Donna Johnston, of Talk Charlotte Real Estate, is happy to announce that recent listings for her firm include two properties in the much sought after Tega Cay community. Located in York County, S.C., Tega Cay is a suburb of both Charlotte and Rock Hill.
Home to over 7500 residents, the name, Tega Cay is Polynesian for, “Beautiful Peninsula”. The community is located along the banks of the Catawba River and also includes 13 miles of shoreline on Lake Wylie. Even though the town is fairly small, it has an abundance of recreational facilities, including miles of walking trails, 4 parks, 8 lighted tennis courts, 27 holes of golf, numerous athletic fields and of course several access points to watersports and fishing. Thanks to a team of mindful developers, Tega Cay’s natural beauty and gently rolling terrain remain intact with acres of hardwoods, pines, native shrubs and flowers.
When folks are not out recreating on the water, along the trails, greens, courts or fields, residents stay connected with a variety of special events and activities. Golf tournaments, parades, picnics, outdoor concerts, progressive dinners, and kid stuff, make Tega Cay a close-knit community. The town’s combination of amenities and convenience to the greater Charlotte and Rock Hill metro areas explain why Tega Cay is a very popular choice among house hunters. Uptown, Southpark, the Charlotte Douglas International Airport and Ballantyne, are all within an 18-mile drive or less.
Ms. Johnston of Talk Charlotte, also notes that Tega Cay’s appeal has a lot to do with the Fort Mill School District, which ranks number one in the state. Johnston reflected, “The combination of excellent schools, impressive quality of life features, good jobs and a positive economic forecast, further affirm the town of Tega Cay’s motto: It’s the Good Life.”
