Lake Wylie is Becoming Charlotte Regions Latest New Housing Hot Spot

Widening of N.C. 49 is completed from Charlotte to Lake Wylie and the opening of a local leg of the Interstate 485 outer belt has helped growth into an even higher gear.



Lake Wylie used to be a secret, but it's8217;s not anymore. Now people all around the lake are discovering what we's8217;ve known all along 's8212; the quality of life, the beauty, the lower taxes and the lifestyle are so nice here. You can have a resort lifestyle with the amenities of a big city a short drive away.



Everywhere around the lake you can see growth, in neighborhoods both inland and along the shoreline; in mixed-use retail, residential and office complexes along the N.C. 49 corridor; in roads being built and widened; in new businesses catering to new residents; and in community services from churches and schools to museums and recreational facilities.



Lake Wylie is accessible for people to get to and from work and to get around. The demographics are showing more of a shift to higher income families, and businesses see that as a great opportunity to come into a new market. Then the publicity of events like the Bassmaster Classic last year and HomeArama this year fuel interest. Events like this draw awareness to Lake Wylie in the Charlotte region.



Because of the proximity many folks can get to work in Charlotte from Lake Wylie and York County faster than they can from other parts of the city. A lot of that is due to the work York County has done to roads and to recent improvements on the Mecklenburg County side of the Buster Boyd Bridge. The convenience just makes it even more enticing to build.



Service providers including new businesses are making the choice to move to Lake Wylie. What used to be an area where people had weekend getaways and fishing cabins is now a place where they want to live and spend all of their non-working time. People aren's8217;t just coming to boat or fish; they's8217;re coming to stay.'s8221;



Lifestyle options also are attracting new segments of the residential market, business officials say. In Tega Cay and the planned community of Baxter, families are drawn to the strong school district, recreation and amenities such as restaurants, shops, community centers and a YMCA.



Lake Wylie offers recreation, beautiful waterfront access and a quieter atmosphere. The whole face of southwest Charlotte is going to go through a dramatic metamorphosis in the next five years with developments like RiverGate and Ayrsley. And with 485 opening, you's8217;re 15 minutes from the airport, 25 minutes from SouthPark and 25 minutes from Ballantyne. You can read more here www.realestate-charlotte.com.
