Summerville, SC does not have nearly the selection of townhouses compared to houses. This relatively low supply is a result of the low demand: most buyers for the Summerville area want houses rather than condos or townhouses. However, there are several good options to consider if you’re looking at buying a townhouse. I’ve listed below some of the most popular townhouse communities in Summerville.

Central Commons is one of the best places to look right now for townhouses in Summerville. These have lots of space (most are around 1400 sq ft). They also have great upgrades for the price, like hardy plank siding, hardwood floors, and wooden cabinetry. If you’re looking in the $120-150K price range, you should definitely compare Central Commons to some of the other townhouses on your list because these will probably be some of the nicest you will see for the money.

Lakes of Summerville also has an excellent selection of affordable townhouses in Summerville. Prices right now start just above $100,000. Most of these were built in 2005, so they’re quite new. These are all 2 story, but many of the floor plans have a master bedroom downstairs. The only amenity for this community is a pool.

Wescott Plantation has several subsections with townhouses. The Gates subsection has a setup that is 2 townhouses per building, so every townhouse is an end unit. The Abbey has some of the newest townhouses, and some of these have attached garages. The Orchard and The Farm also have a good selection of townhouses for sale.

Limehouse Villas has brick front townhouses, and some of these have garages. The main drawback to this community is that it is much smaller, so it does not have the amenities (like a pool) that most of the other neighborhoods on this list have.

Daniels Orchard is also worth a look if you’re in a higher price range. These townhouses start in the high $200s and go up to the mid $400s. Most of these were built in 2008, and they have great Charleston style. Some of the end units even have wrap around double front porches.
