Our latest editorial note on the association: $2,200 / year. Dues, special assessments and marina fees change, so confirm current figures and read the covenants before contract.
McLean Marina — wet slips and dry stack. Private docks on Lake Wylie also depend on Duke Energy shoreline permitting, water depth at winter pool and cove width — never assume an existing dock is transferable without confirming the permit in writing.
Recently published assignments include Belmont Central Elementary, Belmont Middle, South Point High School. Attendance zones are redrawn periodically; verify the current assignment for a specific address with the district before relying on it.
22 min to Uptown Charlotte. Off-peak drives are shorter; the Buster Boyd Bridge on NC-49 and I-485/I-77 interchanges are the usual pinch points at rush hour.
Homes generally start from $1.2m. Waterfront frontage, dock permits and lot depth drive the widest price spreads; see our quarterly market reports for basin-wide context.
