Welcome to Lake Wylie

Lake Wylie, South Carolina is a lakeside community with a friendly, small town atmosphere. It is located close to a regional commercial area, the interstates, the airport, yet just a short drive to uptown Charlotte. It is the perfect setting to live, do business, and the reason it is gaining momentum in development.
 
Recreation is an integral part of the Lake Wylie lifestyle. With 325 miles of shoreline, the lake is ideal for boating, fishing, water skiing and sailing.
 
The temperate, yet wonderfully distinct, seasonal changes not only enhance the area’s beauty, but also afford year-round enjoyment of such outdoor pastimes as golf, tennis and bicycling.
Homes in the area vary in price point based on proximity to the lake and home style. Many neighborhoods are nestled in coves, many with lake access. Apartments and townhomes are booming as well, so there are ample housing types to consider.
