stone creek ranch subdivision (Charlotte, Fountain: for sale, HOA, houses)

[eccentricbeethoven]

do anyone know something about this subdivision?

I went through and looked at it. Centex homes I believe. Big development, has different price ranges. The more affordable area, which are still $300+ are on postage stamp lots and all the houses look the same to me. Reminded me of California. Good location though and nice ameneties I recall. The location is why the prices are a little high.

Also, do you really want to live that close to 485? Seems like there would be a lot of noise considering you can see the subdivision from the highway.

I know they are the hottest selling subdivision in South Charlotte with over 55 sales in the first half of 2007, for an avg. price of $369,294!

Second hottest is Ballantyne Country club with 35 sales. (Different price point though!)

Only a handful are within sight of I485 - the vast majority are not seen from it or even hear it. Stone Creek Ranch is in an awesome location!

Stone Creek Ranch is a great subdivison. Showed one in the Saddlewood neighborhood, lower price point, and it was very nice. Yes, they are on small lots but HOA does all yard maintenance. Also had open house in Higher priced area more off Audrey Kell, well away from 485 sight and it was also an awesome home. There are some that are w/in sight of 485 but if that is not your prefernce there are certainly many others that are not. Straight shot up Tom Short to Ballantyne Commons (Stonecrest) or Ardrey Kell to Providence/16 at the 485 Exchange, or Ardry Kell to Rea at Blakney. There are also the new Shops at The Fountains at intersection of Tom Short and Ardry Kell. Great Location.

My family and I may also be relocating to Charlotte within the next several months. I would be working off of Arrowood Rd. What communities in your opinion would be the most desirable for a family in the $500k price range? This includes schools, commuting distance, shopping, etc... I've been told to consider Fort Mill, Ballantyne or Union County.

I would nix the idea of Union county considering your job location - big traffic headache. I would highly recommend areas of south Charlotte (just not as far as where it reachs Union county) and Fort Mill.

One very nice neighborhood with beautiful homes in your price range is Park Crossing. It is very near South Mecklenburg High School and would give you easy access to work. I will send you a link to a home there for you to see.

Thanks There are some lovely ones for sale in there right now. I have always really liked Park Crossing for its bigger lots and mature trees and greenery.
