 Goose Creek is the largest city in Berkeley County and is poised to grow much larger. Many who work at SPAWAR at the Charleston Naval Weapons Station or the Naval Nuclear Power Training facility choose to live in nearby Goose Creek. But that isn’t all that Goose Creek has working in its favor. Google has opened a new data center facility that will bring hundred of high tech jobs to a 520 acre campus in Goose Creek on Highway 52.
There is an abundance of developable land and the Berkeley County Government has been very pro development especially when it is well planned development. Located in the triangle between Summerville, Moncks Corner and North Charleston, Goose Creek and Berkeley County is planning to grow significantly with over 100,000 new residents expected to move to the area within the next 10 years.
Where will all these new residents live? Goose Creek has some very established neighborhoods including Crowfield Plantation. But on the horizon is much more. Cane Bay Plantation features homes by Centex and FirstCoast Homes and the first Del Webb active adult community in the Charleston area. (Although I think of Cane Bay as part of Goose Creek, it actually has a Summerville mailing address). A new high school has just opened at the entrance to the neighborhood and a new Publix recently opened.
Plans are in the works for The Parks of Berkeley across Highway 176 from Cane Bay and Carnes, a new mixed use development by the Daniel Island Company, which acquired a 2300 acre former timber tract at the intersection of Highways 17A and 176 with plans to develop a new downtown for the City of Goose Creek and will have a similar look and feel as Daniel Island. A Harris Teeter is planned and there are additional plans for both a hospital and private school to be located at Carnes.
Berkeley County is Booming!
Another area of Berkeley County with a lot of development is the Highway 52 corridor between Goose Creek and Moncks Corner. A former hunting preserve, Foxbank Plantation, has homes available from HH Hunt Homes, Lennar, DR Horton, Sabal Homes and David Weekley Homes. The master planned development also includes plans for schools and shopping. And just down Cypress Gardens Road is Spring Grove Plantation with homes under construction from Harbor Homes, FirstCoast Homes, Dan Ryan Builders and several local Charleston area builders. Find homes for sale in both Foxbank and Spring Grove Plantations.
And just south of Goose Creek at the very northern edge of the city of Hanahan is the 650 acre master planned community of Tanner Plantation conveniently located to the Charleston Naval Weapons Station and SPAWAR.
