Bluffton Park
Charleston-inspired homes sit behind sidewalk-lined streets
Sidewalks run in front of nearly every home in Bluffton Park, sprinkled with leaves from mature trees. Small cement paths connect porches from the sidewalk, so residents often wave to passing strollers from Adirondacks or rocking chairs. A few homes have Charleston-inspired double-decker porches with room for more outdoor furniture. Each contemporary colonial, cottage and Lowcountry style home was built in the early 21st century on a small lot just under a quarter-acre. A few white-picket fences enclose manicured front lawns, and taller privacy fences close off backyards. Residents tend to their yards in Bluffton Park, and many folks have mulch gardens, hanging plants and trimmed shrubbery. Back alleyways provide access to two-car garages and space to stow trash bins. Cottages cost between $330,000 and $400,000, while colonial and Lowcountry homes list from $400,000 to $500,000. The area's few townhomes typically cost between $330,000 and $400,000. "It's more affordable than many communities in the area," Skrip says. "In another life, I would choose to live here."
