The legendary Catawba River originates in the regal mountains of North Carolina, and it meanders through a series of lakes and free flowing stretches for hundreds of miles. Named after the Catawba Indian tribe, its name translates to River People.  The Catawba Indians and their ancestors lived in the river valley for more than 10,000 years. They called themselves, Yap Ye Iswa, or People of the River.  As the river offered them the gift of clay, the Indian tribe learned to mold and shape the clay into artistic treasures.  Their stunning pottery is now honored at the Smithsonian Institute.

The Parks might fit into the range of some first time home buyers and you can definitely use an FHA loan to purchase here but for the most part I believe The Parks should be considered a middle move up community or a retiree/empty nester move down neighborhood.  The Parks is located close to the heart of downtown Rock Hill, it is close to the Piedmont Medical Center, and is very close to most anyone’s shopping and dining needs.  The homes run from a little over 2000 square feet to just under 4000 square feet
and start in the 210K’s.

Outside of the great location in Rock Hill, Newport Lakes has a lot to offer.  Yes, it does have what they call a lake but I think if we are going to be honest it’s more of a pond.  As of right now there aren’t too many of the amenities in place but considering how much space they have there should be ample room to have walking trails and maybe a nice playground.

 The styles of homes in Newport Lakes are typical of Truehomes style.  Mostly three, four, and five bedrooms ranging from 1700 square feet to over 3000 square feet.  Some ranch but mostly two stories with one or two garages.  The bigger difference will come with the Tribute home styles.  It is my understanding that all of them are ranches and have many upgrades inside.  Some are two bedroom and others are three.  There are even a few floor plans with a bedroom upstairs.  Some call it a bonus, others call it a FROG. 

 The Tribute side is being billed as a retirement option that will give you the upgraded lifestyle you want without sacrificing affordability.

One of the many things I like about this neighborhood is the friendly neighbors.  I have family that live in the area and everytime I drive through I always see someone walking for exercise or walking the dog or kids playing in the yards or even sometimes the street. You get the feeling that if you move in there will be someone coming by the house with a cake or pie to welcome you to the neighborhood. 

The location is a main seller of this neighborhood also.  With so many attractions in the area, not to mention the proximity of Charlotte it is always nice to have a home base that is convenient to just about everything.  Hidden Forest is close to schools, grocery stores, shopping, dining, and I-77 will take you wherever you would like to go.
