We had a poster who lived in Clover for several years. She rarely posts anymore, but she later moved from Clover to Belmont.
You might want to check with Holy Angels in Belmont about schools. I doubt that you'd need their services, but they are certainly aware of the schools & services in the area. I'm assuming that your 5 year old has an IEP.
There are stores in Clover & Denver. People in Clover go to Gastonia & Kings Mountain for things that they don't have. I'm not sure where people from Denver go for what they don't have. Most people in towns like Belmont, Clover, Kings Mountain, & Dallas end up in Gastonia for part of their shopping.

I second this. I have lived in Belmont and absolutely loved the town.

Belmont schools are fine. There are two threads on the front page of this board regarding schools. Be aware that SC schools are ranked against SC schools. NC schools are ranked against NC schools.
So, My question is are there stores nearby in Denver or Clover? I don’t want to have to drive 15 mins to a half hour just to go to a store. And also regarding Clover.. anybody know if it’s a safe town?
What types of stores are you looking for? Clover and Denver both have a Walmart where many do their basic shopping. There are also supermarkets and pharmacies/convenience stores. Other than that, expect to drive for most big box stores (you'd likely get used to just using e-commerce if Walmart doesn't have what you need rather than drive far).
Clover and Denver don't have a Target, Costco, Home Depot (but both have a Lowe's), TJ Maxx, Bed Bath and Beyond, Dick's Sporting Goods, Mall Shopping/Department Stores, etc... if you are wanting these types of stores very close by, Clover and Denver will likely be too rural for you.
Most of those big box stores will vary between 15 - 40 minutes depending on traffic and where exactly you are within Clover. The closest stores will likely be in Gastonia or the Steele Creek area of Charlotte. Gastonia has a small mall and Pineville, NC has a relatively large mall (Carolina Place). The most upscale shopping in the area is at SouthPark Mall which will be about 20 - 25 miles away from Clover and 35 miles from Denver.
Oh okay thanks so much! That helps alot. I don’t need a ton of stores near by I just wanted to make sure there was basically a Walmart and a grocery store that I’d be able to get to without having to drive for a half hour. Do you know how the crime is in Clover? People speak good about the town but the crime statistics seemed kinda high?
Denver is great. The area skews more towards rural, but it is by no means far from the conveniences of daily life. The intersection of 16/73, for instance, has most everything a family needs for typical errands - Walmart, Lowes, multiple grocery options, multiple pharmacies, many restaurant options, small retail, etc. The only thing you might find the need to drive for is a movie theater and fine dining, but even that is only a short 15 minute drive to Birkdale Village.
