Construction began in September 2025 on the Medical University of South Carolina Health Indian Land Medical Center along Charlotte Highway, scheduled to open in 2028. This 52-bed facility with comprehensive services—including cardiology, oncology, primary care, and OB/GYN —addresses a critical need for residents who currently travel out of state for healthcare. The medical office building will open late 2026, bringing immediate access to specialists and supporting services like pharmacy and lab testing. Additionally, Piedmont Medical Center plans an emergency department opening spring 2026 near Shelley Mullis Road. Real estate impact: Homes within a 5-mile radius of major healthcare facilities typically see 3-8% higher appreciation rates compared to areas without convenient medical access. Neighborhoods along Charlotte Highway (US-521) and near Doby Bridge will become increasingly desirable for families, retirees, and healthcare professionals. Smart buyers should consider properties in Springfield, Gold Hill, and areas near the new Costco and Lowes Foods developments, which will benefit from the healthcare anchor and growing commercial corridor. Sellers in these neighborhoods can highlight proximity to future healthcare facilities as a major selling point.
