Lancaster Real Estate & Homes for Sale in South Carolina

Lancaster Real Estate & Homes for Sale

Forty miles south of Charlotte, North Carolina is the intimate and historic community of Lancaster. Called the “Red Rose City,” this beautiful area is in the heart of the Olde English District, a tourism region that encompasses seven counties at the north end of South Carolina. Real Estate options consist of varied single-family homes for sale, large estates and land to custom build. The city of Lancaster and the surrounding region has a long and storied history dating back to the English settlement in the 1770’s. Even though this area has its eyes on the future, the community has kept its quiet charm, one that is reminiscent of simpler times. With a population of about 8,000, it is still a fairly small community. Located near the intersections of State Routes 9 and 903 and U.S. Route 521, the community has convenient access to the cultural and recreational opportunities throughout the county and the state. The city also has a surprisingly strong local economy, bolstered by the presence of three large corporate headquarters: KMG America, Springs Industries and Duracell. Much of the local area's visual appeal is in its attractive downtown district. Landmarks include two buildings designed by Robert Mills, the creative mind behind the Washington Monument. The city is also considered a shopping and dining destination, offering a mix of independently owned and national restaurants as well as shops. Those aged 55 and older, the Sun City Carolina Lakes community is also located in Lancaster County. Sun City features many resort-style amenities and a variety of single-family homes and villas available for purchase.
