Carnes is coming soon

June 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment

One of the most highly anticipated communities in the Charleston real estate market is Carnes which is being developed by The Daniel Island Company as a “sister” community to Daniel Island. Located in Goose Creek at the intersection of Highway 17A and US 176 just a few miles from the Summerville exit off 1–26, the historic intersection has always been known in Berkeley County as Carnes Crossroads.

The 2000 acre master planned community will become a downtown gathering spot for Goose Creek and the first commercial center will be known as The Market at Carnes Crossroads featuring a Harris Teeter grocery store, restaurants, shops and office space.

Also announcing plans to locate at Carnes are Northwood Assembly Church and Northwood Academy. Roper St. Francis Hospital has announced plans for a medical facility at Carnes.

Home prices in Carnes have not yet been announced but The Daniel Island Company will likely offer different price points in several distinct neighborhoods. Look for the first residents to move in sometime in 2009.
