Living at The Ponds

Living at The Ponds: Where Nature, Neighbors, and Everyday Living Come Together

Tucked within the natural beauty of Summerville, The Ponds offers more than a place to live, it’s a community designed for connection, recreation, and the simple joys of Lowcountry life. From winding trails that lead past moss-draped trees to neighbors gathering for events on the green, The Ponds is where small-town charm meets thoughtful planning and modern comfort.

A Community Rooted in Nature

Set among preserved land, lakes, ponds, and walking trails, The Ponds was built to celebrate its surroundings, whether it’s a morning jog, an afternoon paddle, or an evening walk with friends. Here, the pace is relaxed, the air is fresh, and the natural beauty of the South Carolina Lowcountry is part of everyday living.

The Heart of the Community: The Farmhouse

At the center of it all is The Farmhouse, a beautifully restored 19th-century structure reimagined as a gathering place for residents. With wraparound porches, rocking chairs, and timeless character, The Farmhouse captures the spirit of The Ponds, a place where history, hospitality, and home all come together for community events, clubs, and everyday connection.
