Affordable Neighborhoods in Summerville, South Carolina

In all of these neighborhoods, you’ll find houses for sale under $150,000.  I’ve listed the communities in order of their affordability – from least expensive to most expensive.  By each community I’ve also put the starting price for the current homes for sale.

Sangaree (prices starting in the $80’s):  Sangaree has some of the most affordable homes in Summerville, SC.  This is also a very large community, so you can usually expect to find about 30 homes for sale in this price range at any given time. 

Flowertown ($90’s):  This community has mostly brick ranch style homes.  You’ll also find large lots in Flowertown, most of which are over a quarter of an acre.

Quail Arbor (under $100,000):  This is also a very large neighborhood.  Most of these are brick ranch style homes, and some of the homes in Quail Arbor are already updated quite well.

Wescott Plantation (under $120K):  Wescott is one of the most popular communities in Summerville.  It is mostly new construction, and most of the homes were built after 2000.  Wescott Plantation also has great amenities including a golf course, a pool, club house, and play park.  Houses in this community go up to the $300s, so it would be a good investment to get in at this price range of under $150K.

Kings Grant ($120s):  Kings Grant has a wide range of home styles, from the brick ranch to contemporary.  Although it is an older community, it has a pool and tennis court that have been renovated recently.

Pine Forest ($120s):  Pine Forest is another brick ranch neighborhood in Summerville.  Pine Forest is a little further out in Dorchester County.  So, if you want to live in a more rural area that is more on the outskirts of town, this may be a good neighborhood to consider.

Blackberry Creek ($130s):  This is a very popular new construction neighborhood being built in Summerville.  Many of these homes have not been built yet, so Blackberry Creek would be ideal for buyers wanting to secure a home now but are not ready to move for at least 6 months.

Scotts Mill ($130s):  has homes built from 2001 to 2006, so they’re quite new.  Also, Scotts Mill is just a short bike ride to downtown Summerville.  Most of these floor plans are two stories, but it is possible to find one story homes.

Summerville Place ($130s):  This is a great starter home community.  These are traditionally styled homes, and many have bay windows in the kitchens or dining rooms.  These were built in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Sunburst Lakes ($130s):  You’ll find homes going up to the $170s right now in Sunburst Lakes, but most are under the $150K mark.  Almost all of these have detached garages.  This community is located off Old Orangeburg Road in Summerville.

White Gables ($140s):  This neighborhood is a favorite among home buyers.  None of the other communities on this list have such distinct home styles.  These are classic designs ranging from Victorian to the Charleston single.  All of these were built after 2000, and you’ll see some that were built even in 2009.  Prices go up to the $300s in White Gables, so it would be great to get a home in the under $150K price range and be able to live in such a nice neighborhood.

Bridges of Summerville ($140s):  This community also has homes in the $300s, so it would make another great investment.  In price ranges under $150K, there will only be a few options.  However, it would be worth a look to see the ones available.  Bridges of Summerville has a community pool, and many of these homes have brick fronts.
