My husband just got a job in Fort Mill and we have been seeing some nice houses for rent online in the Southpark area of South Charlotte. (We are coming from Columbia after living in Houston for 8 years). Is this a good area and how are the schools? Are there any that particuarly stand out? I need elementary and middle at this point. Thanks!

South Park is a very desirable area of Charlotte - IF it is truly a South Park address. Some people try to attach themselves to South Park that aren't really IN that area. Give me street names and I can try to help you.
But really, why not just live in Fort Mill?? That's a great town with really good schools

+1 on the addresses. Fort Mill would probably be cheaper overall too.
Ft. M<ill has a variey of good schools and neighborhoods. All the York Co schools in York Dist. 4 has good ratings, no matter where they change the bnoundaries to. Lancaster Co has Indianland schools, not quite as highly rated but still, no fears about boundary changes.

Depending on your SP address, Beverly Woods Elem and Carmel Middle are rated pretty highly. Highly enough that the CMS Superintenant will be sending his kids there.
The SP area itself is great. You are centrally located to everything w/o being in the suburbia of Ballantyne. I loath the Ballanyne area traffic, especially if you didn't work in Ballatyne.
I live 3 miles south of SP off of Carmel Rd and work in SP. The prices in my 'hood are VERY reasonable given the location in an established neighborhood.
That said, Fort Mill is supposed to have a good school system. If you are not looking for more of a "city life", I would look in Fort Mill.
If you would like to be around fine restuarants, upscale shopping, 15 minute drive uptown, established 'hoods...I would look in the SP area.
I am with InSouthPark on this one, but obviously, ISP and I like a very robust suburban area and that isn't for everyone. That being said, one reason I bought off Carmel, inside 51, is b/c of the school district. Even tho my kids are no longer in public school, I felt this was a huge selling point if we should ever decide to sell our home.
