York County Reviews
Rating 3.89 out of 5 18 reviews
I thoroughly enjoy living in the county, there is a variety of self-owned businesses that are very trustworthy and ties into the nature of how hardworking and determined the people of our communities are. One thing I would like to see change is smoother roads, although they aren't dangerous it would be nice to have smoother drives.
York County is a small intimate town that is family friendly. It is perfect for a conservative country lifestyle. It is perfect for raising a family. York County is very reasonable when it comes to the cost of living, which is why the number of residents are increasing. York County is filled with historical beautiful sites like the York County Museum, Brattonsville, and McDowell Park that overlooks lake Wylie. It’s a sure place to fall in love with. If you’re located in York County that means you’re only a hop, skip, and a small drive away from Charlotte, NC. Home of the Carolina Panthers and the Charlotte Hornets. We also can’t forget about all of the luxurious restaurants and all the events that take place in Charlotte. York County is the only place you can call rural and urban at the same time. York County is beneficial to all if it’s citizens. There’s no place like York County. It’s home.
It is a nice place to live and that can be seen by the quick growth in our community. The schools are excellent in this area, which is another reason for the growth. However, the thing that needs to be changed is an increase in the number of schools to keep up with the growth.
