What it is and where

Horizons at Carnes Crossroads is a gated 55+ section inside the Carnes Crossroads master plan. Lennar's community page lists 108 Ireland Drive, Summerville, SC 29486, and Lennar's May 2025 article places it in the City of Goose Creek and said it was expected to open that summer.

When I checked on October 28, 2026, Lennar listed three collections: the Carriage Collection (Marion, 1,309 sq ft; Moultrie, 1,856 sq ft) from $282,320, the Cottage Collection (1,421 to 1,559 sq ft, 2 to 3 bedrooms) from $317,020, and the Legends Collection (1,715 to 2,224 sq ft, 3 to 4 bedrooms) from $422,000. The page showed a price range of $282,320 to $440,000 and 12 homes available. Plan-level prices on the same page were sometimes higher than the collection prices, so confirm with Lennar.

Lennar lists a clubhouse, a pool it calls "resort-style" with a future indoor lap pool, a fitness center, aerobics studio, pickleball, tennis and sport courts, a dog park, trails, a fishing lake and community garden. Carnes Crossroads as a whole is known for its farm; Lennar says it is home to an "Agrihood with community gardens and a working farm."

In the MLS these homes are filed under Carnes Crossroads. In the last 12 months 158 closed sales in Carnes Crossroads carried the 55+ flag, every one built in 2025 or 2026, and the square footages match the Horizons plans.

HOA fees

$234 to $366 a month on 2026 listings, depending on the collection. Most listings show $234 or $270; a few larger homes show $330 to $366.

HOA and regime fees as entered by listing agents on CHS Regional MLS listings that closed or were for sale in the last 12 months, pulled 2026-11-08. Agents don't always split the master POA fee from the 55+ regime fee the same way, so treat these as a starting point and get the HOA's current budget and resale certificate before you offer.

Under $500,000?

In the 12 months to Oct 28, 2026, 161 homes I matched to Horizons at Carnes Crossroads closed under $500,000, and 15 were listed under $500,000 on Nov 8, 2026. See every community side by side on my 55+ under $500,000 guide.

Pros

  • Lowest entry prices of the new 55+ communities in the MLS, with a 12-month median sale around $370,000
  • Same single-level Lennar plans as Horizons at Summers Corner in a location closer to Goose Creek
  • Carnes Crossroads farm, trails and lake are part of the setting

Cons

  • Brand new, so you will live with construction and a neighborhood that is still filling in
  • Carriage Collection homes are smaller (1,309 to 1,856 sq ft); check whether a plan is attached before you assume a detached yard
  • Still about 25 miles from downtown Charleston per the community listing, and HOA dues were not published

Before you make an offer

  • Get the HOA's current budget, the resale certificate and any capital contribution or transfer fee due at closing.
  • Read the recorded covenants for the age policy. Under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act, a 55+ community sets its own rules for who must be 55 and whether anyone younger can live there.
  • Run the address through my flood zone lookup and get an insurance quote during your inspection period.
  • If it's new construction, bring your own agent to the first model visit. Many builders won't add an agent later. My new construction directory lists who is building now.

Common questions about Horizons at Carnes Crossroads

What are the HOA fees at Horizons at Carnes Crossroads?

2026 MLS listings show $234 to $366 a month, with most at $234 or $270. The amount depends on the home collection. Ask the HOA what's included, such as lawn care, and whether there's a separate Carnes Crossroads master fee.

Is Horizons at Carnes Crossroads under $500,000?

Almost always. Every closed sale I matched to the 55+ section in the last 12 months was under $500,000 (161 MLS sales through Oct. 28, 2026), and 15 homes were listed under $500,000 on Nov. 8, 2026.

Are the homes at Horizons at Carnes Crossroads single level?

The plan sizes that sold, about 1,300 to 2,200 square feet, match Lennar's one-story Horizons plans. Confirm the specific plan with the builder or the listing.

How I matched the MLS numbers: MLS SubdivisionName 'Carnes Crossroads' (City field Summerville) with the 55+ flag. All 158 closings were built 2025 or 2026 and match Horizons floor plan sizes (1,309 / 1,421 / 1,435 / 1,503 / 1,553 / 1,715 / 1,921 / 2,224 / 2,225), so I mapped the group to Horizons. The MLS records these as detached; Lennar calls one line the Carriage Collection, and I did not confirm whether those are attached. Many new-construction closings are entered by the builder after the fact with 0 days on market, which pulls the median DOM down. Closed residential sales flagged "55+ Community" in the CHS Regional MLS, Oct 28, 2025 to Oct 28, 2026. Medians, not appraisals. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
