Springfield at Fort Mill, Resort Living 17 Miles From Charlotte NC
Charlotte NCÂ Â Â Fort Mill has seen increasing in popularity- from the immediate success of Baxter Village to the widening of I-77 in SC, to the decrease in property taxes in 2007, Fort Mill, SC (close by Charlotte NC) has been increasing in popularity and Springfield, by Crescent is the latest, and best entry. Maybe the best in Charlotte.
Springfield is a self-contained community of custom homes, built by more than twenty of Charlotte’s best custom builders, set around thae Springfield Golf Course in Fort Mill. A rolling countryside mixes with wooded lots and windy streets to create a peaceful setting- a doctor I was showing homes commented last month that “it was the kind of community that a parent could let their kids ride bikes without fear.” Surrounded by historic properties, the quiet streets of Springfield speak to a time gone by in many places. Award winning Cunnane builders complements the community with their City collection of southern homes at the entry, providing a built in move up market for the custom homes.
Golf is affordable at Springfield, and amenities are King!
A $1900 family membership allows play at any time, to rent a cart is additional, and no minimums. It is a very competitive course… then they added their 5 acre recreation center, 3 pools, 6 tennis courts, clubhouse with party room and fitness center, a full time recreation director staffs the after school programs and runs swim team in the summer.
Activities include, for late November and December:Â Â Ladies night out, Tree Trimming party and Potluck, Kids Movie Night, Weekly craft corner for kids, Family Bowling, a Teen Holiday Party, An Adult Holiday Party, aProgressive cocktail Party and more.
For the outdoor enthusiast, the 2300 acre Ann Close Greenway is across the street,
with trail access from Springfield, this woodland preserve has 32 miles of trails, an equestrian center designed for learning, and 3 lakes- with fish. That’s your backyard if you live at Springfield! As an example, Ballantyne , the whole area is around 2000 acres! Its been given to the city in perpetuity by the Close children, and can never be re-sold.

Crescent-Resources, the development arm of Duke Energy, has developed many of the finest communities in Charlotte. A learning company, each Crescent community represents the accumulated knowledge of the top of their industry, and as they try an make each of their new communities surpass their last one, they have created communities that are unequaled, here in Charlotte, or the rest of the country.
Here are a few of the custom homes– just about every style and elevation, some with basements, from the upper $600’s to $1,000,000, or a little over. Just like everywhere, it is a buyers market on inventory homes!
Lots are from $145K and are about 1/2 acre, and some are still available. There is a good selection of completed or RTC, Ready to Customize homes as well. I’ll have a detailed market report in a few days.
