Over the past two decades, strong economic growth has transformed Charlotte, North Carolina, into one of the South's most vibrant and dynamic urban areas, but just across the state line, South Carolina's York County has retained much of its historic rural character.
At Catawba Shores Estates, a new community taking shape along the banks of the Catawba River, residents will enjoy all the benefits of laid-back country living only six minutes from Interstate 77 and half an hour's drive from downtown Charlotte.
This private development offers a total of 163 spacious lots spread along 6,600 feet of wooded riverfront property outside the town of Rock Hill. The master plan includes a choice of riverfront, river-view and interior homesites, most measuring about an acre, with some parcels as large as three acres. All lots are fully supplied with electric, telephone and cable connections.
Homeowners will enjoy a community pool and changing house, walking trails, plus the convenience of living close to the many recreational and cultural attractions of York County and the Charlotte metropolitan area.
