I did not find a builder or HOA website, so the details above are from a third-party directory.
HOA fees
$233 to $244 a month on recent listings.
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.

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 'Pines at Gahagan' (Summerville, Charleston County) with the 55+ flag. Three sales, so medians are not meaningful.
