Flood zones in The Ponds
Homes sold in the past 12 months, by FEMA flood zone
None of the 87 homes sold here in the past 12 months sit in a high risk flood zone on FEMA’s current map, so most lenders do not require flood insurance. 84 sit in the minimal risk zone and 3 in the moderate risk zone. A zone describes the land, not the house, and flood insurance is still available and worth pricing.
Have a home in The Ponds in mind. Text me the address at 843-718-6338 and I will pull its flood zone and the elevation certificate if one exists, and connect you with a licensed insurance agent for a flood quote.

What to know before you buy in The Ponds
Mostly preowned
94 of the 100 sales were coded preowned in the MLS, and the 6 that were not sold at a median of $636K. I compare builder contracts against preowned homes nearby before you commit.
Dues and rules
Most homes sold here were marked with an HOA fee in the MLS. I confirm the dues, what they cover and the rules for every home before you make an offer.
County and schools
Every sale here in the past year was in Dorchester County. Most homes sold were listed in the MLS for Sand Hill Elementary, Gregg Middle and Summerville High. Assignments follow exact addresses and can change, so I confirm them for every home.

The Ponds is in the Dorchester County part of Summerville. 10 of the homes sold here in the past year were marked in the MLS as on a pond.
Getting around
I-26 is the main route toward North Charleston, the airport and downtown Charleston, and rush hour traffic on it is the biggest complaint I hear. I have buyers drive the commute before they commit.
