Del Webb Charleston buyers now have three communities to choose from, and each is at a different stage. Del Webb at Cane Bay is fully built and sells only as resale. Del Webb Charleston at Nexton is still under construction, but its clubhouse is open. Del Webb Point Hope is the newest and the closest to downtown, but its clubhouse is still planned. If you want a new home with amenities you can use today, we suggest starting at Nexton, where base prices begin at $379,990. If price comes first, start with Cane Bay resales.
This guide compares floor plan prices, clubhouse status, driving distances, taxes and dues, and each figure carries its date. For a wider look at every age-restricted option in the area, our Charleston and Summerville 55+ communities guide covers non-Del Webb choices and the rules that apply to all of them.
Charleston's Del Webb Communities at a Glance
The table below puts the three communities side by side. Builder figures come from Del Webb's community pages and listing figures come from MLS data on our website. Del Webb no longer publishes a page for Cane Bay, so we use build details from local real estate guides that match theirs.

|---|---|---|---|
| Location | Cane Bay Plantation, Summerville area | Nexton, Summerville area | Cainhoy Peninsula, City of Charleston |

Listing medians include every home for sale in each community. They mix new and resale homes at Nexton, and they shift as homes come and go. Point Hope's median is far above its lowest base price, so compare finished homes as well as starting prices.
Same Del Webb Floor Plans, Different Prices
Nexton and Point Hope sell the same 11 single-story plans. The plan names and minimum square footage match, except the Mainstay, which is 1 sq. ft. smaller at Point Hope. That makes the base-price gap a fair starting point. Standard features, lot sizes, and lot premiums can still differ, so ask each sales office for its list of included features before you compare.
| Plan | Min. sq. ft. | Nexton base price | Point Hope base price | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Contour | 1,345 | $379,990 | $534,990 | $155,000 |

Del Webb's plan pages don't always update at the same moment as the community page. Ask the sales office for a dated price sheet before you compare, or contact us, and we can provide this info.
Cane Bay isn't in this table because building there ended around 2017. Its homes came from an older plan library, so a resale won't match these plan names.
Del Webb at Cane Bay, the Finished Resale-Only Community
Del Webb at Cane Bay was the first of the three. Del Webb built roughly 1,000 homes here from 2007 to about 2017. The builder no longer sells there, so all purchases are resales.
What You Get at Cane Bay
The community is gated. The center is The Resort, a clubhouse of about 20,000 sq. ft. with indoor and outdoor pools, located at 325 Palmetto Point Drive in Summerville.
Del Webb at Cane Bay is one section of the larger Cane Bay Plantation. The master community has its own lake and amenities, which are separate from the Del Webb clubhouse.
Why Price Leads at Cane Bay
We see Del Webb at Cane Bay as a lower-cost way to enter a Del Webb community near Charleston. Cane Bay's median list price of $396,106 was about $215,000 below Nexton's median, and its average price per sq. ft. of $218 was the lowest of the three. A median reflects the market's middle, so some Cane Bay homes can still cost less than individual homes in Nexton.
The trade-off is age. A home built in 2008 may need a roof, HVAC system, or water heater sooner than a new build would. Many of these homes may be past their original builder warranty, so we ask whether any coverage remains on the home you're considering. Budget for an inspection that looks closely at those systems, and ask the seller for repair records.
Cane Bay listings have been on our site an average of 117 days, compared with 28 at Point Hope. That figure shows how long current listings have been posted, not how fast homes sell. View current homes on our Del Webb at Cane Bay homes-for-sale page.
