through an existing neighborhood. This is also a time to bring up the potential traffic issues which could result in changes to South Point Road.

The hearing is scheduled for next Tuesday, October 18th at 6pm at FUMC Belmont, 807 South Point Road. To see more information about the development filing, check out the City of Belmont page here.

106 North Main Street in Belmont is the new home of Stone Fired Social, a pizza place taking the spot where Johnny B’s Pizza used to be (it closed in 2021). It is right next to sister restaurant The String Bean.

The menu is still being refined, but we know for sure that the pies will offer a selection of toppings, and customization options. There will be appetizers, wings, salads, sandwiches, pizzas with red sauce, pizzas with alternative sauces, and a kids menu. There will also be more interesting offerings with fun names like the Hulk Smash Pistachio and the Red Corvette Red. All pizzas will be available in 12 inch, 16 inch, or grandma style. The grandma style is a rectangular Sicilian style.

The restaurant, once open, will be available for lunch and dinner six days per week. They will be closed on Mondays. Patrons can eat, play arcade games, order 12 different flavors of gelato, or make use of the full bar.

The restaurant should open in the next couple of weeks. They are hiring for all positions right now and are finishing all of the final details. Stone Fired Social will soon be hosting families, happy hours, team celebrations, parties and much more.

The farmers market is located on Glenway Street next to the railroad tracks. Opening date should be Thursday September 22nd from 3:30 – 7 pm. Of course, with any outdoor event, weather can cancel the event.

There has not been a farmers market in Belmont for more than five years. Many local farmers are already busy on the weekends with markets in surrounding towns. This makes a Thursday market good for farmers, and is hopefully great for buyers as they come home from work and can grab fresh foods to last them through the weekend.

At this time, there will only be food vendors at the market, but there could be an arts and crafts component in the future. Live music and entertainment could also follow as is typical at a lot of farmers markets. Tote bags will be available for purchase if you forget your reusable bag at home.

The farmers market will run through the fall, then return in the spring when farmers have produce available again. Tentative dates through the fall are September 22, October 20, and November 17. This last date is just in time to stock up before Thanksgiving.
