Hollister is a Waxhaw, North Carolina community in Union County, with entrances off Highway 84 (Weddington Road) and Lester Davis Road. As of September 6, 2026 it had just three homes listed, priced from $749,900 to $1,297,500 with an average list price of $1,029,133 (Homes by Marco subdivision page). It is a genuinely expensive, genuinely thin market, and the school claim that follows this neighborhood around online traces back to a stamp from the 2014-2015 school year.
Quick answer
Hollister is a large-home community in Waxhaw, NC 28173 (Union County) built from about 2006 into the mid-2010s. Pricing now sits around and above $1 million, inventory is very thin, and the Weddington school assignment everyone repeats needs to be confirmed per address.
- Listed prices: $749,900 to $1,297,500, average list $1,029,133 (Homes by Marco, pulled September 6, 2026)
- Median sale price reported at $1,025,000 (Neighborhoods.com, pulled September 6, 2026)

- HOA: $92 to $98 per month on active listings, roughly $1,100 to $1,180 a year
Where Hollister in Waxhaw sits
Hollister is in Waxhaw with a 28173 ZIP code, inside Union County, and its entrances come off Highway 84 (Weddington Road) and Lester Davis Road (Charlotte Home Seeker community page, reviewed September 6, 2026). That places it on the Waxhaw side of the Waxhaw and Weddington seam, which is exactly why it gets described as both.
Being in that seam has a practical consequence. Two communities a mile apart on Highway 84 can sit in different attendance areas, and the town name in the mailing address settles none of it. Union County assigns schools, not the post office.
The same Charlotte Home Seeker page names Shea Homes as the developer at Hollister and notes construction began around 2006 and paused during the recession before resuming. Homes by Marco records the build window as 2006 to 2015 and Neighborhoods.com puts it at 2006 to 2014, both pulled September 6, 2026. Those are consistent enough to say Hollister was built from roughly 2006 into the mid-2010s, in phases, which is worth knowing because a 2008 house and a 2015 house in the same community will not have the same finishes.
What Hollister homes cost, September 2026
Hollister listings in Waxhaw ran $749,900 to $1,297,500 with an average list price of $1,029,133 on September 6, 2026, across three homes (Homes by Marco). Neighborhoods.com, pulled the same day, reported a median sale price of $1,025,000 and about $236 per square foot. Earlier coverage on this site described the community as an $800,000 to $1.1 million range. That is now low at the top end.

HOA dues and amenities at Hollister
HOA dues on Hollister listings in Waxhaw ran $92 to $98 per month as of September 6, 2026 (Homes by Marco), which works out to roughly $1,100 to $1,180 a year. Earlier coverage on this site quoted about $600 semi-annually, which lands in the same neighborhood as the monthly figure once you annualize it, but a number without a billing period attached is how people end up off by a factor of two. Confirm the amount and the billing cycle in the HOA documents during due diligence.
On amenities, the two sources that agree are worth trusting and the long auto-generated feature lists are not. Both the Homes by Marco record and the Charlotte Home Seeker page for Hollister list a community pool, a clubhouse and tennis or sport courts, with a playground, a pond and walking trails also appearing. That is a solid amenity set for a community of this size, and noticeably lighter than the resort-scale packages at the bigger Waxhaw developments.
School assignment for Hollister, and the date on the claim
Hollister in Waxhaw is served by Union County Public Schools, and multiple listing sources put it in the Weddington attendance area for elementary, middle and high. The catch is where that claim comes from. The Charlotte Home Seeker community page states the Weddington assignment for the 2014-2015 school year. Reviewed September 6, 2026, that is an eleven-year-old stamp being repeated as current fact across the internet, this site’s own earlier version included.
Union County has redrawn boundaries repeatedly since 2015 as the southern end of the county filled in. The Weddington assignment may well still hold for Hollister. It is not something to take on faith from a listing page. Run the exact street address against the Union County Public Schools attendance boundary maps, then confirm with the district Office of Student Assignment on 704-296-1005 extension 4090 and confirm all three levels yourself. That is the only source that governs.
The earlier version of this page also gave each Weddington school a 10 out of 10 rating from a third-party ratings site. Those scores are recalculated periodically and I could not verify the figures in this run, so they are gone rather than repeated.
The tradeoff at Hollister
The real drawback at Hollister is inventory, and it cuts against you in both directions. Three active listings as of September 6, 2026 means that when you buy, you have almost nothing to compare against, and appraisals in a community this thin often look outside the neighborhood for comparable sales. When you sell, one neighbor’s aggressive price becomes the market. Small communities with big price tags carry more pricing noise than their owners expect.
Second, the price of entry has moved. A median sale around $1,025,000 puts Hollister in a bracket where the buyer pool is genuinely smaller, and homes at that level in Union County can sit longer than the fast-sale stories suggest. I removed the days-on-market figure from the earlier version of this page because I could not source it in this run.
Third, if the Weddington school assignment is the reason you are paying Hollister prices, verify it before you write the offer rather than after. That is the whole premise of the price at this address, and it rests on a claim nobody has re-dated in years.
If you are still deciding between this pocket and the rest of the town, the Waxhaw town guide from The Longleaf Group lays out how the different sides of Waxhaw price against each other.
How Hollister compares nearby
On the Highway 84 corridor, what separates one community from the next at this price is usually lot size and school assignment rather than the houses themselves, which are broadly similar 2000s and 2010s construction. Hollister’s pitch is larger homes with a working amenity set at a Waxhaw address near the Weddington line. What it does not offer is the acreage that people picture when they hear this part of Union County.

Frequently asked questions
How much are homes in Hollister Waxhaw NC?
Listed prices ran $749,900 to $1,297,500 with an average list of $1,029,133 on September 6, 2026 (Homes by Marco), and the reported median sale price was $1,025,000 (Neighborhoods.com, same date). With only three homes listed, expect those figures to move sharply on a single transaction.
Is Hollister zoned for Weddington schools?
Listing sources say yes, but the most specific source found states the Weddington assignment for the 2014-2015 school year, which is too old to rely on in September 2026. Union County Public Schools has adjusted boundaries since. Confirm the exact address against the UCPS attendance boundary maps, then confirm with the district Office of Student Assignment on 704-296-1005 extension 4090 before making an offer.
What is the HOA fee in Hollister?
Listings showed $92 to $98 per month as of September 6, 2026 (Homes by Marco), roughly $1,100 to $1,180 annually. Some sources quote about $600 per payment on a semi-annual cycle, which annualizes to a similar number. Confirm both the amount and the billing period in the HOA documents.
When was Hollister in Waxhaw built?
From about 2006 into the mid-2010s, in phases, with a pause during the recession. Homes by Marco records 2006 to 2015 and Neighborhoods.com records 2006 to 2014, both pulled September 6, 2026. Shea Homes is named as the developer.
How many homes are in Hollister?
A figure of just over 100 homes circulates widely, including in this page’s earlier version, but I could not confirm it against the HOA or Union County records in this run, so I am not stating it as fact. What is confirmed is that only three homes were listed for sale on September 6, 2026.
How big are the lots in Hollister?
Earlier coverage reported an average of roughly 0.4 to 0.5 acre. I could not confirm that from a primary source in this run, so treat it as reported rather than verified, and read the actual lot dimensions on the plat for any specific address.
