Lake Wylie

Lake Wylie is the name both of an expansive man-made lake and a census-designated community on its shore. The lake’s surface spans 13,400 acres, with 325 miles of shoreline winding around its shoreline. This huge freshwater body is partially located in both North and South Carolina, spanning from the NC counties of Gaston and Mecklenburg into the SC county of York.

 

While the place named Lake Wylie is technically nestled inside South Carolina’s York County, its proximity to Charlotte means it’s typically considered a suburb of the Queen City.

 

The town of Lake Wylie shares the 29710 Clover zip code and belongs to the outstanding Clover School District. The town is situated on the south side of Buster Bridge, conveniently located along Highway 49.

With large lots lying secluded behind mature tree cover, Lake Wylie provides a splendid sense of isolation and serenity. Some of Lake Wylie’s lakefront properties are equipped with docks, allowing their owners unencumbered access to the lake’s surface.

 

Lake Wylie has a population of less than 10,000, providing it with a small-town sense of calm and quiet, while all the attractions of big city Charlotte are a short drive away. The small population, gorgeous setting, and proximity to Charlotte all mean that homes in Lake Wylie are typically in high demand.
