Summer Orchard

🏡 Welcome to Summer Orchard: A Fresh Start in Lexington, SC

If you’ve been house hunting in Lexington and feel like every listing is either outdated, overpriced or just plain “meh,” let me introduce you to a neighborhood that gets it right: Summer Orchard.

Located just off Two Notch Road, Summer Orchard is one of Lexington’s newest communities, and it’s exactly what many first-time homebuyers have been hoping for. These are new construction homes that don’t break the bank and in a location that puts you close to everything.

🛠️ Built for Today’s Buyer 

Summer Orchard is a Stanley Martin Homes community, so you’re getting all the perks of a national builder but with a small-neighborhood vibe. Think open floor plans, granite countertops, energy efficiency, smart tech upgrades and layouts that actually make sense. 

Homes here typically start in the high $200s to low $300s, depending on size and upgrades. For first-time buyers, it’s a sweet spot, especially when you factor in lower maintenance costs that come with new builds.

📍 Location, Location… You Know the Rest

Summer Orchard is in Lexington 1 School District and you’re just a few minutes from I-20. Downtown Lexington is a straight shot and Columbia’s an easy commute if you’re heading into the city.

Need groceries? You’ve got Publix, Lowe’s Foods and Target nearby. Want dinner without driving 40 minutes? Catch a local food truck or hit up spots like Keg Cowboy or Bodhi Thai right down the road.

đź’¬ Should You Check It Out?

If you’re a first-time buyer, moving up or even downsizing into something easier to manage, this could be the one that fits your budget, your lifestyle, and your commute. I’ve helped clients find their forever home here, and it’s been a breath of fresh air compared to some of the older options in town.

Thinking about taking a look? I’d be happy to show you around. Just shoot me a message or text me at 803-767-3569. We can grab a coffee and do a walkthrough. No pressure, just real talk and real options.
