As one of Charleston County’s most affordable markets, Johns Island has experienced a surge in new home communities over the past 15 years, catering to the increasing demand from homebuyers seeking space, value, and Lowcountry charm. Right now two of the best new communities are Sea Island Preserve and Kiawah River. Sea Island Preserve appeals to folks looking for larger lots than you typically find with new construction (ranging from a third to a half acre). Amenities include a resort-style pool, open-air pavilion, pickleball court, playground, putting green, and over 360 acres of land dedicated for conservation with fantastic walking trails throughout.
Kiawah River features premiere homes in an agrihood setting. Residents can enjoy crabbing from the community dock, using the neighborhood boat ramp, hiking nature trails winding the 20 miles of waterfront, and having exclusive access to some of the most luxurious amenities in Charleston.
If you're willing to widen your search to consider resale homes built in the past few years, you should also consider Oakfield, The Arbors in St. Johns Woods, and Woodbury Park. You'll see below all new homes listed for Johns Island, regardless of builder. Some of these houses are completed and ready for move in, while others are proposed construction (meaning that the builder has not broken ground yet). If you'd like more information about the progress for a particular home - or if you want to check for inventory not yet listed on the MLS - please call or contact us online!
