My family first visited Charlotte almost 2 years ago and since then i've wanted to make Charlotte my new home. We live and own a home in Brooklyn, NY. We've visited a few communities (berewick, Waterlyn,Steele Creek) and haven't really narrowed made a choice. I like a few of Steele Creek's plan and they more so have what i have in mind (i.e large floor plans, sep.masterbath/walk-in closet so you don't have to walk through the bath to get to the closet). We have a 2 year old and a 6 year old so good day care centers and schools are a MUST. We are looking in the $200-250k range and square ft ranging from 2500-3000 sq. feet. Any suggestions. Thanks!
There are several options for you -- if a community pool as well as a newer home are important to you, in addition to Berewick I would check out Yorkshire, Falcon Ridge, Hamilton Lakes, and Waterlyn.
O.K, I have been examining the real estate in that area and found that it is better to reside in Fort Mill, S.C. The schools are of better-quality and the price per sq foot is about equal. In addition, the taxes and crime in Fort Mill are much lower than Charlotte. I also found out that Fort Mill is under tremendous growth, which will add value to your home over time. I would advise that you take a look at some of the new home builders in the Fort Mill area, since they have plenty of homes within your price range.
Schools for Berewick are terrible. If they are a must for you, then I would look into private schools.
How bad? I just bought in Berewick and it will be about a year before my daughter goes to kindergarden.....I'm more concerned about preschool or pre-k right now. Any suggestions there?
The hubby is going to apply for a transfer as his job is opening a location in Spartanburg, Sc. do you think it's too far to commute? Even from Fort Mill as a previous poster suggested? There are a couple locations in Charlotte that he can eventually transfer to, however he has a better chance of a getting the transfer at a brand new location than one already in existence.

If your husband will be working in Spartanburg...that is way to far of a commute...even from Fort Mill, SC. I am located in the Fort Mill area and to Spartanburg, SC it will take right around an hour and a half. My suggestion would be to go to the SC side of this site for some advice!
Best of luck to you!
