Anchorage
Waterfront Living on the Tega Cay Peninsula
Anchorage is one of the most sought-after pockets of Tega Cay, South Carolina, a waterfront neighborhood tucked onto a cove of Lake Wylie along Anchorage Lane, Topsail Circle, and Mariners Court. Built out mostly between the 1990s and mid-2010s on generous lots, many topping a third of an acre, Anchorage is known around the peninsula for one-of-a-kind homes with private docks, pools, and boat slips, the kind of property where the backyard and the lake are practically the same thing.
The neighborhood carries the same amenities that make the rest of Tega Cay work: lake access, a boat ramp, a nearby golf course, a community pool, tennis courts, a playground, and walking trails, all part of the city's own parks system rather than a private HOA. That mix, genuine waterfront living paired with a top-ranked Fort Mill School District feeder path and a 30-minute run to uptown Charlotte, is a big reason Anchorage regularly posts some of the highest sale prices on the peninsula.

Schools In Anchorage

Tega Cay Elementary
Gold Hill Middle
Fort Mill High
Fort Mill School District (York 04) has grown fast and periodically redraws attendance lines as it opens new schools, like Catawba Ridge High. Confirm zoned schools for your exact address through the district's own attendance zone lookup (fortmillschools.org) before you buy.
HOA & Community Amenities
Anchorage does not carry its own private homeowners association. Tega Cay incorporated as its own city in the 1980s and took ownership of the amenities its original developer built, so the marina, golf course, parks, pool, tennis courts, and even the police and fire departments are funded through property taxes rather than monthly HOA dues. That means Anchorage's waterfront lots, docks, and boat slips come without a private board setting rules or collecting assessments.
Day-to-day recreation still has plenty of structure behind it. Residents can join the city's Beach & Swim Center for pool and fitness access, book the lighted tennis courts, or play Tega Cay Golf Club's 27 holes a short drive from Anchorage's streets. A handful of Tega Cay's condo and townhome pockets do carry their own small HOAs, but Anchorage's single-family lots aren't among them as far as we could confirm; verify HOA status for any specific address before making decisions.
