If you’re going to represent the Ponds, then please don’t say that Crestwind is a part of the Ponds because they are not. They are a separate entity. They get to share our pool and amenities because they pay to do that, it’s not a gift for living in Crestwind.
Thank you for your comment and for watching my video! First of all, I DO NOT REPRESENT any particular neighborhood. I am a general Realtor. Secondly, the neighborhood is called Cresswind, not Crestwind (in case anyone who reads this is researching the community). And you are correct, Cresswind does have access to the amenities located within The Ponds. According to Kolter Homes' own website, the community is "Cresswind at The Ponds". The residents in Cresswind pay a portion of their monthly HOA fee to Cresswind and a portion to The Ponds. I'm not sure how you think this makes them a separate entity? Very similar to how Del Webb or Four Seasons are a part of Cane Bay Plantation. Or Horizons is a part of Summers Corner. Again, thank you for watching and let me know if I can ever share any more info!
Thank you so much! If you are OK with a villa, then Hammock Walk would be the least expensive choice. They are attached villas with either 2 or 4 congregated together. For single family homes, the best value for your money would be in Del Webb Cane Bay (north Summerville) or Horizons (south Summerville). Del Webb Cane Bay is all resale homes while Horizons has both resale and new construction. Please feel free to call me or reach out by email to discuss further - I'd love to help!
Hi there! Thank you and thanks for watching:) We do have alligators in our ponds - if there is water, just assume there might be alligators! We do have snakes as well. While I don't see them super often, we have had one on our porch before and you will hear talk or see on the neighborhood Facebook pages about snakes in the area from time to time. Let us know if you have any more questions or if you have a trip planned to the area!
@@homes_by_courtneykretly thank you for your reply. What is the best community that has a pool, walking paths, fitness center, biking to coffee shops, restaurants etc.? Many communities seem to be more rural like the Nashville area. Your videos seem to tell me it's Nexton? I'm from a small town south of Chicago so I'd like to keep that type feel community with the amenities. Price points 400 up to 550ish. Move not imminent, researching now.
@@scottbertrand5544 Based on what you are describing, Nexton would definitely be the best choice. Very walkable, bikeable and golf cart friendly to access shops and restaurants. It is also the only community that offers a gym within the community (with the exception of Active Adult neighborhoods) and a very nice resort style pool. Please let me know if I can help further!
I am really sorry you feel this way! The Charleston area has changed greatly in the past few years. The secret is out how amazing this area is and people are making the move. I do understand your sadness about the change, however. The builder here did keep some of the natural beauty and trees, but you are right, things are different.
We try to be very careful not to fall off when paddling and be on the lookout. But typically alligators are more afraid of you and would swim away if they were approached. That is why it is so important that people don't feed them or cause them to be curious towards humans.
Thanks for your message! You should assume that any body of water could contain alligators. However, we do still kayak and paddleboard in the lakes. We use caution not to fall off and are on the lookout for alligators while paddling. That's why it is so important that people do not feed alligators or do anything to make them too comfortable around humans. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Thanks for your message! The assessments are part of the property taxes and are paid in arrears. So they would be a part of the tax bill that would come out in October and due by January for the previous year. Hope this answers your question! Let me know if I can help further :)
Hi Bonnie! Yes, there are condos and townhomes available in the area. There is also an Active Adult community with villas in the $300K's called Hammock Walk. Please send me an email or give me a call if you are interested in learning more! Thank you! homes@bycourtneykretly.com (843) 872-7712
Hello! I personally do not live in this community. I am a real estate agent who knows these communities well and sell in them often. Thanks for watching!
You're so silly. 😂🩷 Fantastic video; thanks for all the insider info! Do you know if Nexton has any future intentions to expand and build a new community elsewhere? Perhaps around Greenville, SC, so there's a community near the beach and one near the mountains? 👀🤞🏼
Hi Mariah! Thank you so much for watching :D I'm glad you found it helpful! The developers of Nexton are interested in the Greenville area, however, there has been nothing formal done at this point. Fingers crossed for you as you never know! If you need help connecting with an agent in Greenville, please reach out - I'd be happy to make the connection! Otherwise, the Summerville/Charleston area is pretty great ;)
@@homes_by_courtneykretly Thank you for the reply! I'd love to talk some more with you about Nexton and the general area there. Do you have a website with your contact info? I found the link to this video from an ad on Instagram, I believe, or maybe Nexton had shared it on their account. 😃
@@mariahhouser1268 I would love to chat with you more! My email address is: homes@bycourtneykretly.com and my phone number is (843) 872-7712. Please reach out! <3
Oh Susan, I am so sorry to hear this! I would have loved to assist you and would have made your experience as stress free and enjoyable as I possible could! If there is ever anything I can do for you, please reach out.
