Neighborhood Spotlight: The Landing

October 2, 2020 by lkw_df Leave a Comment

Right on the shores of Lake Wylie, you’ll find a serene neighborhood called The Landing. This great community is close to Charlotte, but has lower South Carolina taxes, and is in the top rated Clover school district. This should be enough to entice most people, but then you add on great amenities, community events, and wonderful homes and it’s no wonder these homes don’t last long on the market.

The homes in The Landing are estate style homes with large lots of at least a half acre and plenty of space. Many of the homes have over 3,000 square feet of living space and some have over 6,000 square feet. These homes were built in the early 2000’s and have open floorplans, home offices, and waterfront homes have docks and boathouses.

In addition to these amazing homes, there are great amenities in The Landing. There are 25 boat slips for residents without direct water access. There is also a neighborhood park, clubhouse, and pool. There are around 2 miles of paved walking trails and sidewalks encouraging residents to take advantage of the outdoors. There is a competitive swim team for the kids, and many community events throughout the year.

There are currently 7 homes on the market in The Landing representing 5.6 months of inventory, but of the seven four are already under contract. Typically having 5.6 months of inventory represents a balanced market between buyers and sellers, but with the broader trend of low inventory in the region, sellers may still have the upper hand in negotiations.

In the last year, homes sold for between $365,000 and $1,060,000. This shows the difference between a small interior home and a large waterfront home.

A new development is in the works on Lake Wylie and Little Allison Creek. The proposed project is being put together by Fielding Homes which is a local builder working in the Fort Mill and Lake Wylie areas. Their previous projects include Mason’s Bend and Paddler’s Cove just to name a few.

The new project is called Lakeside Glen and the plans show that it will be a 425-lot single-family residential project. The site sits on 305.7 acres located between Highway 274 and Allison Creek Road.

This project has been in the works for some time, with a preliminary plat originally filed in March of 2015. There have been changes and revisions since the original filing, the most notable has been increasing of minimum lot size.

There are not many more details available at this time so we still don’t know the size or price range of the homes yet. The York County Planning Commission will continue to work with Fielding Homes as this project comes to fruition.
