Where it is and getting around
Carolina Groves is on US 52 on the north side of Moncks Corner, across the highway from the old Moss Grove Plantation land. D.R. Horton's directions bring you up US 52 to Ben Barron Lane, then onto Blue Haw Drive and Sweetspire Street, where the model is. Trident Technical College's Berkeley campus is about 1.3 miles away and Lake Moultrie about 4.4 miles, per Jome.
US 52 is the main road to Goose Creek, North Charleston and I-26. D.R. Horton describes Moncks Corner as an hour from Charleston, so test the drive at rush hour with my commute tool before you commit. A regional study of US 52 from Moncks Corner to North Charleston proposes added lanes and new paths, built in pieces over 10 to 20 years, per Live 5.
The homes
D.R. Horton offers 14 floor plans here, one- and two-story, with 3 to 6 bedrooms and 1 to 3 garage spaces. Plans start at 1,257 square feet, and Jome lists the range up to about 3,415. The builder's site listed homes from $337,750 in October 2026. County records show sections including Carolina Groves Phase 3B and Carolina Groves Townhomes.
The townhome section is sold separately, and D.R. Horton says townhome owners get lawn care and power washing. Most purchases are still new construction from the builder, so check my new construction page for what's available now.
Amenities and HOA
D.R. Horton lists a resort-style pool, an open-air clubhouse with a picnic area and outdoor prep kitchen, a park, playground and fire pit. There's a homeowners association. Jome lists HOA dues at $1,200 or more a year, but D.R. Horton doesn't publish a figure, so get the current budget, any townhome fees and the covenants in writing before you sign.
Growth next door
More homes are coming right beside it. In April 2026 Moncks Corner council approved the Weathers Tract, 96 acres on US 52 along Ben Barron Lane at Carolina Groves, with 316 single-family homes, 50,000 square feet of commercial space and six pickleball courts. The agreement ties home building to progress on the retail, per the Post and Courier. Live 5 reported the town has funding lined up for a new traffic light near Ben Barron Lane.
Across US 52, Village Square on 31 acres of the old Moss Grove tract was approved with 78 homes, retail and ball fields. Expect construction traffic on Ben Barron Lane for a while.
