Choosing the right lot is a critical decision in building your home. It shapes not just where you live, but how you live. Here’s what to consider when selecting the perfect homesite.

Neighborhood Amenities

How will you spend your days? Taking early morning strolls along walking trails? A daily swim or being able to enjoy a round of golf year-round? For boating enthusiasts, easy water access is essential. From tennis courts and fitness centers to shaded gazebos, the perfect neighborhood offers amenities tailored to your lifestyle.

The Surrounding Area

What’s beyond a neighborhood matters just as much. For some, proximity to a lively city with boutiques and an eclectic dining scene is a must. Or some often prioritize top-rated schools. Ideally, the places you love are close enough to enjoy whenever you wish.

Elevation and Views

In coastal areas, elevation makes a difference. You don’t need a steep hillside, but even a modest rise can offer added protection from storm surges and potential flooding. Elevation also influences what you see – from sweeping views of our areas waterways to untouched natural landscapes. If long-term stability and home value are priorities, elevation could be too.

Nature and Scenery

A well-chosen homesite feels connected to its natural surroundings. In the Coastal Carolinas, that often means homes nestled amid preserved woodlands and lush greenery in waterfront locales. Communities that preserve these natural elements offer space to unwind and effortlessly enjoy the outdoors.
