Nexton, Berkeley County
A 5,000-acre mixed-use community in Summerville where homes, shops, offices, and 60-plus parks share one walkable plan.
Nexton was designed as a different kind of Lowcountry community: a 5,000-acre mixed-use plan in Summerville where homes, offices, retail, and parks share the same street grid. More than 12,000 residents call it home, and the design encourages walking, biking, and the golf cart as a legitimate vehicle.

The Overview · Continued
Nexton was designed as a different kind of Lowcountry community: a 5,000-acre mixed-use plan in Summerville where homes, offices, retail, and parks share the same street grid. More than 12,000 residents call it home, and the design encourages walking, biking, and the golf cart as a legitimate vehicle.
Nexton Square, the town center that opened around 2020, anchors the community with destination restaurants and shops on a walkable main street. Residents have more than 50 parks countywide and miles of trails, resort-style pools, and the Midtown clubhouse on the amenity list, with a hospital campus rising nearby.
The builder lineup is one of the deepest in the region, with more than 100 home designs across a dozen builders, from townhomes to single-family estates.
Schools
Nexton is served by the Berkeley County School District. Nexton Elementary and Midtown Middle School sit within the community, and the high school zoning draws primarily from Cane Bay High School. Confirm the current feeder pattern for the exact address, since zoning can shift as the community grows.
Commute & Location
Nexton sits about 25 miles from Charleston off I-26 at exit 199B, which keeps the downtown commute in reach while the community's own daily life stays local. Summerville's core is just minutes away.
For Buyers
Nexton, through a buyer's eyes
Nexton attracts buyers who want the amenities of a resort community with the convenience of a town center outside their door: young families, professionals who split time between home and an office, and relocating buyers who value walkability. The 55-and-older and active-adult sections add another layer of choice.
New Construction
What's being built
With a dozen builders active at once, Nexton is one of the best places in the Tri-County to comparison shop new construction. I help buyers compare base prices, incentives, lots, and completion timelines across builders, and I verify what the neighborhood experience will be like once the construction dust settles.
