May 27th, 2008 Categories: South Carolina, Terry's Top Ten New Home Communities
Over 55, Active Adult Real Estate in the Greater Charlotte Area. If you want amenities, Sun City Carolina Lakes in close-in SC is the real deal.
A client of mine saw this entrance and fell in love. (Pic taken on a fall grey day) That client closes next week! Congrats Nancy and John!
This is Part II of a series on Over 55 Active Adult communities in the “Greater” Charlotte, NC area… see part I, Four Seasons, here. So whats the attraction?
The climate obviously, golf is a 360 day sport here… some have grand kids living in Charlotte, some just think Florida is too hot (and hurricane prone) others love the ridiculously low property taxes…But really, it is all about the lifestlye... all the conveniences of city living in a golf -suburban setting, 25 minutes from a major Southeastern US city. 
Home Sales Starting to Move at Sun City Carolina Lakes
In the last 30 days, 2 homes closed, but 13 went pending- new contracts. Fence sitters are leaving the fence! There are several re-sale homes worth paying attention to, because they are on fantastic lots. I saw these earlier in the week in advance of a client coming to town.
The first is on Legend Oaks, it backs to the woods, and has a finished walkout basement. Almost 3900 sf, 3 be
drooms, 3 bath (easily a 4th if you needed it) the popular Willow Bend model, with stone front… Asking 422,000, I’d try 390K to get started.
Another is on Grandview, just a few doors down from the $500K models and sits on the golf course, this is also a Willow Bend, but with no basement coming in at about 2100 sf. Easy walk to the amenity center, or sit on your deck and watch the golfers go by. Excellent condition, many custom upgrades, sensibly priced at $375,850 , lets try $365,000.
Amenities- let me count the ways…
18 holes of golf/putting greens and driving range
8 Tennis courts, 4 Bocce Ball
40,000 Square foot amenity Center includes: indoor and outdoor pool, exercise (equipment) room, exercise class rooms,Potting and woodworking, billiards, card tables (always a game) multiple meeting rooms (always a club) miles of walking trails, biking trails and this year opening a canoe/kayak center on a Catawba branch… not to mention our major grocery chain is building a grocery store now within golf cart 
distance- at the main entrance of Carolina Lakes! Yea Harris-Teeter.
There are great deals on new home inventory as well, though many of the lots are more challenging- but Pulte is making deals happen. I can help you there as well.

We had the opportunity to connect with Terry McDonald as a result of an online search that my wife conducted while still living in Illinois. Over the period of many months, Terry was incredibly helpful in providing us with information and numerous leads that helped us to narrow down our choices. When we finally had the chance to visit Sun City Carolina Lakes, Terry was prepared to zero in on our specific houses. A choice having been made, he stood by us as we began the tedious financing, closing and moving process, all long distance as we were still out-of-state. We cannot begin to thank Terry enough for the superb job that he did-going way beyond the norm. His professionalism, dedication and overall demeanor contributed to an exceptional and seamless experience. This last comment is particulary pertinent because of Terry’s patience with me, a sometimes less than reasonable client. All-in-all, we recommend Terry McDonald highly for all of your real estate needs!
