Summerville, SC Homes Priced $150-200K

Most home buyers in the Summerville real estate market are looking in the $150,000 to $200,000 price range.  Because there is such a demand for homes in this price range, builders have developed plenty of neighborhoods to meet this growing demand.  I’ve included below some of the best neighborhoods to consider for this price range.  You’ll find older and newer communities, but the majority of these will be newer simply because most of the homes in this price have been built since the year 2000.  There are over 45 neighborhoods with homes for sale in this price bracket right now, but I’ve narrowed my list down to the top 8.

1)  Legend Oaks Plantation is very popular with buyers because of the look of the neighborhood and the good amenities.  Most of the homes for sale are priced in the $200s and $300s, but you’ll find a short list of ones under $200K.  Some people call Legend Oaks a nicer version of Wescott because they’re both large neighborhoods with full amenities.  Legend Oaks has a golf course, tennis courts, pool, and club house.

2)  The Reserve at Eagle Run has a great selection of homes under construction as well as proposed construction homes.  This means that in many cases, you can choose options like flooring, cabinets, counters, etc.  These are well built homes, and you’ll find quite a few in this price range right now.  Also, The Reserve at Eagle Run is within walking distance to the elementary school and middle school.

3)  Wescott Plantation is the largest neighborhood in Summerville, so you’ll find a wide range of homes for sale.  Starter homes start in the $130s, and prices range up to the $300s.  So, if you buy a home in this neighborhood in the $150-200K range, you’ll be buying into a nice neighborhood where most of the homes are actually a higher quality than yours.  Wescott Plantation has all the amenities a buyer could ask for – a golf course, pool, club house, and play park.

4)  Blackberry Creek is another new construction neighborhood in Summerville.  These have more traditional home styles, and there are quite a few one story floor plans available.  Most of the homes being sold right now are proposed construction, so Blackberry Creek would be ideal for buyers not planning to move for eight or so months.  If you’re wanting to move into your new home sooner, it would be better to consider other communities on this list that have existing homes (meaning that they’re already built).

5)  White Gables is a very popular neighborhood with buyers because of the great home designs.  The Victorian, bungalow, and classic Charleston style homes range in price up to the high $300s.  These homes were built from 2001 to 2009, so they’re quite new.  The biggest complaint about this neighborhood is the lot size, which averages around .15 acres.  If you’re looking for a house with little lawn maintenance, White Gables would be a great place to consider in this price range.

6)  Kings Grant is an older, more established neighborhood in Summerville.  These homes range in price from the low $100s to the high $300s, so there is a range of homes for sale.  Most of these homes were built in the 1970s, and you’ll find many that still need updating.  So, if you’re looking for a fixer upper that you can renovate to match your tastes, Kings Grant would be a great neighborhood to start your search.  The Kings Grant pool and tennis court have just been updated, and a new club house is currently under construction.

7)  Myers Mill is another Summerville community with brand new homes for sale.  You’ll find an occasional pre-owned house, but almost all of these are either proposed construction or are currently being built.  Myers Mill has a pool and is located a little further out in Summerville.  If you’re looking for a one story floor plan, this would be a good community to consider because there are a lot of these floor plans available.

8)  Newington Plantation has homes that were built from the 1970s to the 1990s, so it has a range of home styles.  Newington Plantation has a swimming pool and one of the lowest HOA fees you’ll find in Summerville.  Most of these homes sit on over a quarter of an acre, so the lots are quite large for this price range.
