Looking for a place near Charleston that blends small-town comfort, affordable homes, and real potential for growth? Just 45 minutes from downtown, St. George, South Carolina is quickly becoming one of the most promising real estate markets in the lowcountry.

Whether you’re a growing family, a first-time buyer, or an investor searching for your next opportunity, St. George is worth your attention.

Why St. George?

Originally known as George’s Station, named after prominent resident James George, St. George is a town full of heart and history. Best known for its beloved World Grits Festival and reputation for neighborly charm, it offers a breath of fresh air for anyone looking to slow down and settle into a true community.

Located in Dorchester County, just west of Summerville, St. George provides easy access to both I-95 and I-26, making commutes to Charleston or Columbia a breeze.

This is a place where faith, family, and community still come first. It’s also a place where your home investment can grow right alongside the town. Perhaps most exciting of all, recent developments point to an even brighter future ahead.

A Billion-Dollar Blessing: Google’s Investment

When a company like Google commits $3.3 billion to expanding data centers across South Carolina and identifies Winding Woods Commerce Park in St. George as a potential site, it signals that this small town is on the rise.

The Google announcement is part of a larger wave of growth already taking shape in St. George. MUSC Health recently broke ground on a new Primary Care facility, which will offer both primary and occupational healthcare to the local community. In addition, Port 95 Business Park has introduced new industrial space, and over 75,000 square feet of development-ready land at Winding Woods Commerce Park is positioned for continued expansion. For homebuyers and investors, this activity points to a community already moving forward, with opportunities that are both present and promising.

Welcome to Reeves Crossing

Reeves Crossing is a vibrant new community in St. George, offering 162 thoughtfully designed homesites starting in the high $200,000s. This neighborhood was built with comfort, convenience, and connection in mind.

Here’s what makes it special:

• Resort-style amenities

• Spacious homesites

• Convenient access to I-95 and I-26

• A peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere

When you compare these homes to Charleston’s median price of $750,000 or Summerville’s $400,000 and above, the value becomes clear. Reeves Crossing offers more space, more peace of mind, and more potential for your investment without the higher price tag.

St. George is not just preparing for growth. It is already experiencing it. A 78-acre parcel off Sugar Hill Road was recently rezoned from agricultural to residential use, opening the door to expanded development. Homebuilder DR Horton has also proposed a 350-home community on approximately 300 acres, a project that could significantly reshape the local housing landscape.

According to Redfin, the median price per square foot in St. George has increased by 34.8 percent over the past year. With both active construction and future communities on the horizon, this town is quickly becoming one of the most promising places to buy in the Charleston Tri-County area.
