The Vineyards on Lake Wylie sits along the pretty shores of Lake Wylie just west of Charlotte, North Carolina. Construction by D.R. Horton began in 2007 and mostly wrapped up in 2017, with a few homes built after that. As of now, the Vineyards has nearly 450 properties. Many residents are empty nesters and baby boomers.
One section has single family homes and town homes with a single story, although some residences have the option of a second story bedroom or den. Exteriors are brick and stone, and contemporary Craftsman is the architectural style.
There are six floor plans from which to choose, and sizes range from about 1,356 square feet to 2,755 square feet with three bedrooms and two baths. All dwellings have an attached one or two car garage, and some homes have a front porch.
Homes with two stories have up to 3,256 square feet with three to four bedrooms and two to three baths. An attached two car garage is standard.
Streets are lined with sidewalks and newly planted trees. Lots are on the small side and residences are fairly close together. Numerous homes overlook the water.
Prices start in the high-$300,000s to low-$400,000s. The HOA fee ranges from about $199 per month to $400 per month. Please check with the development or a Realtor to verify these prices as they will change.
Lake Wylie covers 13,400 acres and has 325 miles of shoreline. The Vineyards sits along nearly one and a half miles of that shore. The community has its own private dock, boat slips for sale, a canoe launch and a boardwalk perfect for an evening stroll or a day of dipping the fishing line into the water.
The 7,000 square foot clubhouse, open to all residents, has a ballroom, a fitness center and a business center. Residents also enjoy a beautiful resort-style swimming pool, tennis courts, nature trails and a dog park (Bark Park).
Although The Vineyards has a Charlotte address, it is on the outskirts of the city and really closer to Belmont, North Carolina, which is home to about 10,000 people. Belmont does not have a hospital, but Charlotte has several, and they are accredited by the Joint Commission.
The climate is moderate, with mild winters (temperatures in the 30s and 40s) and warm, sometimes hot, summers with temperatures in the 80s and 90s. On average, the area receives 42 inches of rain and 5 inches of snow per yea

North Carolina:
Sir Walter Raleigh sent English colonists to North Carolina in 1585 and 1587 to settle Roanoke Island. Permanent settlements were established in 1653, and early conflicts included pirate raids, the Quaker-led Cary Rebellion and the Tuscarora Indian War.
North Carolina didn't see much fighting during the American Revolution, but many residents went out of state to fight. A lot of locals were pro-Union and anti-slavery, but the state joined the Confederacy during the Civil War.
The state is the nation's largest tobacco producer, furniture maker and brick and textile manufacturer. Papermaking, chemicals, and metalworking are important to the state economy, too. Most lithium and mica come from here.
Tourists spend more than $1 billion in North Carolina annually. Sporting options include skiing, golfing and fishing. Major attractions include the Great Smoky Mountains, Cape Hatteras, the Blue Ridge National Parkway, the Wright Brothers memorial, Carl Sandburg's home, and an Old Salem re-creation in Winston-Salem. North Carolina's climate is warm and tropical most of the time, but it can be subject to fierce storms part of the year.
Why Choose a 55+ Community?
Most people who choose to live in a 55+ development are looking for a sense of community with other people of similar backgrounds. Many of these developments are gated and guarded, adding to a sense of security. Often the homes are low maintenance or "lock and leave," giving owners the freedom to do things other than mow the lawn, shovel the snow or replace the roof. The biggest draw is often the amenities, ranging from lavish clubhouses to activity directors and championship golf courses, making some developments akin to country club living (or summer camp for adults). While 55+ communities are not for everyone, they continue to be a popular choice for many people.
