Indian Land Homes

The community of Indian Land begins at the South Carolina state line where Charlotte’s Ballantyne community ends. Indian Land is part of Lancaster County and has outpaced the growth of Charlotte, one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, according to the U.S. Census. While Charlotte grew 43% from 2000 to 2014, the population in Indian Land, just south of Charlotte’s affluent Ballantyne neighborhood, soared 209%, more than tripling in size. The demand for Indian Land is evidenced by the fact that nearly 46% of Lancaster County’s 79,515 residents in 2014  were born outside of South Carolina. Indian Land is also quickly becoming a corporate “headquarters destination.”

Students in Indian Land are served by four public schools in the Lancaster County School District. Those schools include Harrisburg Elementary, Indian Land Elementary, Indian Land Middle School, and Indian Land High School.

Both Indian Land High School and Indian Land Middle School have earned recognition as Red Carpet Schools, recognizing their success in creating family-friendly school environments and excellent overall service.

Harrisburg Elementary School was recognized as a National School of Character for 2017 and is ranked by Niche.com as the #1 elementary public school in Lancaster County, SC. Van Wyck Elementary School opened in 2018 to serve the southern end of Indian Land and the neighboring town of Van Wyck.
