Hunter Quinn Has the Solution for First-Time Homebuyers in Charleston, SC

An article in last month’s Post and Courier reported a lack of affordable entry-level homes that offer close proximity to Charleston—a great place to live. Apparently, renters are feeling very discouraged about the housing shortage that seems to force them to keep writing the monthly rent check. If you’re one of these frustrated people, Hunter Quinn Homes has the solution for first-time home buyers in Charleston, SC.

Some builders cited the cost of land as an obstacle. Others pointed to government regulations and the cost of construction. While these reasons are valid, they reflect some limitations in thinking. 

We thought about the needs of the first-time home buyer. They’re moving from renting a place to live—where you call the landlord when something goes wrong—to owning a home. If you’re not accustomed to home maintenance and repair, that can be a difficult transition. How often should you clean the gutters to avoid water damage? When do you fertilize the lawn and what do you use? 

When you buy a townhome, you get the benefit of more space, like a single-family home, and the low-maintenance of condo-style living. You still get your two stories of fully appointed, living space, plus a garage, but without the exterior maintenance hassle and expense. A townhome community also offers social benefits. You get to know your neighbors, the kids make friends, and there might even be a community pool to use without worrying about the upkeep!

Take a look at some of our new construction townhome communities that are priced right for the first-time homebuyer:

Alston Place is now underway, just a few minutes from Downtown Summerville. About half an hour from Downtown Charleston, the location offers an easy commute to the city. From the $170s, you could own a townhome here. The Magnolia floor plan gives you the flexibility of choosing between one and two master suites, and the option of either an open concept in the main living room or a more traditional layout.

Creekside at Horizon Village presents another opportunity to live well in the Charleston area. You can ride your bike to Park Circle, take a short drive to the shops, dining, entertainment, and businesses or take a stroll in Four Poles Park located within the community. Like all of our townhomes, Creekside includes quality features such as granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances, but exclusive to the community additional features such as laminate hardwood floors on entire first floor, open rails and stained oak stairs and add even more value to these new homes. With up to eight floor plan options to choose from, you can find the right space here and make it your own—and do it affordably from the $190s.

Tributary at The Park at Rivers Edge is located in the historic Ashley River District of North Charleston and only 25 minutes from both Downtown Charleston and the Naval Weapons Station. This gated townhome community is part of the larger neighborhood, The Park at Rivers Edge, so you enjoy the advantages of all the amenities here: swimming pool, clubhouse, tennis courts, play park, intramural fields, walking and jogging paths, and optional boat storage. The 3-4 bedroom townhomes are priced from the high $100s..

If you have your heart set on a single-family home, Hunter Quinn Homes can still be your home builder. Take a look at our new community, Downtown Summerville. The new construction homes coming here range from the 1,635-square-foot Allendale floor plan to the McCormick with as much as 3,240 square feet of interior living space, with more floor plan options in between. Plus, with no HOA fee, you save even more by choosing Downtown Summerville.
