Fort Mill's proximity to Charlotte makes it a top choice for professionals working uptown, with commutes ranging from 20-35 minutes depending on neighborhood location. Here's where to buy based on your commute priorities: Fastest commute: Neighborhoods along Fort Mill Parkway near I-77 offer 20-25 minute drives to uptown during off-peak hours. Areas near the Gold Hill Road exit provide easy highway access with homes in the $450K-$600K range. Best value: The Tega Cay area offers waterfront lifestyle with 30-minute commutes, providing lake access and resort amenities while staying under the median Fort Mill price point. Consider homes in the $400K-$500K range for optimal value. Park-and-ride convenience: Neighborhoods within 5 minutes of the planned transit corridor along Highway 160 position you for future light rail expansion. This includes areas near Baxter Village and the Kingsley Town Center. Remote workers: If you commute only 2-3 days weekly, explore neighborhoods farther south like Indian Land where you'll find larger lots, newer construction, and lower price points. The trade-off of an extra 10 minutes pays dividends in space and amenities. Traffic peaks 7-9 AM and 4:30-6:30 PM, so flexible schedules make any Fort Mill neighborhood highly accessible. The I-77 toll lanes provide reliable 25-minute commutes for $3-$8 daily.
