From Belmont to River Hills: Is the Move Worth It? Discover the Lake Wylie Lifestyle

A Friendly Welcome from River Hills

Hi there, and welcome. If you’re living in Belmont and love the small-town charm but want to enjoy a true lakefront lifestyle, River Hills might be calling your name. Located just across the border in Lake Wylie, SC, our gated community offers a peaceful retreat that feels worlds away while staying close to everything you enjoy about Belmont and the greater Charlotte area.

Many of our neighbors here made the short move from Belmont, drawn by the water views, safety, and the close-knit community that makes River Hills special. It’s not just a change of address, it’s a lifestyle upgrade that puts comfort, nature, and connection at the center of your day-to-day life.

A Private Gated Community with a True Sense of Belonging

One of the biggest differences you’ll notice about River Hills is the sense of security and serenity that comes from living in a gated community with 24-hour staffed security. Our friendly security officers keep the neighborhood safe, but they also help create a warm, familiar atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

The tree-lined streets and walking paths encourage you to slow down and enjoy the view. Whether you’re walking your dog, taking an early morning jog, or meeting friends for coffee by the lake, River Hills offers a slower pace that feels refreshing and grounded.
