About York

Equidistant from Greenville and Columbia, South Carolina, York is home to almost 7,000 residents, 80 miles from the larger cities. However, Charlotte, North Carolina, is only 36 miles north and provides most essential resources that are missing in York. A simple hour drive will take residents from York into downtown Charlotte. Founded in 1750, York is the creation of a mixture of English, German, and Scottish settlers who moved to the area from Pennsylvania and Virginia. Today, residents of an apartment or home rental in York find themselves in a largely self-sufficient community with ample stores and resources available in town. However, they appreciate the proximity of larger cities if need be. Still glowing with the warmth of hospitality and camaraderie, York remains one of the most popular communities in the state.

Summerfest is York’s largest community event and is attended by over 50,000 people. With concerts, a golf tournament, art competition, moonlight bike ride, tractor show, children's activities, and other competitions and activities, Summerfest is regarded as the largest 1-day festival in the state. Carolina Crossing Country Club and Spring Lake Country Club, both located on the perimeter of York, provide exceptional golfing at reasonable prices without the crowds that many other cities experience. Residents of a York house or apartment for rent also have access to an extensive recreational program that is organized through the York Recreation Complex. Other attractions include McCelvey Center, Sanders Peach Farm & Roadside Market, and Windy Hill Orchard & Cider Mill.
