About Del Webb Charleston at Nexton

Del Webb Charleston at Nexton is in Summerville, in the Charleston & Lowcountry region of South Carolina. Developer: Del Webb. Status: Currently selling. Age-restricted (55+ community; occupancy rules are set in its recorded governing documents).

Del Webb describes Del Webb Charleston at Nexton as an active-adult community at 1261 Del Webb Drive, Summerville, South Carolina 29486, inside the master-planned Nexton community. Del Webb's Summerville page says the community was named Best 55+ Community by the Charleston Homebuilders Association in 2019. Awards on a builder's own page are marketing, not independent ratings. This is a different community from Del Webb at Cane Bay, a separate, sold-out Del Webb neighborhood also in the Summerville market; see Del Webb at Cane Bay.

The builder's community page highlights an entrance to resort living, a clubhouse described as 25K sq.ft., two resort-style pools and 50-plus miles of Nexton walking trails. It lists indoor and outdoor pools, tennis, pickleball, bocce, a modern fitness center, cabanas, a bar and grill, firepits and a full-service restaurant, plus clubs and social organizations. It also refers to a gated community and to upcoming amenities. Amenity lists on a selling builder's page describe what is planned as well as what is open, so walk the clubhouse before you rely on any item.

On sales status, Del Webb's page shows six decorated model homes, quick move-in homes, floor plans with starting prices and a sales consultant contact form, so the community is actively selling. The page shows listed prices starting at $379,990 for the lowest-priced home on September 30, 2026; individual plans and lots differ and change often, so get a current price sheet.

Place and jurisdiction: Del Webb and the homeowners association use a Summerville address, and the association's own welcome page links to the City of Summerville website. Nexton is a large master plan, and the Summerville address does not by itself establish that every lot is inside the town limits or which county taxes it; confirm the taxing county, municipality and millage for the lot with the county auditor. See Summerville for town context and South Carolina retirement taxes for state rules.

Healthcare: the builder's page describes the community as near upcoming MUSC Hospital, and the association's site lists MUSC Health and Wellness Institute and MUSC Atelier Primary Care in Summerville as local resources. A planned hospital is not an open one, so ask which MUSC services are operating when you buy.

The association publishes a Resource Center listing its governing documents: Articles of Incorporation dated 2017, Bylaws, the 2017 Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions with three amendments, Design Guidelines dated July 2025 and Rules and Regulations for 2025. The declaration holds the age and occupancy rules and the assessment mechanism; see the age restriction section for what it provides.

Age restrictions at Del Webb Charleston at Nexton

The recorded Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for Del Webb at Nexton (Berkeley County Register of Deeds, Book 2531, Pages 481-547, recorded August 4, 2017) states in Section 2.5 that "Del Webb at Nexton is intended to provide housing primarily for persons 55 years of age or older" and that "the Properties shall be operated as an age restricted community in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws." It provides that "each Lot, if occupied, shall be occupied by at least one (1) individual 55 years of age or older" and that "at all times, at least eighty percent (80%) of the improved and occupied Lots within the Properties shall be occupied by at least one (1) individual 55 years of age or older." No person under 19 may stay overnight in a lot for more than 90 days in any consecutive 12 months. Once a lot is occupied by an age-qualified occupant, other qualified residents may continue to occupy it so long as that does not breach the 80 percent requirement. No owner under 55 may occupy a lot except in compliance with the section, and every lease or sale agreement must disclose the age restriction. The declarant reserved the right to sell lots to buyers aged 50 to 55. The association's Resource Center lists the declaration with later amendments; read the current versions and the rules before buying.

Pricing at Del Webb Charleston at Nexton

Del Webb's community page, as shown on September 30, 2026, lists prices starting at $379,990 for the lowest-priced home shown. Prices vary by plan, lot and options, and Del Webb's pages say prices are subject to change, so request the current price list.

South Carolina Department of Revenue guidance says homeowners over age 65 may receive a complete exemption of taxes on the first $50,000 of fair market value of a legal residence, with a temporary increase to $75,000 for tax year 2026 only, and that approved legal residence status (the 4% assessment ratio) is required first. See South Carolina retirement taxes and Summerville for the published county rate tables, and confirm the county and millage for the specific address with the county auditor.

HOA and fees at Del Webb Charleston at Nexton

Neither Del Webb's page nor the association's public pages state a monthly assessment; the association's sign-in portal is managed by an outside management company. The recorded declaration provided for a $1,000 working-capital contribution at closing, and a second amendment recorded May 3, 2021 (Book 3794, Page 459) restated it: the contribution on a first sale by the declarant is $1,000 and on every other transfer is one half of one percent (0.5%) of the sales price, payable by the buyer at closing, unless the board changes it.

Ask the sales consultant for the current budget and assessment, what it covers, expected increases, reserve funding, special assessments and closing fees, and read the declaration, amendments and rules listed in the association's Resource Center.
