Fort Mill Reviews
Rating 4.15 out of 5 174 reviews
Overall the city is nice. Good public schools, variety of things to do, quick access to Charlotte (and the airport), only a few hours from both the beach and the mountains. The city is growing and increasing its restraints, shopping, and activities. This however has caused some bad rush hour traffic so getting to work or school and back takes much longer than you might expect. In addition a majority of the roads are not in great condition so you must be careful for potholes and poorly painted roads. Overall, the community offers a variety of events catered towards kids of all ages and adults. It has a wonderful amount of diversity and every person I've met has been extremely caring, helpful, and friendly. Its a great place to raise a family or live comfortably on your own!
Love this place, Cheap cost of living. low taxes, easy access to the local lake. Most people that live down here are professionals that work in Charlotte, so there is a well educated and diverse group of people here. Downtown Fort Mill is quaint but has 2 breweries and a few good restaurants. Great place to do a date night. Fort Mill frequently closes off the downtown area for festivals with live music and tons of vendors. Always a good time! Plus, we have the highest rated schools in the whole state and higher than the Charlotte Metro systems as well.
I grew up in Fort Mill and plan to continue living here as my own family grows! Fort Mill is known for having an outstanding public school system. We also have several grocery store chains, local and chain coffee shops, small town shopping, and great restaurants. Outdoor recreation here includes Lake Wylie and the Ann Close Springs Greenway, which also has a dog park! Fort Mill is very safe and family friendly, which is why I intend to stay long term. It is also conveniently located adjacent to Charlotte, NC, which is a major hub for financial and health care jobs. When I was growing up, both of my parents had health care field jobs in Charlotte and could easily commute to and from Fort Mill.
