Summerville · Dorchester County · Lennar · Builder still selling

What it is and where

Horizons at Summers Corner is the 55+ neighborhood inside Summers Corner, Lennar's master-planned community in Dorchester County outside Summerville. Lennar describes it as an "exclusive 55+ gated active adult community," and the sales center is at 1027 Maydock Drive, Summerville, SC 29485.

Lennar sells it in collections. When I checked the builder pages on October 28, 2026, the Cottages ran 1,435 to 1,559 square feet (2 to 3 bedrooms, 2-car garage), the Legends ran 1,715 to 2,368 square feet (3 to 4 bedrooms, 2-car garage), and the Estates ran 1,844 to 2,518 square feet with a three-bay garage. A fourth collection, the Carriages, was listed as coming soon. Lennar's May 2025 overview describes the homes as single-story with covered patios.

Base prices I saw on October 28, 2026: Cottages plans from $348,000 to $360,000 (collection advertised from $318,000), Legends plans from $405,000 to $423,000, and Estates plans from $441,500 to $498,500. Quick move-in homes were listed below those base prices, some as low as $287,500. Lennar prices change often, so treat these as a snapshot.

Amenities listed by Lennar include a clubhouse, a lagoon-style pool the builder calls "resort-style," a fitness center and aerobics studio, pickleball and tennis courts, bocce, a sport court, a dog park, a community garden, fire pits, trails and a fishing lake. Lennar's 2023 awards article said the Horizons Club would include an indoor lap pool and a lifestyle director, and its May 2025 article said the Horizons Club was still under construction. I have not confirmed whether the club is open today.

Outside the gate, Summers Corner has parks, trails and Buffalo Lake, which Lennar describes as 95 acres. Homes.com puts the neighborhood about 10 miles from historic downtown Summerville, with U.S. 61 along its north side and the nearest I-26 ramp roughly 15 miles away.

In the MLS, these sales are filed under the parent name Summers Corner. Over the last 12 months 142 closed sales in Summers Corner carried the 55+ flag, all built 2022 or later, and the square footages line up with Lennar's Horizons floor plans.

HOA fees

About $369 a month on most 2026 listings ($274 on some). Lennar also lists an approximate $708-a-year special assessment, which shows up on the property tax bill.

Lennar's plan pages list approximate monthly HOA fees of $353 to $368.50 and an approximate tax rate of 0.71% to 0.85%.

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.

Pros

Lowest price point among the newer gated 55+ communities near Charleston, with a median 12-month sale around $400,000
All single-story plans, from about 1,435 to 2,518 square feet, with 2-car or 3-bay garages
Full amenity list inside the gate plus the larger Summers Corner parks, trails and lake

Cons

It is a drive: about 10 miles to downtown Summerville and roughly 15 miles to the nearest I-26 ramp, so downtown Charleston and the beaches are a real trip
Lennar is still building, so expect construction traffic and new homes priced to compete with any resale you buy
HOA shown at roughly $368.50 per month plus a listed special assessment fee, and I could not confirm the Horizons Club is finished

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.

How I matched the MLS numbers: MLS SubdivisionName 'Summers Corner' (Summerville) with the 55+ flag, closed 2025-10-28 to 2026-10-28. Mapped to Horizons because Lennar's Horizons is the only 55+ section I found in Summers Corner and the sold square footages match Horizons plans (1,435 / 1,507 / 1,559 / 1,715 / 1,921 / 2,007 / 2,340 / 2,368 / 2,518). 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.
