Del Webb at Cane Bay entry

As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) in the Charleston SC market, Debra Whitfield has found Del Webb Charleston to have all the pluses that are of interest to active adults. Del Webb Charleston offers a small town charm and welcoming atmosphere for ages 55 and better in the desirable historic Charleston, SC area. The Del Webb Charleston community is situated on 360 acres conveniently located just outside the Summerville area off Hwy. 176 in the Cane Bay Plantation development. Del Webb is a member of the Pulte Homes family, a partnership that has created generations of satisfied customers and built nearly 500,000 homes. The Del Webb Cane Bay Resort is offering over 1,000 single family homes with 10 one-story floor plans to choose from, with a variety of options, and at affordable prices you won’t believe.

Debra has been impressed with the way Del Webb has included many standard features that are considered Universal Design items, such as door handles instead of knobs, high bathroom countertops and wider doorways which are all important to Aging in Place. The neighborhood boasts an impressive 24 hour manned-gated entry and offers residents and their guests a 20,000 square foot recreational facility, “The Resort”. A few of the amenities offered are a state-of-the-art fitness center, heated indoor & outdoor pools, indoor & outdoor hot tubs, sundeck, tennis, bocce courts, and pickle ball courts, fishing pier, fire pit, dog park, and various multi-purpose rooms for crafts, classes, and workshops. Another great benefit of living in this Del Webb community is the “lock and leave” lifestyle for those who like to travel, but hate the worry of yard maintenance, etc. while they are away. The monthly HOA fee covers your lawn maintenance so your home will look beautiful no matter if you are gone days or months at a time. To learn more about Del Webb Charleston, contact Debra Whitfield.

The Ponds in Summerville SC

Welcome to The Ponds

There are a multitude of different types of neighborhoods in Summerville, SC, a charming town just outside Charleston. But one development that has set itself apart is The Ponds. Surrounded by natural beauty that only the Lowcountry can provide, it offers many amenities that other neighborhoods cannot while still offering moderately priced homes for sale.

Originally a rice plantation and farm dating back from the 1600’s, the developers of The Ponds have preserved much of the character and beauty of the area. For instance, the historic farm house was renovated and is now the amenities center for the neighborhood. There is a non-profit conservancy which is dedicated to protecting the 1000 plus acres of woods and natural area surrounding the neighborhood. Keep in mind that to this end, covenants and restrictions require a transfer fee on the sale of property within The Ponds in order to fund this organization. The community enhancement fee, as it’s called, is 1/8 of 1 percent of the gross sales price.

The Y in The Ponds

An 11 acre field, miles of walking trails as well as an ampitheatre at the foot of the 20 acre lake are just a few of the incredible amenities that this neighborhood has to offer. Additionally, there is a community pool and pavilion as well as a relatively new YMCA near the entrance to the neighborhood.

Currently there are five different home builders within The Ponds offering a variety of price points. Harbor Homes has plans that start in the 190’s with prices for other homes and builders going well into the 300’s. Lots for custom built homes are also available. All home plans are in keeping with the southern charm that Summerville and the Lowcountry are known for.

Home in The Ponds

Home sites are quite small with ”row” style homes sitting on .07 or .08 of an acre. Larger homes are typically on larger lots around .25 of an acre with a few custom home sites being larger. On the one hand, yard maintenance is at a minimum for the home owner with smaller lots allowing time to simply enjoy the available amenities. On the other hand, you have to really embrace the idea of community to live in a neighborhood like this.

Located within the sought after Dorchester 2 School District, The Ponds is just minutes from Historic Downtown Summerville with it’s charming shops and restaurants. Further up Main Street are all the big box stores and restaurant chains that most of us are familiar with. Downtown Charleston and area beaches are within 45 minutes. This lovely neighborhood is also within commuting distance to both bases, Boeing and Bosch.

Cottages at Shepard Place

GC Neighborhoods — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 16:15:10 +0000

The proximity of the homes to the central district of historic Summerville and the quaint village market is unparalleled. The historic village of Summerville, also fondly known as the “Flowertown in the Pines,” was once an escape for plantation owners from the mosquito-laden marshes of the South Carolina lowcountry. Not lost on the former plantation owners, many young, as well as empty nesters are escaping to enjoy all Summerville has to offer. Land values in the area have experienced significant increases in the last few years. The demand for housing is high but land for new homes is extremely limited. These facts make the opportunity for future value in this neighborhood a certainty. For those who cherish the experience of “small town” living at its finest in Summerville, The Cottages at Shepard Place by Traditional Homes offers the last opportunity to make an investment in a home at this price point. Homes begin in the $250’s.
