Welcome to Walnut Creek
An amenity-rich, master-planned community that’s on the radar of all luxury-loving buyers searching for a home in the Indian Land area.
From the central clubhouse decked out in the finest resources to the meandering Twelvemile Creek, that enhances the neighborhood’s bucolic feel, and the Walnut Creek community is predicated on a foundation of integrity, beauty, and convenience that puts it at the top of the list for many potential homeowners.
Flush against the border between North and South Carolina, Walnut Creek is incredibly accessible — equidistant from Charlotte Highway and Waxhaw Highway, surrounded by nearby golf clubs, retail, and parks. Potentially the most alluring facet of the community, however, is its plentiful amenities, which include a large clubhouse, zero-entry resort pool, premium fitness center, playgrounds, tennis courts, walking trails, and more.
Walnut Creek’s residential real estate market is saturated in striking, single-family and multi-family homes nestled on spacious lots. Premier home builders and a bevy of plan options allow for a great deal of personalization for those creating a custom, luxury home. However, the high-end style of housing is evident in pre-built properties, too, which meld together traditional grandeur and the thoughtfulness of contemporary design.
What to Love
Local Lifestyle
The developers of the Walnut Creek community set out with the intention of creating an ideal balance between resort-style amenities, high-class luxury homes, and abundant natural landscapes. Today, the lucky residents of Walnut Creek know the fruits of that labor and are not only able to enjoy a picturesque suburban lifestyle as is but are also able to trust the promise of even more refined features to come.
Dining, Entertainment & Shopping
While Walnut Creek is set far enough away from commercial tumult to capture residential serenity, its homeowners are never more than a few minutes from the area’s wonderful retail and dining epicenters. For instance, The Promenade at Carolina Reserve is just ten minutes from Walnut Creek and houses national brands, familiar dining establishments, and lifestyle services.
Elevate date nights by taking that special someone to RedStone, a shopping center that meets luxury theater and dining mecca. As the area's go-to for diverse dining, RedStone features restaurants that range in cuisine from bold international flavors to gourmet sandwiches and popular chains. One standout restaurant among the surplus of deliciousness is Viva Chicken, which dishes out mouthwatering Peruvian fare centered around their signature, charcoal-fire roasted rotisserie chickens.
Still in development, Bridgemill Commons is a rising retail star only 15 minutes out from the homes of Walnut Creek. There are plenty of unique, must-try eats at Bridgemill Commons, including Milkster Nitrogen Creamery for those with an insatiable sweet tooth and That’s Amore for upscale Italian cuisine with a homestyle twist.
Things to Do
The residents of Walnut Creek like to keep an active lifestyle, a preference that’s easily supported by the impressive number of indoor and outdoor recreation opportunities surrounding the community.

In all seasons of the year, Walnut Creek residents are offered a wonderful rotation of social events and festivals hosted by the community of Indian Lake. In the fall, a week-long build-up of enticing activities culminates in the spectacular Fall Festival. A two-day affair, the Fall Festival keeps visitors fed with the best from local vendors, entertained with live performances, and delighted with a rotation of crafts, games, and experiences.
Other notable events throughout the year include the summertime 4th of July Parade, the bright and festive Christmas Parade, and the favorite of gastronomes everywhere — the Carolinas Chili Championship.
