Summerville is a suburb of Charleston SC that has its own unique history. It is about a 30 to 45 minute drive to downtown Charleston, depending on what part of Summerville you are in. The big attraction to Summerville is both its numerous highly desirable neighborhoods and its highly rated schools district which are considered some of the best in the state.
One of the newest neighborhoods to the area is The Ponds located off of Hwy 17A just between Old Orangeburg Rd and Hwy 642 (Dorchester Rd). The community is still in the beginning stages but already has an amenities center, fire station, and a recently built YMCA.
The amenity center is a gorgeous newly restored home which was originally built on the property in the 1830s. The Ponds has an abundance of hiking and walking trails with 
more to be established in the future. There is also an amphitheater, and large pond that greets you upon entrance into the neighborhood.
The Ponds is a unique neighborhood because it gives you the feel of an old distinctly Southern community. The homes are large with southern style porches on nearly all of them. The tall ceilings and wide open hallways stand in stark contrast to most of the modern homes being built in today's newer neighborhoods.
Perhaps the most impressive thing about the ponds is the conservatory effort of all involved. The neighborhood consists of 2000 acres of which only half of that will be used to build upon. The remainder will be left alone to add to the natural romantic appeal of the neighborhood.
