Essex Homes proudly builds new home communities in the areas of Columbia, South Carolina and Charlotte, North Carolina. The builder constructions its homes with consideration given to the type of lifestyles enjoyed by today’s home buyers, as well as the need for living space and functionality.

Lake Wylie and Lake Murray were major influencers in the location chosen for several of Essex’s new home communities. The lake is a sought-after attraction by home buyers for many reasons, including the opportunity to enjoy endless summer activities. These communities offer a lake lifestyle that just can’t be beat. Amenities at the lake communities vary but often include convenient waterfront storage for your canoe or kayak, private boat ramps, nature trails, parks and playgrounds, community pools and clubhouses, fire pits and cook out areas.
