SAY HELLO TO THE LOWCOUNTRY

An introduction for folks who weren't lucky enough to grow up here

Relocating to South Carolina? We’re Nexton, a new community in the classic Lowcountry town of Summerville, just northwest of Charleston. It’s our pleasure to welcome you and give you a few insights into what makes this place so special. And while you’re out discovering the best of the region, we warmly invite you to drop by and experience the new homes and fresh Lowcountry spirit of Nexton.

Regional map of Nexton community

When you’re in Nexton, you’re close. Downtown Charleston is less than 26 miles away. Charleston International Airport, 18 miles. Historic downtown Summerville, a scant 5 miles. You’ll find big employers all around us too. Companies like Redwood Materials, Volvo, Mercedes Sprinter Vans, Bosch and Boeing. So if the Lowcountry is at the top of their lists, maybe it deserves a place on yours.

In 1670, it was called Charles Town, named after King Charles II of England. Since then this city has seen raids by pirates, key actions in the Revolutionary War, and the opening shots of the Civil War. Few American cities have roots as deep as this.

Cuisine

The influx of people from all over the world has turned Charleston into foodie heaven. The sheer variety and creativity of Charleston's restaurants is staggering. And yet you can still belly up to a bowl full of shrimp 'n grits or she-crab soup.
