Score Breakdown
Our Take
Fort Mill offers excellent public schools and a solid median income, but it’s essentially a car‑dependent suburb with a walk score of 2 and limited local dining and nightlife. If you value good schools and a quiet, safe family environment, it can work; otherwise you’ll miss out on city‑style conveniences.
