Hi there,
We are looking at Baxter Village. I wanted to know a few things
Outside of Baxter Village - is there shopping near? Like Targets and such?? How far to nearest mall? How far is Rock Hill? And is there good shopping in Rock Hill? How far to Lake Wylie and beach access?

Hello! I am a recent transplant living in a condo complex near Baxter Village. We are renting here and building in Rock Hill. I was amazed at how convenient this area is. Baxter is off Rt 160 where you will find five food stores, banks, drugstores, cleaners, gas stations, Lowe's home store, many fast food restaurants and a number of regular restaurants all within about 2 miles from Baxter.
Baxter is right off Interstate 77 (Exit 85) which takes you north into Charlotte and south toward Rock Hill, which is from 3 to 10 minutes south on I77 depending on which exit you want. Rock Hill has a mall but I gather the one in Pineville, NC (about 15 minutes away) is better. Manchester Village is a shopping area right off I77 at exit 79 (the same as the Target and the mall) and has a lot of stores. The exit numbers correspond to miles, so Baxter is 6 miles from the exit for the mall, etc.in Rock Hill.
There is a Target in Rock Hill (about 10 minutes) and one up on Rt 160 & Rt 49 into NC.. maybe 15 minutes away.
Lake Wylie is all over this area. I have been told there is beach access somewhere in Tega Cay but haven't been there yet. Baxter is about maybe 8 minutes from the entrance to Tega Cay (down Gold Hill Rd which is off Rt 160).
There is a bridge over Lake Wylie on Rt 49 which is west of the Target I mentioned above at 49 and 160.
You can look all of this up on mapquest.com to visualize it better. You can also download Google Earth and it gives you details of the stores on the streets. That is how I learned a lot before we got here.
All in all, I can't imagine you in a better place than right off Rt 160.
There is shopping in the village, but specialty only...Walmart on 160 a few miles away. Rock Hill around 6 miles. Rivergate is around 6 miles has a Best Buy, Super Target, Petsmart, Home Depot, Old Navy and many others along with resturants. Harris Teeter grocery store accross the street, Lowes and Chic filet, Wendys, Pizza Hut, Backyard Burger, Quiznoes, Big Wok, Beefs, Wine Bar, BK, Walgreens, CVS, LuLu's, Six Pense Pub and many many many others that I forgot to mention. Carolina Place mall in Pineville, 15 min...SouthPark 25 Min...Lake Whlie boat access on Dan road 2 miles...
Hope this helps!
We are moving from Houston this summer to a neighborhood right behind the new Walmart at Stonecrest and 160. I was just up there earlier this week, and I couldn't believe how convenient everything is. You should be able to access everything you need in 15 minutes or less, depending on the time of day. BTW, I had lunch with my mother-in-law in Baxter this past week - that neighborhood is so wonderful. We would have loved to live there, but we couldn't find a floorplan that suited our needs (we have 5 kids). You should be VERY pleased with the neighborhood as well as the surrounding area!
Have a look at the new parks ordinance Ordinance #328- Updated Parks & Recreation Ordinance at Home . According to this ordinance you don't have to be a resident of Tega Cay to get an annual parking permit. I wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong idea about our community!
While it wasn't my intention to give the wrong impression of TC (just answering the posters question)...and stating the way things were prior to the new ordinance.
