The Palisades on Lake Wylie near Charlotte, NC is an exciting new home community with resort style living- year round– one of Terry’s Ten Best Charlotte Communities
The Palisades, a 1600 acre community of new homes in southwest Charlotte sits on a heavily wooded peninsula on Lake Wylie. As I look around Charlotte and the region, I’ve come to believe it is a one of a kind community offering resort style amenities, at Lake Wylie, just 17 miles southwest of Uptown Charlotte.
Homes in The Palisades sell from the high $300’s (Ryland) to very large $3 million homes at the Ranch. If you are new to the area and looking for a luxury community, with affordable amenities, or a home on the equestrian side, all with world class amenities, visit the Palisades. A Nicklaus designed golf course, the Tim Wilkinson Sports Complex for Tennis and fitness, Charlotte United Futbol for soccer (largest club in Charlotte), the 20 stall equestrian center and the Palisades boat club are the highlights of the amenities. All of this within a 30 minute drive to Uptown Charlotte at beautiful Lake Wylie…

NEW Charlotte Homes Over $1Million| The Sanctuary is in First Place in 2008
October 24th, 2008 categories: Buy A Charlotte Home, Lake Wylie NC and SC
The Sanctuary on Lake Wylie is Leading the Charlotte area in New home Sale over $1M after 3 Quarters…
But its a close race… In a year when many thought the Charlotte “over $1M home sale” was dead, three communities have done quite well. The Sanctuary by Crescent Communities has a small lead over the Club at Longview and both have a bit larger lead over The Point on Lake Norman. This is interesting because of the closeness of the race between the Sanctuary and Longview, and the great contrast between the communities.
The Club at Longview is quite obviously a country club, and quite a
spectacular one at that- with the areas only Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, and a clubhouse and “family play center” that is hard to find anywhere at any price. Large homes on long fairways abound. Here is a past Longview Country club post
The Sanctuary takes a different view, and provides space for familes to spread out, to grow, and the ultimate in privacy with homes situated on a minimum of 2.5 acres, many are on 3, 5, or even 8 acre estate sites. (There were 2 waterfront sites at 10 acres each!) More on the Sanctuary here
The compiling of these stats were not entirely scientific. I used the MLS, requested information on any unlisted custom homes, an my own personal knowledge of sales in each. I’ll do better for the year ends!
Cost per square foot? These two Charlotte luxury communities are just about tied-
of the 10 properties for sale at the Club at Longview, the average sales price is $2,131,000 and $307 per sf. The Sanctuary? The 4 homes here average $1,880,000 and $295 per sf.

The Palisades at Lake Wylie- Ryan a Hit under $400,000
August 29th, 2008 categories: Lake Wylie NC and SC
Ryan at The Palisades- Popular Floor Plans Plus Palisades Amenities
Ryan homes offers two communities at the Palisades, Briarcliff and Morningside, in the Palisades, that you can build a new home in the under $400K range, some as low as the 350’s. Offering their sunroom for “free” ( a 15K Option they routinely offer as a throw in) Ryan is offering the new home models people love to buy- even in this market! As other builders wither, Ryan is holding up strong in the Charlotte area and will, more than likely, be the largest volume builder in Charlotte in 2008 again.
Ryan does not build inventory homes, so everything is built to order, taking 5-7
months. They do accept contingencies, and contingencies falling through act as their “inventory.” On the model tour, always ask “What is an option?” because Ryanis notorious for needing $50 to 80k in “option”s other builders often consider standard.
Three caveats to buying a Ryan home? (Summarized from my 10 Essentials for Buying a New Home)
The best homes are part of a bigger community- like these two- at the Palisades. Communities add more to long term value than builders, and the Palisades is a winner, a Terry’s Top Ten Community in Charlotte.
As always - do not buy the first house in (no matter what the incentives) and do not buy the most expensive home in the neighborhood… your best position is always the least expensive home in the most expensive neighborhood you can afford.
Ryan offers Starting prices from the 280’s- Ha! They haven’t sold any below $350K thisyear… and more are in the 390-500K range, depending on the community.
Always have a Buyer Agent represent you. New Home Builders fall into the “trust but verify” group, and an experienced Buyer Agent, a home inspector who makes several visits, and your vigilance will help insure that the new home builder keeps their promises to you– that the promise will become a reality for you and your family.
———————————————————
It is a strong buyers market here in the greater Charlotte area, in the Palisades as well, for new homes and re-sales. Custom homes start in the Palisades from the 700’s and there are a couple of great values in the mid 1.5M range. Thinking about buying a home in Lake Wylie? Lake Norman? Or Charlotte?
