The latest $1 million property sales include land near old Charlotte Knights stadium

More than 20 million-dollar property sales last month in the Rock Hill region include a town home site near the old Knights Stadium in Fort Mill, a Riverwalk event venue in Rock Hill and a seminary location near a movie theater.

About half of the high-dollar sales are homes.

Land records in York, Lancaster and Chester counties show a busy month of sales. Here’s a look at the ones that topped $1 million:

Last summer the York County planning commission approved preliminary plans for 95 townhomes on the site.

The larger development Southbridge will combined office, residential and other land use where the Charlotte Knights minor league baseball team once played just off Interstate 77 in Fort Mill.
