Owner Testimonials

Our owners can tell you more than any other why The Ponds is the finest new homes community in the Charleston area. From victorian-style single-family homes and townhouses with picket fences and lush landscaping to open green spaces, community parks and 60 miles of trails and sidewalks; you'll find The Ponds is a true Southern town with lots of charm. Here's what our owners say:

Our family feels blessed to live in the Ponds. We relocated from Hilton Head Island, and were familiar with Greenwood Communities and Resorts' properties there. We knew the master plan would be thoughtfully designed, and loved the idea of a conservancy, instead of a golf course. The Southern architecture was also appealing. The ammenities are outstanding! The Farmhouse is a distinctive community gathering place. The freshwater pool is the ideal spot for relaxing, playing and socializing. The amphitheatre is a spectacular venue for concerts. And, the YMCA is the hub of adult and youth activites. There is always something on the calendar: as simple as hanging out with friends on the porch, or as grand as a concert in the park complete with fireworks. The neighbors take pride in getting to know each other. There is a closeness here, and sense of being a part of something that is evolving. We purchased our house with the expectation that we would make it a home where our children could enjoy their childhood. We have not been disappointed. It's a true value!

As a proud member of the Ponds community, I'm happy to reflect back on why we chose this as a place to build our nest. For us, what sets the Ponds apart from other neighborhoods is the feeling you get (and I still get) while driving up Hundred Oaks Parkway, a feeling of tranquility. Relaxing in the pool, under the oaks, with the legendary farmhouse in the backdrop continues to reconfirm our decision for choosing the Ponds. Like the roots of the old oaks, established deep in the ground, so is my desire to plant the roots of my family as they grow and develop, in a beautiful setting like the Ponds.

The Ponds is unlike any neighborhood we had looked at previously in two respects. It was apparent almost immediately when Jennifer and I first visited The Ponds that the respect for nature and the inclusion of a considerable amount of land that would not be developed was extremely unique in the greater Charleston area. We currently live in Wescott Plantation, and I believe the mindset of the mix of developers was to clear the land including most of the trees so that as many houses as possible could be built. We were interested in a neighborhood or development with a different mindset, one that balanced development with respect for the existing environment. A short distance from our property at The Ponds we can walk down to the lake or on the trail system and not hear a car or see any sign of human development. This is probably one of the most important and valuable aspects of The Ponds in my mind and almost impossible to find elsewhere in this area.

Secondly the interest by the fellow property owners to get to know each other and the sense of belonging to a unique residential community is what stands out to me in the short time we have owned our property. Those who have chosen to buy a lot or build a home in The Ponds I believe are looking for a different type of neighborhood, one in a way that harkens back to a less hectic, slower pace of life when people had more time to spend with their families and neighbors. The future development that will include small live work buildings at the entry to The Ponds, a brand new Y, future elementary school, fire rescue, grocery store, etc. will provide tremendous convenience for the residents and as a result a high quality of life that will be tough to beat elsewhere.

We are excited to build our new home in this neighborhood!
