It seems like we have had more than our fair share of thunderstorms recently. I am sure the National Weather Service could quantify that but that is not what this is about.

The newest phase of Baxter Village has some great home sites and they are much larger. Some of the new home sites are 5 times the size of the typical Baxter home sites! All the home sites include lots of natural trees and are located within a short walk of the Catawba River.

A lot of homeowners consider moving to South Carolina for lower property taxes.  In fact, not only do they consider South Carolina, they consider Fort Mill, SC.  Not only do they consider Fort Mill, but Baxter Village.  Why?  Because in Baxter Village, property taxes are 45% less than they are in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (just about 6 miles up the road).  The average sale price for a new home in Baxter Village is approximately $432,000.  With the Homestead Exemption, that equates to a property tax bill of approximately $2,700 per year vs. $5,600 in Mecklenburg County.  That’s about $241 per month which equals $40,000 more value in a home.
