Daniel’s Orchard of Summerville SC

Daniel’s Orchard is something new and distinctive in Summerville, yet in step with the atmosphere and charm of Historic Summerville.  As their slogan states, “Bringing Summerville back to Summerville” Daniel’s Orchard is one of the new developments that is building homes and townhomes that mirror Summerville & Charleston architecture with sweeping front porches, large open rooms, tall windows, heart pine hardwood floors, detached garages, gas lanterns and double stacked porches.   Many of the homes are reminiscent of houses along Sumter Avenue and the downtown historic area of Summerville.    If you enjoy the architecture that has made Summerville & Charleston into the charming towns we love today,  you may want to look at Daniel’s Orchard. 

Daniel’s Orchard is located directly off of Highway 78, three blocks from Main street, and minutes from downtown.  The SIM group (Sintra Homes & Sintra Development) is in charge of its development and the building of fine quality homes.  In its entirety, the master plan for Daniel’s Orchard includes 60 town homes and 152 single family homes.

Branch Creek of Summerville, SC

Branch Creek

Branch Creek  is conveniently located off of Highway 78 and the Berlin G. Meyers Parkway, and is just one mile from the downtown area of Summerville.  It is desirable for many reasons, among them its close proximity to I-26,  Dorchester District II schools, and its location close to the new restaurants/stores/etc. slated to be built around the intersection of Berlin G and 78. Branch Creek contains homes built by Meridian Builders, Sabal Homes and town homes built by Beazer Homes. Sabal Homes is proud to be building Earthcraft Homes and is featuring a line of eight floorplans with varying elevations. Meridian is no longer building in Branch Creek, but is still carrying inventory homes which are now available for reduced prices.

I received an e-mail this week from Beazer Homes with a report regarding their activity in Branch Creek in June 2008:

“June was a busy month at Branch Creek with 5 new town homes going under contract and a significant increase in model home traffic.  More and more people are asking about the proposed $60 Million Summerville Town Center and CARTA’s new express route between Summerville and MUSC in downtown Charleston.  Both of these proposed amenities will be just steps from Branch Creek at the corner of Hwy 78 and Berlin G Myers Pkwy.  With gas prices at $4/gallon, these buyers want to live “in town” within walking distance to the local food markets, outdoor cafés, shopping boutiques and public transportation…….and Branch Creek is just the answer.” (Kathleen Cook, Beazer Homes)

Carnes Township & Carnes Crossroads

Located between Highway 17A and Highway 176 in Goose Creek, Carnes is on its way to becoming the Lowcountry’s new charming Southern town.  Only 20 miles from historic Charleston, Carnes is under the development of the Charleston based company who brought the beautiful community of Daniel Island to the Charleston area.  The “Daniel Island Company“ is in the process of turning a 2400 acre former timber tract into a beautiful mixed use community with sidewalks, trails, parks, homes, townhomes, condos and a commercial area with shops, restaurants, grocery stores, offices & medical facilities. 

Carnes will eventually be home to 15,000 people with a range of neighborhoods with single family homes, townhomes and condos-all scheduled to be available in early 2009.  Similar to Daniel Island, Carnes will be a “smart growth community” that combines residential and commercial into an area that attracts others to gather there.  The Daniel Island Company has won multiple awards for their work on Daniel Island including the 2007 Award of Excellence from Urban Land institute and the 2004 Best Suburban Smart Growth Community from the National Association of Homebuilders.  Carnes will be developed with the same level of excellence and will bring a wonderful community to the Goose Creek area of Berkeley County.

Carnes Crossroad will be the large downtown area of Carnes.  Designed to be the ”commercial corridor” for the Carnes community, Carnes Crossroad will  be a large, varied commercial district for not only Carnes but the greater Goose Creek community with shops, restaurants, businesses, offices and medical facilities.

Summer Fun in Summerville SC

This past month has been full of fun family times.  My daughter and her two little ones were down for two weeks from the Chicago area.  We spent a week at the beach and then the next one back at home in Summerville. 

I’m enjoying a quick nap with my three month old grandson on the front porch. Does life get any better than this?  Holding him was one of my main jobs while they were down here. I must say, I loved being put to work! 

 

 

 

 

Right before church on Sunday my daughter snapped this shot of my wife and I with the children. My granddaughter was not thrilled about getting photographed for the 100th time. :)  She had an adoring paparazzi.

 

 

 

Near the end of the visit, I showed them the beautiful homes going up in Summerville. Here is one Reality Construction is constructing in Shepard’s Park for a client.

Summerville is acquiring more and more beautiful homes and wonderful people to go with them.  Please let me know if you are interested in the market and moving down to our area by contacting me at Foster@HomesofSummerville.com.  Have a great rest of the summer!
