Chesterfield County Real Estate: The Pageland Advantage

By Carnarri CofieldChesterfield County, SC

If you’re considering Pageland, you’re also choosing Chesterfield County. County-level factors—services, development patterns, and land due diligence—often matter just as much as the house itself. Here’s a clean framework you can use to evaluate the “Pageland advantage” without relying on assumptions.

County context matters: taxes, services, and permitting can shape total cost and long-term planning.

Median

~$168K–$210K

Tax

~0.45–0.51%

To Charlotte

~45 mi; rush 80–105 min

Pageland's median sits around $168K–$210K. Chesterfield County effective property tax is typically 0.45–0.51%. Pageland is about 45 miles from Charlotte—off-peak around 65 minutes, rush 80–105—so it fits buyers who want small-town pace and a lower price point. Verify commute and taxes for the exact address.

What to Evaluate at the County Level

  • Taxes and assessments for the specific property (verify with official county sources).
  • Utilities and service coverage (water/sewer vs. well/septic; internet availability).
  • Permitting and zoning if you plan additions, outbuildings, or land use.
  • Insurance considerations (property-specific, not county-wide guarantees).

Chesterfield County in Context: Lynches River, ATI & the Economic Shift

Chesterfield County had 3.2% unemployment in 2023 and average annual wages around $45,000. Pageland's Lynches River Industrial Park is the focus of new investment: ATI's 2025 expansion adds titanium alloy production for aerospace (nearly 70 jobs, $550,000 Rural Infrastructure Fund grant for county building improvements). "Project Furnace" is committing $64 million and 57 jobs in a 100,000 sq ft speculative building. Phase-one water and road work into the park began in early 2024. Six county solar projects approved in 2023 represent over $473 million in investment and 30-year revenue streams. Older facilities (Chesterfield Yarn Mills in Pageland, Stanley Black & Decker in Cheraw, JoeAnne Narrow Fabrics) have closed; new manufacturing and solar are diversifying the base. The Pageland Progressive Journal (weekly, Pageland) covers local government, schools, and business—essential for zoning, permits, and community updates.

The Bottom Line

Pageland's median sits around $168K–$210K with ~45 miles to Charlotte (rush 80–105 min). Chesterfield offers a lower cost profile, 0.45–0.51% effective property tax, and an industrial base in transition—aerospace, advanced manufacturing, and solar layering on top of traditional employers.

Inventory Mix

Pageland buyers often compare home age, lot size, and HOA presence. Your best fit depends on the property-level trade-offs you can accept.

Land & Rural Due Diligence

If you’re evaluating acreage, add checks like surveys, access, utilities, and use restrictions. Consult qualified professionals for legal/technical items.

Decision Safeguards

Keep your plan compliant and safe: verify what matters, document it, and don’t rely on “common knowledge” in rural markets.
