White Gables Subdivision - Summerville SC Real Estate

Featured Neighborhood - White Gables, Summerville, SC:

The White Gables Subdivision is located off of Central Avenue in Summerville.  It's a very easy, short drive into downtown Summerville where there's plenty of shopping including big box stores like Walmart, Target, Kohl's as well as plenty of locally owned shops with unique items in historic downtown.  There's also a huge variety of dining options as well.

White Gables was developed by Saussy Burbank home builders beginning around 2001, with some new construction going on even as of this writing, but most of the development is complete.

What many people love about White Gables is the many amenities...there's a architecturally pleasing clubhouse that's available for community use, a community pool, a couple of play areas, tennis courts, walking paths and a lot of open common areas some of which have ponds.  Along with the victorian and Charleston inspired style of homes, it makes White Gables a very aesthetically pleasing neighborhood.

A unique feature of White Gables is that detached garages are located to the back of each property and are accessed through alleyways. (There's a shot of an alley in the video) The idea was to leave the front of the property looking clean and neat with no driveways...just sidewalks to meander while your neighbors wave to you from the front porch.  But a complaint I sometimes hear is that the driveways are small.  Depending on the lot and your vehicle, it can become a bit of a challenge.

The yards are also small.  For many folks, the amenities offset this.  (I forgot to mention that there's a large open field which is great for playing a game of soccer or baseball or just letting the kids run around.) I've seen many yards landscaped in a lovely manner giving the feeling of a "courtyard" where you can sit and relax.  If you're looking for a large, private space to call your own this may not be the neighborhood for you.  On the other hand, I know many people, with their busy lives, don't want a big yard to care for and these yards certainly fit the bill.

The homes themselves are done in a charming style, some with big front porches, some with double porches and some with side porches or "piazzas".  Many floor plans are open which is what today's buyers are looking for.

As of this writing, homes in White Gables really run the gamut in terms of price...smaller homes start in the $120's with larger homes going all the way up to $300K.  Just remember, market conditions change frequently so it's best to consult an agent to see what types of homes are available in your price point.  There are some single story homes, but most are two story and not many offer master bedroom down.
