Summer Wind, a 267-unit Class A multifamily community, is currently under construction in South Carolina by an affiliate of The Beach Company in Summerville’s Dorchester County. The development is being built in an area with an increasing demand for modern, reasonably priced apartment homes.
The development is located at the intersection of Highway 17A and Dorchester Road with easy access to Summerville’s shopping and entertainment, some of the area’s top schools, and employers such as Volvo, Boeing, Bosch, Mercedes, and Joint Base Charleston.

Studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units will be offered in the three-story buildings that surround a pool and a one-acre park. Summer Wind will be pet friendly and offer a resident clubroom and adjoining lounge, a 24/7 fitness center, a large pool and leisure deck, a dog park, an outdoor kitchen, a fire pit, a car wash, and detached garages.
Units will include granite countertops, wood inspired plank flooring, oversized closets, and washers and dryers. Summer Wind also labels itself as a “Ten Gig” community, offering 10 gigabytes of symmetrical internet/data service through an agreement with Home Telecom.
