• Dwelling coverage. Make sure it reflects rebuild cost, especially for custom or larger homes.

• HOA and townhomes. If you own a townhome, find out what the HOA master policy covers.

Pineville homes and renters

Pineville includes older homes near its small downtown, plus newer apartments and townhomes. Renters insurance is inexpensive compared with homeowners insurance and covers your belongings and personal liability. Little Sugar Creek and McAlpine Creek flow through the area, so check flood maps if you're nearby. Flood isn't covered by homeowners or renters policies.

Moving across the state line

Many people move between south Charlotte and Fort Mill or Rock Hill in South Carolina. If you move states, your auto policy must meet the new state's rules, and your homeowners policy is written for your new state. North Carolina requires 50/100/50 liability for policies issued or renewed on or after July 1, 2025. South Carolina's minimum is 25/50/25. We're licensed in both states and can help with both.

Driving in south Charlotte

I-485, US-521 (Johnston Road), and NC-51 carry heavy traffic. Underinsured motorist coverage is now part of every North Carolina policy, so you're protected if a driver on Johnston Road hits you with too little insurance. Consider limits above the minimum if you own a home.
