Over nine years ago, the groundbreaking for the very first home in Nexton marked the beginning of a new era. Built by Saussy Burbank, the Bayberry home's timeless design laid the foundation for what would become a beacon of innovation and community in Summerville. The vision for Nexton was ambitious, envisioning a place where time, human connections, and a deep respect for the Lowcountry's heritage were paramount. This vision was brought to life with meticulous attention to detail, a pioneering spirit (highlighted by the introduction of GigaFi), and the collective brilliance of countless individuals. As a result, Nexton quickly captured the attention of businesses looking for a dynamic headquarters location and pioneering homebuyers who believed in the vision laid out for them. This momentum led to a series of groundbreakings, milestones, awards, and celebrations.
Today, Nexton celebrates a significant milestone: the sale of 3,000 homes, creating a community of happy residents across four neighborhoods. This community includes families from around the world, nationally acclaimed restaurants, and businesses that significantly impact the economy. Nexton is known for its vibrant parks, playgrounds, pools, extensive trails, and more.
The desirability of Nexton for homebuyers, business owners, and restaurateurs stems from a steadfast commitment to the core principles of innovation, diversity, design, and learning, along with an adaptive approach to market demands. Some of the reasons Nexton is an attractive place to live, work, and play include:
- Multiple Housing Options: Nexton offers a variety of ways to call it home, with distinct neighborhoods, 10 renowned builders, and over sixty home designs. From Lowcountry cottages and paired villas to single-story homes, elegant townhomes, and residences designed for the 55+ community, Nexton caters to every lifestyle. The variety of homesites also means that whether residents prefer low-maintenance living or enjoy gardening, there's something for everyone.
- Prime Location: Nexton's strategic location offers easy access to major employers like Volvo, Boeing, Bosch, and Mercedes Benz Vans, minimizing commute times and enhancing family time. Additionally, it's just a short drive to downtown Charleston, historic Summerville, and the nearest beach, making it an ideal location for both work and leisure.
