Summerville Real Estate
Summerville, located primarily in Dorchester County and with portions in Charleston and Berkley counties, is an idyllic southern town that provides its nearly 45,000 residents a wonderful place to call home. Only a 24-mile drive from Charleston, Summerville has become a much sought-after place to buy a home for those who appreciate a small town ambiance with access to big city amenities.
Known for the natural beauty that permeates the town, Summerville was the first to pass laws preventing cutting down trees of a particular size when it became an official town in 1847. This preservation initiative, combined with the first annual Flowertown Festival in 1941, has garnered Summerville the official slogan of “Flowertown in the Pines”. Held the first weekend in April in Summerville’s Azalea Park, the Flowertown Festival remains South Carolina’s largest arts and crafts festival. The 12-acre Azalea Park, located in the heart of Summersville, also hosts the annual Sculpture in the South, where dozens of visiting sculpture bring their work to join the Summerville Collection of permanent sculptures that are accessible all year in the park, where ponds, fountains, flowers and paths punctuate the artistic and natural beauty.
In Summerville you find beauty everywhere, including the wonderland of historic architecture found in the 700 homes and buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. But beyond the stunning homes, both those historically recognized and those for sale in Summersville, the town offers outdoor enthusiasts a variety of ways to enjoy the South Carolina Lowcountry. By living in Summersville you can go kayaking or canoeing down one of the local rivers that lead to the Atlantic Ocean, visit a local or state park for hiking, biking, picnicking and much more with ease. Summersville golfers have access to many local championship courses that are great for perfecting a putt among the famously beautiful Lowcountry landscape. The addition of the Gahagan Park Sports Complex in Summerville has added a superior recreational facility that boasts state-of-the art amenities which hosts a variety of organized tournaments and recreational games throughout the year too.
