Market Data as of October 2026
The Belfry is so small that sales are rare, and no sale was recorded here over the most recent twelve months. That makes pricing a home here a matter of looking at similar larger-lot homes nearby and adjusting for the specific home, lot, and updates. Call 803-243-0224 and we'll build a comparison for a home you're considering.
Community details on this page come from Lexington County public property information, current listings, and the Lexington One school locator, checked October 9, 2026. Ask us for the latest comparable sales and any recorded neighborhood restrictions.
Types of Homes
The Belfry is single-family homes only. Most have four bedrooms, with a few three- and five-bedroom homes, in two-story and story-and-a-half plans, and all have brick or brick-and-siding exteriors. A few have private pools.
Homes were built over about fifteen years, mostly in the mid-2000s, so condition and updates make the difference. Lots are generally about three-quarters of an acre, so ask us how a specific home sits on its lot and what it backs to.
Neighborhood Amenities
The Belfry is gated, and its homeowners association handles road upkeep, green spaces, and shared grounds, and in some listings street lights. There isn't a community pool or clubhouse that we have found.
We can't publish the association's rules or current dues here, because they change. Ask us for the latest association documents, and how the gate works, before you write an offer.
Shopping, Dining, and Recreation
The Belfry is off Old Cherokee Road in the Lexington area, so everyday shopping, medical offices, and restaurants along Highway 378 and in Lexington are convenient, and Lake Murray's boat ramps are close. See our Patrick's restaurant recommendations for places we like to eat around the Midlands.
Tell us what you want close by — groceries, dining, marinas, or a particular commute — and we'll show you the options from the exact address you're considering.

Home Prices
Homes in The Belfry were built over about fifteen years and there are only 15 of them, so price depends heavily on the specific home, its lot, and its updates. We don't publish a single neighborhood average, because one number would be misleading for a community this small.

The Belfry is not a waterfront neighborhood. None of the homes sit on Lake Murray, so you won't find lakefront lots, lake views, or shoreline rules here, though the lake is close.
FEMA's current flood map shows the neighborhood as minimal flood hazard, but flood maps are updated over time and conditions vary by lot. Ask us to check the flood map and insurance requirements for any home you're considering.
Lake Murray Access
We haven't found a community dock, boat ramp, or slip that belongs to The Belfry, so plan on launching from a public ramp or marina. Our Lake Murray boat ramps and access guide covers public launch options around Lake Murray.
If you want to be on the water, tell us and we'll show you the nearby lake neighborhoods that are. If you're counting on a specific way to reach the lake, we'll confirm it before you make an offer.
