Chesapeake Homes made their debut in Coastal South Carolina in 2018, with the immensely popular Bridgewater development in Little River. As a newcomer to the Grand Strand, Chesapeake Homes brought over 25 years of building excellence, along with their partner Wakefield Development, to the area from other markets in which they have excelled by providing award-winning home designs and lifestyle enhancing amenities. The goal; always offer new homes which provide ideal living spaces within communities that complement the lifestyle of the people who will live within them. Creating harmony between new homes and beautiful communities, whether it’s a small cluster of homes such as their newest community, The Willows in Longs, or a huge master-planned community like coming soon Coastal Club on the border of North Carolina and South Carolina, Chesapeake Homes strives to provide elements which make life in a Chesapeake Homes' home and community one that will be nothing short of amazing.

"We like to define our processes by asking our home buyers to "Experience The Difference" when they consider a new home purchase from Chesapeake Homes," explains Kerri Woodward, VP of Operations at Chesapeake Homes. "Our goal is to build in areas and communities which add to one's quality of life. Not just within their home, but in the community or area where they will be living in as well," she added.

When it comes to the communities where they build, Chesapeake Homes describes it this way ... they want you to "Experience The Togetherness". In many of the communities they build in or find to build in, they make sure there are life-enhancing amenities for all residents. From large master-planned neighborhoods like Bridgewater and Waterbridge, to quaint collections of homes such as Heritage Park, Chesapeake Homes ensures that the homes they build are near to the elements that matter to improve life and one’s surroundings. It is important for the builder to be in communities which offer an abundance of features so that new residents will feel a sense of belonging within.

When someone is searching for a new home, many will find it exciting to discover a bounty of different amenities once they enter a community where homes built by Chesapeake Homes are featured. "We focus on building in communities which include life-enhancing quality and amenities," furthered Chesapeake Homes' President John Barnes. "Our homes are a complement to the wonderful lifestyle backdrop which often includes Swimming Pools, Clubhouses and Cabanas; Outdoor Cooking Pavilions, Covered Picnic Areas and Parks; Dog Parks, Walking Trails and Children’s Play Areas; Fitness Rooms, Yoga Rooms, and Pickleball and Bocce Courts; and Kayak Launches, Observation Decks and Community Gardens." These amenities may not be featured in every Chesapeake community, but buyers can visit the Chesapeake Homes’ website for specific amenities offered in each of their communities.

Location is of prime importance to Chesapeake Homes as it is to its buyers. The builder understands that buyers want to be near a bevy of conveniences so one’s new home will be close to the basic needs for day-to-day life such as shopping and dining venues as well as recreational fun and exploration. Hospitals and clinics, and schools are typically within a five-to-15-mile radius of Chesapeake Homes’ communities as well. Chesapeake Homes knows how desirable it is to be near attractions whether it be to enjoy a game of golf, a day on the beach, fishing with friends, dining out, retail therapy or a host of other desirable activities for all family members. Chesapeake Homes selects locations for their communities where one can enjoy life within and outside of one’s new community – as seen in Bridgewater in Little River and Heritage Park in Longs and soon to be realized at Traditions coming soon to Myrtle Beach.

Chesapeake Homes also understands that their new homes need to complement the lifestyle that their buyers want. That is why they offer a better than standard list of new homes features and a personalized process in home purchasing with their Design Gallery. To explain the "Experience The Quality" concept, South Carolina Division Manager Scott Floyd offered, "We feel strongly it’s obvious what makes us different from other builders you may come across during your new home search. We like to think that the entire experience a homebuyer has with us is unique, and as individual as they are in terms of what they need and want in a new home. Everything about how we "build" homes is different, from the materials we use, the products we offer and the plans we showcase. From the moment you step into our sales models you will see the reality for yourself as you tour and discover our plans, our features and our differences!"

"We hear from those who have bought homes from us, and we hear from those who come to us for the first time – 'you build a beautiful home'," added Sales Manager Brad Norris. "We load our homes with a variety of above the standard features, so a buyer feels as though they are getting much, much more when they build with us and in fact they are!"
Last but not least, once you decide to build with Chesapeake Homes, you will "Experience The Satisfaction" as the process begins to take shape. The technique of building a new home is extremely personal – for both builder and homebuyer. Initially you will get to visit the Design Gallery and meet with a design consultant to choose the elements which will create a home that reflects your personal style. The builder then keeps you abreast of the construction process and makes everyone aware of your new home’s updates throughout construction. There is a metamorphosis that happens, and you, the buyer, gets to experience it and understand the process along the way. The Chesapeake Homes' process may be a departure from traditional building practices, but it is what "separates us from "them" in that we feel it is important for a buyer to be involved and understand what goes where and why," added John Barnes. "We want you to see behind the drywall, in the attic space and below surfaces as your home takes shape. We also detail and outline our process in a comprehensive guide that we give to our buyers right from the start so that they know what to expect throughout the process."
