New Construction in Chapin, SC: Communities to Watch

Monroe Preserve (Pulte Homes)

Monroe Preserve offers seven customizable one- and two-story home designs, ranging from 1,702 to over 2,956 sq ft, featuring 3–6 bedrooms and up to four baths on a 50-acre site. Homes start in the mid-$300,000s. Each homesite helps ensure privacy with no rear neighbors, and convenient access to Lake Murray, Melvin Park, and quick interstate access for easy commuting. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Pebble Branch (Mungo Homes)

Pebble Branch features homes from approximately 1,671 to 4,336 sq ft with 3–5 bedrooms and 2–4.5 baths. Priced starting around $325,000—well below the Chapin average—this community is zoned for Chapin schools, with future plans for a pool and cabana, and easy access to local dining and retail.

Palmetto Shores (Mungo Homes)

Palmetto Shores is a picturesque, lakefront community set on Lake Murray with homes ranging from 1,709 to 4,457 sq ft (3–5 beds, 2–5 baths), starting in the mid-$500,000s. The neighborhood spans 60 acres and offers amenities such as a community pool, cabana, boat ramp, kayak storage, and sidewalks. It’s designed for a range of lifestyles—from growing families to empty-nesters seeking easy access to water and walkable shopping. 

Chapin Place & Collins Cove (Great Southern Homes)

Chapin Place offers several new home plans (7 homes, 7 plans) starting in the early $340,000s, and Collins Cove presents homes beginning in the low-$390,000s. Both are newer communities by Great Southern Homes adding value and choice to the Chapin market. 

Boykin Hills & Night Harbor (Great Southern Homes)

Boykin Hills offers around 13 home options starting near $289,900—great for budget-conscious buyers—while Night Harbor brings 5 plan options starting in the upper-$390,000s, both offering fresh, modern homes in desirable Chapin neighborhoods.

Why These Communities Stand Out

Lake Access & Lifestyle

Many of these communities capitalize on proximity to Lake Murray—Palmetto Shores and The Point especially embody waterfront living with boating, fishing, and scenic outdoor amenities.

Diverse Price Points & Floor Plans

From entry-level homes in Boykin Hills to luxury estates in The Point, Chapin offers options for every budget and family size, with customizable designs and flexible layouts.

Top-Rated Schools & Commute Convenience

All these neighborhoods are zoned for excellent Chapin schools and offer manageable commutes to Columbia and nearby employment centers thanks to access via I-26 and local roads.
