New homes for sale in South Carolina

Yes, in both the Lowcountry and the Upstate. These are the communities South Carolina buyers searching for retirement communities usually mean. Lennar’s South Carolina active adult communities are designed for homebuyers ages 55 and better. In the Lowcountry, Horizons at Summers Corner | 55+ is a gated community inside the Summers Corner masterplan in Summerville, outside Charleston. In the Upstate, Villas of North Valley is a community for residents ages 55+ in Travelers Rest, near Greenville. Age restrictions apply to the occupants and owners in these communities as permitted under the Fair Housing Act. For some communities that means a designated percentage of the homes must be occupied by at least one person aged 55 years or older, either 80 percent or 100 percent depending on the community. Amenities, maintenance arrangements and social programming vary from one community to the next. Many of Lennar’s age-restricted communities are part of Lennar Lifestyle, and you can learn more about active adult living.

Many Lennar homes in South Carolina include today’s most popular features at no extra cost to you. Without upgrade fees. No surprises. That’s what Everything’s Included® means. It can cover countertops, appliances, smart home technology and flooring. Specific features vary by community and homesite; not all features are included in every home. Ask your New Home Consultant for the features list, and see what’s included for the full program details, or read how Everything’s Included® delivers more value.

Three types across the state. Single-family homes are detached, each with its own yard and entryway. Townhomes and condominiums are attached homes that share walls with adjacent properties and can offer lower-maintenance living. Active adult communities are built for homebuyers 55 and better. What is offered depends on the area.

A master-planned community is a large development laid out in advance, with its own amenities and often several neighborhoods and home types inside it. Lennar builds them in South Carolina, including Summers Corner and Carnes Crossroads near Charleston. Gated communities exist in South Carolina too. Horizons at Summers Corner | 55+, the active adult neighborhood inside Summers Corner, is gated. Access arrangements are set community by community, so confirm with your New Home Consultant for any community you are considering. Existing and proposed amenities vary by community and are subject to change. Ask your New Home Consultant which amenities are currently available or planned. Association dues and what they cover vary from one community to the next.

The advertised price of a Lennar home in South Carolina covers the home and the features included with it. It isn’t a base price waiting for a finished package to be added. The homesite you pick and any structural options still available on that plan will move the number. Closing costs, taxes, assessments and other applicable charges may be additional. Prices, plans, features and availability vary by community and are subject to change without notice.

That depends on the community, the home and how far along construction is. Everything’s Included® provides a package of popular features already included in the price, rather than running you through a long options list, so much of the finished package is already decided. You choose the floorplan, the homesite and any structural options still offered on that plan. A home earlier in construction usually has more of those choices open than one that’s already finished. Your purchase agreement sets out the selections and charges that apply to your home.

Yes. Quick move-in homes are already under construction, and move-in ready homes are finished and available. Both shorten the wait compared with a home built from the ground up. The trade-off is choice, since selections and structural options on these homes are usually already set. What’s available changes constantly, so your New Home Consultant can tell you which homes could close inside your timeframe.

Every new Lennar home in South Carolina is backed by a warranty that includes workmanship, systems, and structural coverage. The warranty documents you receive with your home set out covered items, exclusions and claim procedures. After move-in, warranty and service requests are handled by Lennar Customer Care rather than your sales office.

New construction timelines for a Lennar home in South Carolina can vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of community, your selected floorplan, the availability of materials, weather conditions, and permitting timelines in your area. With this in mind, no specific completion date can be guaranteed at the time of the contract. Your Lennar team can share construction updates as the home progresses. Working to a fixed date? Ask your New Home Consultant about quick move-in homes, already under construction, or move-in ready homes.

In South Carolina, Lennar builds homes to the code requirements in force where the community sits, and local building officials or other authorized inspectors sign off at the stages required by the applicable authority having jurisdiction. Behind that process are decades of Lennar experience building homes across the country. Before closing, you’ll usually walk the finished home with the Lennar team, flag anything that needs attention, and learn how the home’s systems work.

The two are different parts of the state. The Lowcountry covers Charleston and Hilton Head / Bluffton, with the Grand Strand around Myrtle Beach to the north. The Upstate around Greenville sits in the northwest corner of the state near the mountains, and Columbia anchors the Midlands in the center. Pick the region first, then compare communities within it.
