Highwoods Plantation offers a central location since it's off Dorchester Road. With no amenities, this neighborhood is able to keep the HOA fees quite affordable.

The Historic District of Summerville is the only true historic neighborhood in Dorchester County. Although most of these homes date from 1900 to 1950, you'll find occasional homes that were built as early as the 1830's. The most affordable homes in the Historic District are brick ranch style houses from the 1970's and 1980's. Because of the wide range of prices and the low supply of listings, know that it can take several months to find the type of home you're looking for.

Lakes of Summerville is one of Summerville's largest neighborhoods, and amenities include a pool and clubhouse. Here, you'll find both townhomes and single family detached houses.

Legend Oaks Plantation is by far one of Summerville's most popular neighborhoods.

Many of these homes overlook the golf course near the Ashley River.

Myers Mill is only about six miles from historic downtown Summerville, so it's in a great location with relatively easy access to Interstate 26. This neighborhood has a Junior Olympic swimming pool and outdoor pavilion. Also, some of the lot sizes here are comparatively large for newer homes, with more than a quarter of an acre.

Nexton is a new construction, mixed use community that combines residential and commercial spaces. Its location just off Interstate 26 makes it an ideal Summerville neighborhood for commuters heading south towards Downtown Charleston or (going north) to the new Volvo manufacturing campus.

Pine Forest Country Club is one of the most popular neighborhoods in Summerville for newer brick or partial brick houses with large lot sizes. This upscale golf community has been given four stars by Golf Digest, which called it a Hidden Gem of Charleston. Other amenities include a club house, tennis courts, and a Junior Olympic pool.

The Ponds is a new community with a strong emphasis on green space and nature since about 1,100 acres have been designated for preservation. The developers have likened The Ponds to the popular Park West and Dunes West subdivisions of Mt. Pleasant due to its size and upscale amenities.

Reminisce is one of only a few Charleston style neighborhoods in Summerville, SC. Located off Butternut Road, Reminisce features classic home designs with double front porches, nine foot ceilings, and detached garages. Most of these homes have two or three stories, but The Wagner floorplan has a one-story layout option.

Summer Trace has no amenities, which adds to the long-term affordability of its homes (which are well-priced to begin with). Its smaller size also appeals to home buyers who dislike large scale subdivisions. Summer Trace is located just off Trolley Road in Summerville, SC.

Summers Corner is one of the most impressive new construction communities you'll find in Charleston's tri-county area. For buyers wanting a newer home within walking distance of schools and entertainment, this neighborhood is absolutely worth a tour.

Wescott Plantation is the largest neighborhood in Summerville, and it's made up of town homes and also single family homes.

Many of these homes back up to wetlands and/or the golf course.

White Gables is an enormously popular neighborhood because of the charming home styles (it can be hard to find these distinct Victorian, Bungalow, and Charleston styles in Summerville in this price point). The main drawback to this community is the smaller lot sizes. However, many buyers are willing to forego the extra yard space to live here and to get access to such a range of amenities including swimming pool, basketball court, tennis courts, a large club house, play park, and walking trails.
