With over 380 families currently living in the Village of Baxter, the community is expanding again with the opening of a new phase. This newest phase includes Baxter's Town Center and over 200 homes, which will be built within a five minute walk of Market Street, the core street through the Town Center. Market Street will include roughly 130,000 of Baxter's total 500,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and commercial space, including a 60,000 square foot YMCA. A public library, Neighborhood Information Center, elementary school, and an Urgent Care Center are all currently open. The Town Center will add the convenience of restaurants, streetside offices and retail shops to the Village. The Baxter Town Center is a key component of the neighborhood's Master Plan, developed from the initial vision of the Close family of Fort Mill, SC. Alan Marshall, Director of Commercial Sales and Leasing, said, "Baxter Town Center will be quaint, charming and very much like the vision conjured up by the words 'small town living.' It will be a departure from the typical 'power center' with anchor stores."

Four new model homes designed to complement Baxter's vision of a traditional neighborhood are now open in the new phase, as well. Also new to Baxter is D.R. Horton Homes, currently recognized as the nation's fourth largest homebuilder. Baxter homes by D.R. Horton will include Classical, Colonial and Arts & Craft style elevations from 2,500 to 4,000 square feet, and will be priced from the $250s to $400s.

In addition to D.R. Horton Homes, Saussy Burbank, David Weekley Homes and S.E. Miller Custom Homes will continue to build quality homes in Baxter.

The Village of Baxter is a mixed-use neighborhood being developed by Clear Springs Development Company. The 1,033-acre development will include approximately 1,325 homes at build-out, more than 400 acres of open space, and over 500,000 square feet in mixed-use commercial space.
