Prescot Village
A walkable village-plan neighborhood of single-family homes and townhomes off Prescott Glen Parkway.
Prescot Village — frequently searched as "Prescott Village" after the Prescott Glen Parkway address that runs through it — is one of the clearest examples of Waxhaw's shift from pure subdivision development toward village planning. Single-family homes built largely in the 2010s sit on a sidewalk-connected street grid rather than a cul-de-sac tree, and the Town of Waxhaw has approved an additional 169-unit townhome neighborhood, Artisan at Prescot Village, within the same plan. That mix matters for buyers: it produces genuine price tiering, from townhome entry pricing into the mid-$600s for larger detached homes, inside a single walkable footprint. Resale inventory here typically shows 2,500 – 3,400 square feet on roughly three-tenths of an acre with garden-level yards and mature street trees.
Prescot Village is the corridor's most pedestrian neighborhood outside downtown itself — dog walkers at dusk, kids on scooters between porches, and a short walk to a coffee or a haircut rather than a car trip.
Prescot Village is searched by buyers looking for a smaller, more walkable-feeling neighborhood within the corridor rather than an estate lot. Its scale and layout make it a common comparison point against townhome and villa product across the state line in Indian Land.
The comparison to South Carolina inventory is where diligence matters most: tax treatment, school district and county services all change across the line. On the property itself, confirm the association's maintenance scope, dues history and any rental restrictions, which are usually stricter in smaller communities.
