The Ponds in Summerville, SC

A Very Active Community with Full Amenities

The Ponds originally had about 8 different builders when it was started in 2007, so there was a huge range of designs in the community’s beginning. This is a rare case among Summerville’s neighborhoods where buyers tend to prefer pre-owned homes over new construction. We hear again and again from buyers that pre-owned homes in The Ponds have more character and variety in floor plans compared to the new construction being built right now. However, the new homes are more affordable. The best way to understand these trends is to see both pre-owned and new homes so that you can see for yourself whether the new ones are too cookie cutter for your taste. The biggest draws for living in The Ponds are that it’s self contained, and it offers endless outdoor entertainment options. The original concept was to balance smaller lots with tons of nature. You’ll find many miles of walking trails in the 1,100 acres that will be preserved. In addition, there are 2 fishing ponds, an outdoor amphitheater that hosts community events, an old farmhouse that has been turned into an amenities center, a zero entry saltwater pool, and a kids’ treehouse built by a master builder around one of the old oak trees on the property. Residents love that The Ponds is such a social neighborhood, and you’ll find constant activity whether neighbors are riding on golf carts, at the pool, or kayaking.

The Ponds Homes for Sale in Summerville, SC

The Ponds is consistently a top pick among home buyers when we give them a tour of neighborhoods in Summerville. This master planned community has the feel of a small town surrounded by natural beauty. About 1,100 acres will be preserved, which is more than half of the total acreage of the development. The developers preserved a surprising amount of nature considering it's so new, and there are lots of parks throughout. Home buyers tend to love the pond settings, the large oak trees, and the park-like common areas spaced throughout the neighborhood which help to off set these smaller lots. There's a 19th century historic farmhouse that serves as the focal point of the amenities center. In addition to a saltwater pool and picnic pavilion, there's also an amphitheater overlooking one of the community ponds. A YMCA is conveniently located within The Ponds (pictured below), and residents get a discount which gives them even more amenities like a gym which are not part of The Ponds amenities. The YMCA offers great programs for kids plus fitness classes like Pilates for adults. For buyers who like to jog, bike, or walk the dog, there are many miles of walking trails without ever having to leave the neighborhood.

In addition to good amenities and a scenic setting, The Ponds is also known for its classic floor plans with upgrades such as hardy plank (or cement plank) siding, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and hardwood floors. These spacious floor plans usually offer 3 to 5 bedrooms, 2 to 4 baths, 1400 to 4500 square feet, and 2 car garages. Although almost all of these houses are 2 story, you'll find floor plans with master bedrooms upstairs as well as downstairs. Note that there are 2 subsections in The Ponds (Carillon and Cresswind) designated as 55+ communities, and most of the 1 story floor plans are concentrated in these sections.

The Ponds is ideal for home buyers wanting upscale, newer homes zoned for the highly desirable Dorchester 2 School District (Knightsville Elementary or Sand Hill Elementary depending on the address, Gregg Middle, and Summerville High).
