Summerville Homes - Page 23

Summerville is approximately 25 miles north of the historic city of Charleston. It started as Pineland Village around 1785 as a place where plantation owners enjoyed the area as a summer retreat to escape the heat, mosquitoes and malaria that prevailed around the coastal areas of South Carolina.

Adopting the motto "The Flower Town in the Pines" 73 years ago, Summerville has maintained the beautiful landscaping of the municipal and private gardens. Many buyers look for here because the area has such a romantic draw. In fact, the area is noted for its architectural beauty as well as the highly awarded educational system..

In 1976 a portion of the town, including 700 houses and buildings were listed in the National Register of Historic Places. People purchase for the mild climate, excellent schools and healthcare,  the variety of housing options, small-town friendliness and the proximity to historic Charleston.

To learn more about the history, we recommend the book, Summerville, which can be purchased at the town hall, or by calling 843-873-8535.

Housing options vary from condominiums to exclusive homes.  Residents range from single professionals, to families with kids, to retirees.

There are so many opportunities for recreation:

• Hunting
• Fishing
• Bike Riding
• Bird Watching
• Horseback Riding

• Golfing
• Fine Dining
• The Flowertown Festival
