Frequently Asked Questions

Is Nexton or Cane Bay a better buy?
Depends on priorities. Nexton has the stronger brand recognition (#28 RCLCO, NAHB Best MPC 2021), more builder options (10+), on-site elementary and middle school (fall 2026), walkable commercial amenities (120+ shops/eateries), and a stronger lifestyle infrastructure. Cane Bay (#12 RCLCO 2024) has historically sold more homes annually, offers slightly lower price points, and appeals to buyers wanting more community scale at Berkeley County value. Own Luxury Homes® takes buyers through both before any offer.
What school district serves Nexton and Cane Bay?
Both Nexton and Cane Bay are in Berkeley County School District. Nexton Elementary is on-site within Nexton. Nexton Middle School opens fall 2026 (Berkeley County School District). Cane Bay High School and Sangaree Middle serve most of the Nexton/Cane Bay corridor. Always verify specific school assignments with BCSD before purchase.
