Many home buyers look for new construction condos because they offer low-maintenance living.  By definition, condos do not have a private yard – instead, all of the owners in a condo community share the green areas, or common areas, throughout the neighborhood.  These common areas are maintained using the monthly regime fees paid by the owners.  Regime fees usually include lawn maintenance, maintenance of the exterior of the building, and access to the amenities.  Most of the newer condo communities on James Island have amenities like a swimming pool, a club house, a fitness center, and tennis courts.

A lot of our clients have opted to buy homes pre-construction in Charleston because they need time to sell their current home.  Building a new home in Charleston usually takes anywhere
