Why Families Are Putting Down Roots Just Across the State Line
South Carolina’s Southern charm has families hopping the border. Popular areas, including Fort Mill, Rock Hill and Tega Cay, lie just 30 minutes south of Charlotte, and still feel within a short reach of uptown Charlotte. Lower property taxes and a surge in development have many families moving down the Interstate 77 corridor.
Fort Mill
Fort Mill is one of the fastest growing cities in the state of South Carolina. Highly rated schools are part of the draw. Schools within the Fort Mill School District have earned an impressive reputation. The 2018 senior classes received more than $31 million in scholarship opportunities. The district works diligently to keep up with rapid growth in population. The district opened its fifth middle school, Pleasant Knoll Middle School, in August 2017. The district’s third high school, Catawba Ridge High School, is slated to open in August 2019. This past spring, a successful $190 million bond referendum passed to include funding for two elementary schools and one middle school.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom
WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