I love that! I'm here for you whenever you decide to make the move or if you have any questions before then! If you are in the area and would like a tour, don't hesitate to reach out :)
I promise, the neighborhood of Horizons is flood zone "X" - at least at this point in time :) Anything can change. I just closed a home here today and no flood insurance required for a mortgage! However, there are a few homes in Summers Corner (outside of Horizons) that are flood zone "AE". Thanks for watching!
I appreciate your comment and thank you so much for watching! If you are ever in the hunt for a home in the Charleston area, I would love for you to reach out! X, Courtney
West Lake is a great place to call home! I built a home on the lake here in 2020 and have been loving it here ever since! West Lake is a community which includes residents of all ages and demographics. Please send me an email if you'd like to know more or are planning a visit to this area - I'd love to show you around and help you find the best fit! Please send an email to: homes@bycourtneykretly.com Thank you for watching!

Thank you for your comment! If you compare these HOA fees with other HOA fees for 55+ communities across the country, these are VERY low. And the added benefits of yard maintenance, a lifestyle coordinator and tons of amenities make the fees worthwhile! If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks again!
No matter the cost, HOA ends my interest in any area. My gosh, just look at unwarranted rise in HOA charges in the Florida areas and the abuse of the funds by HOA managers. They don’t provide value but just another way to suck more money out of the tennant
Lana, that means so much to me! Thank you for that kind comment! I love making these videos, and this is why :) If there is anything I can do to help you with your move or learn more about the area, please reach out. Hope you love it here!
Let us know how you settle in?! We’re planning on moving from Denver in June! Never been either but will come visit in two weeks. Best of luck to you “ future neighbor “ ❤
Hi @Miked818, did you watch the entire video? I showcase the communities, extended communities (such as Nexton, Cane Bay Plantation & The Ponds), amenities, drone footage, walk through of the floor plans, etc. Is there something I missed that you would have wanted to see? I appreciate any input as I work really hard on these videos to make them informational and enjoyable. Kind regards, Courtney Kretly
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU COME ON HERE AND ARE SO STINKING RUDE. YOUR COMMENT DID NOT BENEFIT ANYONE ESP YOURSELF. HAVE ANOTHER BOWL OF NAILS FOR BREAKFAST CHUMP
It does not. Property taxes are an additional amount due annually (or escrowed with your mortgage). Taxes here are quite low, however! Most of these homes will have annual property taxes in the $1500-$2500 range.
Hi there! The lowest priced community will be the new Ashton Woods community called "Hammock Walk". Those are attached, villa style homes starting in the $300K's. The next lowest priced would probably be Horizons at Summers Corner starting in the mid $300K's. Please let me know if you have any more questions!
I live in West Lake, just one minute down the road :) So I'm very very familiar with The Coves and all Cane Bay Plantation has to offer! I hope the memories you had in The Coves were good memories. Thanks for commenting!
We’re looking to relocate here in a few months! What’s the price and availability of the first home ( or similar )?! Would love to connect .. thank you!
Hi Jessica! West Lake has sold out now, but there are resale homes available here from time to time. West Lake is located within the Cane Bay Plantation community, so there are other neighborhoods that are still building here! Please email me at: homes@bycourtneykretly.com if you'd like to discuss further!
@@homes_by_courtneykretly so I heard😞 I discovered the beautiful Summers Corner, but the surrounding areas are just so old and unkept😣 Any other pretty, light & airy colored communities out there?
@@JessicaDe_Leon There are other neighborhoods that are building within Cane Bay Plantation - Waterside for example. There is also Carnes Crossroads and Nexton that could be great fits as well!
Hello, I like Your Video of this area. How much are homes that have at least 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms? I notice a boat and a RV at 2 of the houses so I assume the HOA allows them. Thank You.
Glad you like the video! There are currently 5 homes on the market in this area with 4 bedrooms, however, the bathroom counts on each of these are 2.5 instead of 3. They range in price from $365K-$450K depending on square footage, upgrades and location within the community. Let me know if you would like me to email any of them to you! I have reviewed the section of the Wescott Plantation CC&R's which discuss the parking of boats, trailers and RV's. It seems as though they should be parked in garages unless special permission has been obtained from the board to park in the driveways. While driving around the neighborhood, you do notice quite a few boats and RVs parked in driveways, so it does appear that the HOA is a bit more lenient than many others in this area. But I would be happy to provide you with the HOA information if you would like to reach out to them directly to confirm! Hope this helps!
