About Summerville
Summerville (about 55,000 residents) calls itself the "Flower Town in the Pines," a historic railroad-and-azalea town turned major suburb spanning Dorchester, Charleston, and Berkeley counties. The original downtown — Hutchinson Square, Azalea Park, and streets lined with huge live oaks — still hosts the famous Flowertown Festival each spring. Growth has exploded in master-planned communities: Nexton, Cane Bay, and Summers Corner add thousands of new homes with resort-style amenities.
