Summerville, SC Real Estate Agents
Flowertown has a historic downtown, the region's biggest new communities, and prices that still make sense. We'll help you find the right one.
Living in Summerville
Summerville sits at the top of the tri-county where Charleston, Dorchester and Berkeley counties meet, which is why one town carries three different tax rates and school districts depending on the street. Historic downtown Summerville, with its azaleas, Hutchinson Square and the Saturday farmers market, is the part people picture. The growth is happening north and east of it.
Nexton, off Interstate 26 at exit 197, is one of the largest master-planned communities in the state and still building. Cane Bay Plantation and Carnes Crossroads fill in the Berkeley County side along Highway 176. Closer in, White Gables, The Ponds, Summers Corner and Legend Oaks offer resale homes in established settings. Active listings start around $125,000 and most homes trade between the high $200,000s and the mid $500,000s.
For buyers, the key questions are commute and county. For sellers, the key is standing out from new construction a few miles away. We handle both every week.

Selling in Summerville
Summerville sellers compete with builders offering rate buydowns a few miles away. We price against the last 60 days of resale comps, stage the house to show what new construction lacks (mature trees, a real yard, no construction traffic), and market to the buyers already searching your neighborhood by name.
Military families and Summerville
Summerville is a common choice for Joint Base Charleston families who want a bigger yard. Plan on 20 to 30 minutes to the Air Base from the Dorchester Road side, and 25 to 35 minutes to the Weapons Station from the Cane Bay side. We'll map the commute from any house you're considering.
