Million-dollar shopping sites and more new homes top Rock Hill region’s biggest sales
New places to live and Indian Land retail sites dominated the high-end property sales across the Rock Hill region in June, a review of county public records by The Herald found.
More than half of the two dozen sales of $1 million or more in York, Lancaster or Chester counties involved individual home sales, according to county land records.
The most expensive among them was a $2 million sale of a Rock Hill home on the shores of Lake Wylie. Several more properties sold for home subdivisions, senior living or mobile homes.
Beyond residential sales, most of the area’s activity came at shopping sites off Charlotte Highway, or U.S. 521, in Indian Land.
