About Baxter Village

Baxter Village is a 1,033-acre master-planned traditional neighborhood development in Fort Mill, York County — about 18–20 miles south of Uptown Charlotte and one of the Charlotte metro's signature New Urbanist communities. Planning began in 1997, construction in 1998, the 70-acre Baxter Town Center opened in 2003, and the community was substantially complete by 2014 with about 1,450 homes built. The developer, the Clear Springs Development Company (owned by the Close family — the same farming and industrial dynasty behind the Anne Springs Close Greenway), brought in CEO Dan Killoren of Celebration Associates (former Disney executives who worked on Celebration, Florida), Urban Design Associates of Pittsburgh for historic-regional design patterns, and LandDesign of Charlotte for the land-use plan (sources: Congress for the New Urbanism, cnu.org; Baxter Village development milestones, revize.com).
