Best In South Carolina Real Estate™: Upstate

🏆 Ranked #1 Most Expensive Place to Own in the Upstate — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. Five Forks leads the Upstate in median monthly owner cost at $1,719—not because housing is unaffordable, but because the city has priced in decades of infrastructure investment, resilience planning, and long-term urban quality. This isn’t a flaw; it’s a signal of market maturity. The Upstate’s premium is built on public investment, climate adaptation, and walkability.
