Summerville SC Real Estate

Summerville, SC is a beautiful historic city that was first inhabited in the late 1700s as Charlestonians and other inhabitants of the South Carolina lowcountry sought respite from the summer heat, mosquitoes, and disease. From May to September, plantation families along the nearby Ashley River and other coastal areas, headed for higher elevations to live temporarily or "maroon," in the tiny forest colony soon dubbed Summerville. Other pioneer residents descended from those 1696 Puritans who settled the nearby former colonial settlement of Dorchester, endowing this town's real estate with a heritage spanning three centuries. Homes, townhomes, houses and condos are all available for sale in the small but fast growing town that is abundantly rich in history.

Summerville's beauty is mirrored in her motto, "The Flower Town in the Pines." Since the early 1900s day tourists as well as people who call Summerville home have flocked to the town during early spring to enjoy viewing millions of spring blossoms, particularly azaleas, in private and public gardens, including the midtown Azalea Park. It's no wonder that the motto on the town's official seal is "Sacra Pinus Esto--The Pine Is Sacred."

Despite the publicity and the development it spurred, the town's population hovered around 3,000 for nearly a century, not reaching 6,000 until the late 1970s. Then, as a real estate bedroom community for the larger urban centers in the area, the charm of Summerville resulted in a doubling of the population in the 1980s as many people started buying single family houses, condos and townhomes listings for sale. Summerville real estate continues to attract families, business people, and military personnel, all looking for a quality of life that has long since disappeared in cities. The 2000 Census noted that the Town of Summerville's population was 27,752 though it is much higher now.

The Dorchester II School District serving most of the town is rated as having some of the best schools in the state. This is a growing area with reasonably priced homes and real estate, located near great shopping, and historic areas of interest.
