About Ridgeville
Ridgeville (about 2,000 residents) is a Dorchester County town on U.S. 78 just off I-26, between Summerville and St. George — close enough to the metro's growth to attract new subdivisions, small enough to keep a rural feel. Givhans Ferry State Park on the Edisto River is minutes away (river tubing, camping, and a historic ferry crossing), and the town sits in the path of Summerville's westward expansion. Buyers come for value, I-26 access, and larger lots, with Summerville's shopping 15 minutes east.
