Where it is and getting around
Cypress Preserve's welcome center is at 302 Little Brook Lane, and the townhome office is on Fairmont Pines Drive. Lennar says it's off Cypress Gardens Road near Highway 52. The Post and Courier described the tract as bounded by Cypress Gardens Road on the south and Old US 52 on the east, about 25 miles from downtown Charleston, with Foxbank Plantation to the northwest.
US 52 is your main road south to Goose Creek and North Charleston. A regional study of the corridor proposes added lanes and new paths, built in increments over 10 to 20 years, per Live 5, so don't count on quick relief. Time your drive with my commute tool.
The homes
Lennar is the only builder. Its site listed four collections in October 2026: an entry collection from $329,000 (1,520 to 2,358 square feet), the Juniper Collection from $347,000 (1,753 to 2,323), the Arbor Collection from $400,000 (2,463 to 3,510) and townhomes from $315,000 (1,872 to 1,935). The townhomes are marked coming soon.
When Lennar bought the land, its Charleston division said wetlands could bring the house count down to about 700, with about 50 townhomes, and called those numbers approximate. See what's selling on my new construction page.
Amenities and HOA
Lennar lists a swimming pool, community center, playground, tot lot, picnic area and a pond. There's a homeowners association, but Lennar's page leaves the HOA section blank. I couldn't find dues published anywhere official, so get the fee schedule, any special assessments and the covenants in writing from the sales office.
Growth around it
The south end of Moncks Corner has grown fast. In 2019 the Post and Courier counted close to 4,000 homes in the works across town, including about 2,422 approved at Foxbank next door. The town added impact fees in 2025, $4,805 per new detached house, and the mayor said in 2026 the town has turned away 1,100 proposed homes in three years.
Expect active building inside Cypress Preserve until Lennar sells out. Flood zones vary by lot, especially near wetlands, so use my flood zone lookup. For rental plans, check Town of Moncks Corner rules and the HOA covenants.
