Notable design work from Sabal Homes marks new community at Branch Creek

Before launching its neighborhood in Branch Creek, builder Sabal Homes concluded that it wanted to do something distinctive. So executives went back to the drawing board, literally. They drafted eight new floor plans not found at any of their other communities.

"We wanted to give buyers what they're looking for," says Sarah Burke, sales manager.

Developers rolled out Branch Creek two years ago along U.S. Highway 78 in the southern nub of Summerville. Sabal Homes recently started sales in its section, which will have 116 homes when completed.

Houses cost from $269,900 to $332,900. Sizes are 2,126-3,480 square feet. The model is The Santee, which is 3,070 square feet and priced at $318,900. Other floor plans are The Cooper, Wando, Stono, Hobcaw, Edisto, Waccamaw and Ashley. Plans are all two stories with two-car garages, front porches and three to four bedrooms. Lots are just less than 1/3 acre, and there are home sites for sale on a pond in the neighborhood.

While somewhat secluded, Branch Creek is situated less than a mile south of Berlin G. Myers Parkway and is a few minutes drive from downtown Summerville and Interstate 26.

"You can't beat the location," Burke says.

Customer interest picked up after Mount Pleasant-based Sabal Homes opened its model this spring.
