Amherst Homes for Sale

Amherst stands out in southern Greer for giving newer construction room to breathe. Most homes sit on roughly half-acre lots, and the neighborhood’s strongest addresses along Amherst Glen Drive stretch larger still, helping the community feel more spacious than many recent neighborhoods near Highway 101. Prices currently run from the upper $300s to about $600,000, with most closed sales landing in the low $400s to around $500,000.

Community Highlights

The housing stock is decisively new, with homes built from 2022 through 2025 and a strong concentration in 2022 and 2023. Amherst is a single-family neighborhood, and garages are nearly universal. Interiors lean toward open kitchens, large islands, granite or quartz counters, luxury vinyl plank floors, gas-log fireplaces, and flex or bonus rooms that can serve as office, media, or overflow living space. Main-level primary suites, double-vanity baths, walk-in closets, and covered patios or decks show up again and again, giving the neighborhood a consistent move-in-ready feel instead of a patchwork streetscape.

Lot size is one of the clearest separators. Nineteen distinct homes sit on 20,037-square-foot homesites, roughly 0.46 acre, while several Amherst Glen addresses push well beyond that footprint and one approaches 0.92 acre. That extra room helps explain why Amherst Glen Drive carries the community’s highest closed pricing, about 3.4 percent above the neighborhood’s distinct-address average, often paired with larger backyards, extended driveways, and occasional three-car garages.
