5 Things I Love About South Carolina!

November 18, 2022 by Danielle Edwards

5 Things I Love About South Carolina!

South Carolina is a sure bet if you’re looking for big-city amenities with a slower pace of life. I sell a lot of homes on the South Carolina side of Charlotte, primarily to families looking for top-rated schools and retirees looking to take advantage of all the recreational opportunities this beautiful palmetto state has to offer. Watch my video to learn about the top 5 things I love about South Carolina.


 

Fireworks All Day, Everyday

Who doesn’t love the beautiful display of colors lighting up the night sky? South Carolina fireworks are some of the best in the country too. Many other states only allow the sale of “safe and sane” fireworks, but South Carolina allows the purchase of any Consumer-class (C-class) fireworks, with a few exceptions. Fireworks are legal to light every day. So, be safe and respectful of your neighbors, and enjoy shooting fireworks all year in South Carolina.

Cheaper Liquor and Gas

Are you starting to sense a vibe about South Carolinians? Yep, they sure know how to have a good time! Because the state does not operate liquor stores in South Carolina, SC liquor stores can compete, driving down the costs. So go on down to Frugal MacDoogal’s at the Carowinds exit and enjoy your savings — and don’t forget to gas up while you are there!

Beaches, Beaches, Beaches

From famous rockin’ Myrtle Beach to upscale Hilton Head Island to quieter beaches like Daufuskie Island, there’s a beach for every personality and lifestyle. My personal favorites are the charming beaches surrounding Charleston, SC. Enjoy spending your days on Folly Beach and later eating at some of the finest restaurants in the country in beautiful, historic Charleston, SC.

Lower Taxes

South Carolina enjoys some of the lowest property tax rates of any state. The current tax rate below the NC border 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 South Carolina vs. Mecklenburg county!

Location

Charlotte is a stone’s throw away from the South Caroline border. South Carolina offers peaceful country living, affordable homes, and cheaper taxes. And it is just a short drive from all of the amenities in nearby Charlotte, making it a suitable choice for South Charlotte commuters and retirees. I’ve helped buyers in the communities of Fort Mill, Indian Land, Lancaster County, and York County find the home of their dreams, and I can help you too!

5 Things to Know About Living in Indian Land, SC

November 17, 2022 by Danielle Edwards

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!

DEVELOPMENTS

Indian Land, SC, is booming! Residential and retail communities continue to develop, and many of the communities cater to the active adult lifestyle. 

  • Bridgemill: Homes range from $600,000 to over $1 million. Beautiful lots, landscaping, and, yes, sidewalks! You are close to TONS of shopping, restaurants, a movie theater, the YMCA, doctor’s offices, and the highway. Watch my video below to see the beautiful Bridgemill. 

  • Sun City at Carolina Lakes: The largest Active Adult golf course community in the Charlotte region that lies on the banks of the Catawba River in SC. This 3,160-home community across 1,512 acres of scenic hills and forests allows residents to enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle and access amenities, including two large clubhouses and an 18-hole golf course.
  • CrossRidge Center is a 190-acre mixed-use commercial development site just miles from Charlotte’s affluent Ballantyne Community. The site offers more than 1,500 feet of frontal-facing property on Hwy 521. 
  • ParkStone at Indian Land: ParkStone has begun clearing the ground on approximately 46 acres of Land off of 521. The plan includes a mix of medical, commercial, and retail space adjacent to 266 luxury apartments in 10 buildings.

AMENITIES

Although Indian Land has more of a rural vibe and no real “downtown,” plenty of businesses keep you close by. The commercial areas include food and local restaurants, convenience stores, grocery, and even a Super Walmart. 

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. 

ECONOMY

Although Indian Land is a small rural town, it’s the home to the HQs of several major businesses, including Continental Tire North America, Red Ventures, Sharonview Federal Credit Union, The Inspiration Networks, and Movement Mortgage. Also located here are large branches of Honeywell, URS Corporation, TriNet, and Keer America Corporation.

Relocating From New Jersey to the Carolinas – Thank You, Danielle!

November 9, 2022 by Danielle Edwards

Relocating From New Jersey to the Carolinas – Thank you, Danielle!

Selling gorgeous homes in beautiful areas can be a lot of fun as a real estate agent. But my clients are what makes real estate fulfilling. Meet Kelly. I helped her on her journey, relocating from New Jersey to the Carolinas. Kelly had a list of specific needs as a mom to three kids. She wanted to be close to friends they knew in the area and needed space for her husband to have an office. Kelly also needed to live in a place where she could help relocate her extended family from NJ soon. Not only did we find Kelly the house of her dreams, but we also set her up with all of the information and resources she needed to make the Carolinas feel like home — and I made a new friend to boot!

Listen to Kelly’s client testimonial here:

Three Reasons You Should Consider Relocating to the Carolinas.

Those who already live in the South know the advantages of planting roots here. There is a lot to love about the South: mild temperatures, four seasons, spacious homes, lower taxes, affordable living, and quick getaways to the beaches and mountains. Here’s why so many Northerners are moving down South.

1. Affordability

If you’re spending a ton of your hard-earned money on housing, utilities, and taxes up North–and without a decent yard–you may want to consider relocating from New Jersey to the Charlotte, NC, area. The cost of living in the South is the #1 reason people choose to relocate here. If you’re making a $100k salary in New York City, you’ll only need to earn $40k a year to maintain the same standard of living in Charlotte, NC! Everything, from housing to childcare to dining, is less expensive in the South.

2. The Weather

We all know the #2 reason northerners relocate to Charlotte, NC is the weather! You’ll be hooked once you’ve lived a full year in this beautiful area. Yes, the South can get hot, but Charlotte is closer to the mid-Atlantic, giving you some protection against the hottest climates of the South. Thankfully, we boast some of the best coastlines and pool companies in the country, making it easy to stay cool in the heat down here.

And the fall and winter months are sure to make up for those Vitamin-D-filled summers. You may get a few inches of snow, but you can throw away your shovel because the sun will melt it in the morning! And you like fall leaves, you say? Well, enjoy the beautiful scenery in Charlotte and the NC Mountains — boasting some of the most vibrant fall colors in the country.

3. ROOM to Stretch 

It’s no surprise that you’ll find bigger homes on larger lots in the South. Those extra square feet can prove necessary with a growing family or a permanent remote worker in the home. With the average list price of a house in Charlotte at $410k in October 2022, Charlotte still has a lower cost per square foot than up North, so you get more house for less money. And it’s more than your own home. Charlotte has less traffic and congestion and more green space and parks to inhale. And exhale.

Are there more reasons to move to Charlotte, NC? Absolutely! Let’s not forget the mouth-watering southern cuisine. Or the proximity to endless getaways, from the breathtaking NC and SC beaches to the charming mountain towns of NC, VA, and TN. If you want more reasons to chat about your specific needs, I’m here to help you start your next adventure in the South.

If you want help getting to know this area – let’s talk!
