Ride with The Guide: Featured Community
Every new home community has a setting and personality all its own. Each month, The Guide will give you a chance to get to know some of the area’s very best new home communities. If you like what you read, we encourage you to visit and take a tour. This month The Guide is featuring Lennar's lakefront community of Saint John’s Lake (Arbor Collection & Coastal Collection) on Johns Island. Prices start at $248,000 and plans range from 3-to-5 bedrooms, 2-to-4-1/2 baths, and 1,554 to 3600 square feet.
Buying a Lennar home in the serene community of Saint John’s Lake (Arbor Collection & Coastal Collection) lets you experience a part of every day as if you are on vacation. You can launch your kayak, canoe or stand-up paddleboard and sail away onto a sun-splashed 63-acre recreational lake where motorized vessels aren’t allowed to disturb your longing for peace and quiet in a truly natural setting.
This environmentally sensitive neighborhood, romanced by live oaks adorned with Spanish moss, is a haven for humans and wildlife alike. As you quietly stop paddling to observe the activities of a busy beaver or migrating shorebird, you’d never suspect that the bustling streets of Downtown Charleston are only about 11 miles away. Since the community of Saint John’s Lake (Arbor Collection & Coastal Collection) is tucked away on Johns Island off Brownswood and Fickling Hill Roads, you can switch from paddling your rowboat to pedaling your bike on a less-traveled backroad in the course of a single afternoon. Yet, when your job, social invitations and travel opportunities change the pace, you’ll be glad you are minutes from West Ashley and James Island, and can enjoy easy access to I-526, North Charleston, MUSC and Folly Beach.
Saint John’s Lake's 271-home site subdivision will be developed in phases over the next few years. “Homebuyers who visited in mid-December were delighted to find that we had a selection of 14 move-in-ready homes in our Georgetown series that can close before the end of January,” Lennar Consultant Kelly Gillette said. “We are excited to add our Americana series of homes and the community’s first lakefront home sites in Spring 2018.” Within its two-home series, Lennar has five one-story plans ranging from 1,554 to well over 3,000 square feet. Two-story homes start at 2,300 and exceed 3,600 square feet.
All plans in Saint John’s Lake (Arbor Collection & Coastal Collection) offer sunrooms or screened porches, patios and outdoor living. The interiors feature many design options to upgrade and customize your home specifically to your taste. All homes feature high efficiency gas heat, cement plank siding, 42" kitchen cabinets, whirlpool stainless steel appliances, Corian kitchen counters, hardwood flooring in foyers, fully sodded yards and much more.
With so much to choose from, homebuyers are astonished at the affordability of this amazing community. Prices in Phase 1 start in the mid-200s, and even in a neighborhood that plans to build a community gathering area with a pool, covered pavilion, fire pit and dock, homeowner’s association dues are only $800 a year. “Since it’s located in Charleston County, the tax rate on a $350,000 home that qualifies as a primary residence is only about $1,200 a year. If it’s a second home, property taxes are approximately $4,500 a year.” Gillette said. “That kind of affordability makes the community even more appealing.”
From its great selection of home sites, to a bounty of interior design features available at the Lennar Design Center, Saint John’s Lake (Arbor Collection & Coastal Collection) is the perfect place to enjoy a water-colored life in the beautiful Lowcountry of South Carolina. We invite you to visit this nature-centric community in person.
