Not quite ready for a new home? Thousands more are coming across the Rock Hill region
Thinking about buying a new home? Odds are the Rock Hill region still will have plenty of them under construction when the time comes.
Since the start of October, communities across York and Lancaster counties have seen numerous new subdivision requests. Nearly a dozen of them working through or just finished with approvals would combine for about 2,000 homes and apartments.
Those figures don’t include the thousands of residences approved but not yet built across the region.
Here’s a look at where some of the larger new residential projects may go:
York County
▪ Rock Hill City Council amended an agreement Nov. 11 that could lead to a property sale downtown. The result will be a 300-apartment project on the former Herald newspaper site at Main Street, White Street and Dave Lyle Boulevard. The project, by developer White Point, will take up a block at about 7 acres.
▪ The Fort Mill planning commission recommended a rezoning that would allow hundreds of downtown apartments last month, but Fort Mill Town Council voted Nov. 11 to hold off on a decision until at least January. Williamson Mill would have commercial space along with 225 apartments at Williamson Street, Watson Street and Railroad Avenue. The converted former mill sits on a 16-acre site.
▪ Pulte Homes got the Fort Mill Planning Commission to approve a sketch plan Oct. 15 for the Williams Reserve subdivision. It allows for up to 408 residences as a mix of homes, townhomes and senior living sites. The 78-acre site is at Williams Road, North Dobys Bridge Road and Fort Mill Parkway.
▪ Titan Land Partners asked to put 37 home lots on 212 acres in Lake Wylie. Called Legacy Point, the homes would be off Concord Road on a large peninsula near Catawba Nuclear Station. The York County Planning Commission approved plans Nov. 12.
▪ On Oct. 7, the Tega Cay Planning Commission approved 33 homes on 9 acres, as the latest part of the city’s River Falls subdivision. Homebuilder Taylor Morrison is behind the project at Gold Hill Road and River Falls Drive.
▪ Gladden Builders applied to build 20 homes on 29 acres near York. The Old Hope Farm site is at York Highway and Tirzah Road, opposite the end of Billy Wilson Road. The county planning commission approved plans Nov. 12.
Lancaster County
▪ Riverchase Estate Partners and LGI Homes applied to put 343 more homes in Lancaster County’s Riverchase Estates subdivision. The county planning commission approved the almost 580-acre project last month. The property is west of Riverside Road and south of Cobblestone Way.
▪ Springland, Inc. put a request in with the city of Lancaster for the Scarlet Grove subdivision east of U.S. 521 Bypass. The company needs a special exception to put 319 homes on 117 acres. The city zoning board of appeals will hear the case Nov. 18. The property is between Pageland Highway and Flat Creek Road. It’s part of nearly 1,500 new homes approved in recent months by the city, for buildout in the next 10 years.
▪ True Homes applied to build Eagles Landing, the next portion of Edgewater in Lancaster County. A 66-acre site off Edgewater Parkway and Crooked Stick Drive would add another 125 homes. The larger Edgewater project has about 1,000 homes built, with several large phases remaining.
The county planning commission is scheduled to decide on the plan Nov. 19.
▪ The city of Lancaster’s planning commission held public hearings on two residential projects on Nov. 5. Coulston Enterprises applied to put 66 townhomes on nearly 8 acres at Lynwood Drive, Lymon Reece and Reece roads. A separate decision involves property at 450 Elm St.
▪ On Nov. 12, Lancaster County passed the second of three votes needed rezone property for a subdivision at Lancaster Bypass and Kershaw Camden Highway. BRD Land & Investments, affiliated with Buller River Developments, applied to build on the 27-acre Connor family tract. A sketch plan shows 58 new homes there.
