Charlotte Observer “Home builders love real estate agents,” said Alan Banks of Evans Coghill Homes. He said lots of buyers think that it’s the other way around, that builders don’t much care for outside brokers and agents. “Buyers seem to think that we view agents as bad news. That’s not true.” Read More

If you were born after 1982 and before 2001, you are in Generation Y and your friends are buying their first homes. Are you?
Times are changing and the kids are moving out. We have learned that Gen Y doesn’t want the same house as their parents (no surprise here, huh?). They want a cleaner, simpler decor, more value and outdoor living space.
USA Today recently reported about this. Gen Y is in the Mood to Buy (Houses). See if you agree. See you at Riverwalk.
Today, the Charlotte Observer took significant notice of Riverwalk in Rock Hill, SC. A River Runs Near It really captures so much of what Riverwalk is all about. The article highlights why this neighborhood is on its way to being home to 1500 families – unequaled Catawba River location, new homes close to Charlotte, lower taxes, biking (lots of biking) and outdoor lifestyle.
“This isn’t a streetscape you will see elsewhere.” We believe that and are building now. Come over and see why the Charlotte Observer thought Riverwalk was noteworthy. We have three new homes for you to tour today!
Now you can have it just the way you want it in your brand new home at Riverwalk in Rock Hill. The Evans Coghill Design Center is open and is located in the Riverwalk Model Home! How convenient for designing, visualizing and creating all the possibilities for your new home!

The possibilities are many as you mix the beautiful colors and surfaces together. Don’t let yourself be limited. It is time to get the colors and look that you want and it can happen here. We feature American Olean tile because of their design styles and enduring value. Read more →
