CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Del Webb is
planning its second community south of Charlotte, Carolina Orchards by Del Webb in
Fort Mill, South Carolina, which
will feature 722 single-family homes on more than 325 acres of

"Carolina Orchards will join an impressive lineup of Del Webb
communities in the Carolinas," said Jon
Cherry, the Company's division president. "We have had a lot

Planned amenities at
Carolina Orchards will feature a clubhouse, pool, sports courts for
pickleball and tennis, outdoor pavilion, garden plots, and dog
park.
Carolina Orchards will be located just off I-77 and Gold Hill
Road/Springfield Parkway in the historic Town of Fort Mill, just 12 miles south of
Uptown Charlotte, and three miles south of the North Carolina state line. The community is
easily accessible to South
Charlotte amenities and employment centers, the airport, and
an existing Carolina healthcare Medical Center. Carolina Orchards is also within walking
distance of the Springfield Golf Club and the Anne Springs Close
Greenway and Recreation Complexes.
Shopping and neighborhood service centers are plentiful in the
Fort Mill area and most can be
reached in a 5-10 minute drive from the community. Just a short
drive from the community is a new retail and office center,
Springfield Town Center, which features an upscale Harris Teeter supermarket and expansion plans to
include a drugstore and additional retail components.
A site grand opening with completed designer-decorated models
and sales pavilion is planned for spring 2016.
Carolinas: a booming retirement destination
Sun City
Carolina Lakes in Lancaster County, South
Carolina is the first Del Webb community near Charlotte and considered one of the most
successful Del Webb communities in the country. The 3,100-unit
community grand opened in 2006 and has delivered market leading
sales results. It is expected to be sold-out by the end of
2015.
According to Cherry, the Carolinas remain a preferred retirement
and pre-retirement destination for those age 55 and older. "More
than 40 percent of the buyers in Sun City Carolina Lakes were from
the Carolina states while more than 50 percent were from out of
state. We fully expect this out-of-state appeal to continue for
Carolina Orchards. In addition, half of the buyers are still
working, but want to begin the Del Webb lifestyle while preparing
to retire."
