The South end of
the county (Richmond Hill) is growing tremendously. Hundreds of homes are planned for
communities offering everything from “walk to school” locations,
pool/tennis complexes, to deepwater dock facilities. Prices for these upcoming homes
in the south end average about 233,000 for 2005. You can expect to get 3 to 4
bedrooms, 2 or 3 bathrooms, and other usual amenities, including an
attached two-car garage. There are also plenty of existing
homes on the market which begin in the 90,000 price range. Several
factors affect the price of new and used homes in the county. One of the
primary factors is location on waterfront, or
nearby marshland and creeks. Homes will be more expensive in
these natural settings areas.
