5 Things to Know about Living in Indian Land, SC

Indian Land, SC, is becoming one of the top Charlotte, NC suburbs. Forbes magazine named Indian Land a top “Boom town” in the nation. And for a good reason. There’s a lot of love about this beautiful, sprawling setting, located just south of Charlotte in Lancaster county. Read on to learn about the benefits of living in Indian Land, SC.

LOCATION

Indian Land is an unincorporated community in the northernmost part of Lancaster County, SC. It offers peaceful country living, affordable homes, and taxes and is just a short drive from all of the amenities in nearby Charlotte and Fort Mill. Indian Land is 15 minutes from the Ballantyne area and only 45 minutes from uptown Charlotte, making it a suitable choice for South Charlotte commuters and retirees. 

LOWER TAXES

South Carolina enjoys some of the lowest property tax rates of any state in the US. And Indian Land is no exception. The current tax rate in Lancaster County is 0.560%, compared to 1.05% in Charlotte’s Mecklenburg county. This difference is a savings of almost $2,000 a year when comparing a $400,000 house in Lancaster County vs. Mecklenburg county!

AMENITIES

The best part of living in Indian Land is the connection to the Land and nature. Outdoor lovers will appreciate the Andrew Jackson State Park, which offers hiking, canoeing, camping, fishing, and picnicking. The park has plenty of recreational attractions, including a campground, a fishing lake, picnic shelters, and nature trails.

Also nearby is the Landsford Canal State Park, a former canal on the banks of the Catawba River. The park is the perfect site for hiking and mountain biking since many trails exist.

For families or retirees interested in joining a social club, the Firethorne Country Club is just across the NC border and a local Lancaster, SC favorite. A luxury country club with a reasonably challenging golf course and a very active tennis league. It is located three miles south of Ballantyne and is part of the club group.
