If Nexton feels a little different, it's because they started with a different set of questions. A different set of values. Not just what is the value of a square foot? But rather, what is the value of time? What is the value of smart? What is the value of beautiful? And simple? And fast? And slow?

The result? a place that makes your day more of whatever it needs to be. More efficient. More energized. More relaxed. More contemplative. More connected. More delightful. More.... better.

Why the road bends. Details Matter. Some may think that the designers and developers of Nexton are slightly obsessive. They considered every little element down to the mailboxes. They measured the number of steps from Nexton Elementary School to home to the office to the cafe. They laid out roads and placed each home in a way that gives every block its own sense of character. But it's all necessary because at the end of the day their goal was to make this a place where people want to be.

Can you feel it? There's a certain spirit that comes from living in a place like Nexton. This is a place that is more than just a collection of homes. Where you can walk or ride your bike to meet a friend at a cafe. Do a little window shopping. maybe even head to the office. And where you mark the seasons with festivals and markets and other community rituals. You have all the energy of Nexton Square right at your doorstep - and the Lowcountry charms of historic Summerville just minutes away.

It's good for you. Healthy living. Nexton offers a standing invitation to get outside and move your body. Almost half of the entire community is devoted to parks and nature. And these aren't just your standard-issue parks. They have names like Elbow Lake, Long Meadow Park, Brown Family Park and Tall Gee Woods. And the outdoor experience of each one is as distinctive as it sounds.

Then there's the Brighton Park Swim Club, with its 25-meter competition pool, interactive splash pad, huge deck with shady areas, screened porch, lawns for volleyball games and family picnics, and a big fire pit for year-round fun. Try saying that in one breath.

Of course, with a trail network that winds through the whole community, your morning walk can feel like an adventure all by itself.

Nexton ~ A new definition of connected: GigaFi. South Carolina's first gigabit community. Gigibit internet is an idea whose time has come. Yes, it makes your movies strea, better and lets everyone in the house be online at the same time without clogging up the works. But Nextion's GigaFi internet service is going to become even more useful as new technologies, such as smart appliances, become available. This is why the developers of Nexton have made GigaFi available to every home in Nexton. And its why community wifi is available in arks and other public areas throughout Nexton.

Leading-edge education. Learning that never stops. Nexton is working on multiple fornts, with partners such as Berkeley County School District and local universities, to make sure every home in Nexton comes with a top notch K-12 education as well as opportunities for lifelong learning. Beginning with Nexton Elementary School. Open for classes in fall 2015 and powered by gigbit internet, Nexton Elementary offers kids state-of-the-art learning experience. In fact, it will be the first school in the area to give every student a netbook computer for personalized digital learning. And since it's within easy walking or biking distance of every home in Brighton Park Village, it makes life a little easier for mom and dad too.

Neighborly by nature. Community gatherings. Nexton has created all sorts of interesting places for people to get together. Like brown Family Park, with its outdoor amphitheater in the heart of Nexton Square. And Meeting House, which gives residents in Brighton Park Village a bright, sunny venue for classes, club meeting or just hanging out. And we're developing a whole program of outdoor concerts, movie nights and other events that will bring the community to life.
