National Night Out at Nexton: An Evening of Food, Fun & Community Connection

At Nexton, community isn’t just a concept—it’s a way of life. From welcoming front porches to the trails that link neighbors together, it's a place built for connection. And on Monday, August 5, we're inviting you to come together for National Night Out, happening from 6–8 PM on the Midtown Clubhouse lawn.

This beloved nationwide event is all about building stronger bonds between first responders and the communities they serve. It’s a celebration of safety, service, and the spirit of neighborhood togetherness—and this year’s event at Nexton promises to be something special.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

Live music from Lowcountry favorite Lauren Hall
Food trucks, including Lost Boys and Snow Biz
Balloon twisting and temporary tattoos for the kids
A visit from the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office
An appearance by our local fire department
A fun build-your-own piggy bank craft sponsored by CPM Federal Credit Union
Classic games and plenty of space to dance barefoot under the summer sky

Nexton is also supporting local teachers by collecting school supplies for the Teacher Supply Closet—a simple way to give back while enjoying a night out.

More than just a block party, National Night Out is a chance to come together as neighbors, thank our local heroes, and show pride in our safe, vibrant community. Whether you’re new to Nexton or have been here for years, this is one event you won’t want to miss.

So grab your family, bring a blanket or a lawn chair, and join us for an evening of connection, music, and hometown spirit.

We can’t wait to see you there!

Homes That Understand Families: Space to Grow, Space to Breathe

Let’s face it—kids don’t travel light. From car seats and sippy cups to soccer cleats and science projects, family life fills up fast. That’s why homes in Nexton are designed for the way real families live—messy, joyful, busy, and always evolving.

Built for Life, Not Just for Looks
Nexton homes go beyond square footage. They’re built with intention—every inch planned with how you actually use your home in mind.

Flexible floorplans make it easy to adapt as your family’s needs change. One room might be a playroom today, a quiet homework zone tomorrow, and a guest suite when Grandma visits. These spaces are designed to evolve with you—no remodeling required.

Open-concept living areas and kitchens keep everyone connected. So whether you're cooking dinner while keeping an eye on a toddler tea party or helping with homework at the island, it all flows naturally.

Some homes even feature built-in homework stations tucked into hallways or cozy nooks. They’re perfect for focused study, a mini home office, or a craft corner—ready to multitask right along with you.

Take Pulte Homes’ Planning Center, for example—a smart, central space that becomes your command hub for daily life. It can manage mail, host a Zoom call, or corral craft supplies—all without taking over your kitchen counter.

And when it’s time to unwind? Primary suites offer a peaceful retreat with spa-style bathrooms, walk-in closets, and even quiet corners for a good book—or late-night rocking sessions.

Everyday Function, Baked In
Family life gets messy. Nexton homes are ready.

Drop zones and mudrooms with built-in cubbies, benches, and hooks catch the chaos before it reaches your living room. Morning routines get smoother, and the house stays tidier—win-win.

Some builders even offer dual laundry setups, with washers and dryers both upstairs and down. That’s fewer stair trips and more time doing…well, anything else.

And don’t worry about storage. From walk-in pantries to under-stair closets and garages that fit actual gear (bikes, bins, and bulk everything), it’s all been thought through.

Room to Spread Out—Without Moving Out
As your family grows and changes, so can your space.

Think casitas in New Leaf’s Courtyard Collection—charming guest suites with their own entrances and living areas, just steps from the main home. Ideal for aging parents, college students, or anyone who needs a bit of independence with the comfort of home nearby.

Other homes offer FROGs (Finished Rooms Over Garage), perfect for a quiet office, creative studio, or an apartment-style hangout for young adults easing into independence.

Where Style Meets Real Life
These homes aren’t just functional—they’re beautiful, too.

Expect sunlit rooms, cozy porches, and finishes that balance durability with designer appeal. Every material and color is chosen to stand up to daily life and look good doing it.

So yes, your home can survive snack spills and still feel magazine-worthy.

Designed for the Way You Live
Nexton homes are built by award-winning builders who understand that modern families need more than just bedrooms and bathrooms. They need smart layouts, flexible spaces, and practical features that make life smoother—and more enjoyable.

Whether you’re just starting out, raising a house full of kids, or caring for multiple generations under one roof, you’ll find a home here that simply makes sense.

Need space to grow? You’ll find it here in Nexton.

Midtown Middle School Hits a Major Milestone

Exciting things are happening in Midtown—especially for local families. The future Midtown Middle School just reached a major construction milestone, officially topping out its structure ahead of its planned August 2026 opening.

To celebrate this pivotal moment, the project team held a traditional “topping off” ceremony, marking the placement of the final beam at the highest point of the building. It’s a long-standing construction tradition and a powerful symbol that this long-anticipated addition to the community is well on its way.

Built for the Heart of the Neighborhood
Set right in the center of Midtown, the new middle school is being built with the same thoughtful design and intention that defines all of Nexton. Once open, it will serve students living just steps away—making morning routines easier and school-day commutes walkable, bikeable, and stress-free.

A Community Rooted in Education

From day one, education has been a core part of Nexton’s DNA—not an afterthought, but a foundation. Schools aren’t just nearby; they’re integrated into the everyday rhythm of life here.

It all started with Nexton Elementary, which opened in 2015 and became an instant anchor for the community. Located right within the neighborhood, it gives families the convenience of walking to school, plus the added bonus of turning school events into community gatherings.

Nexton also offers trusted early learning centers like The Goddard School and Nexton KinderCare, giving young children a strong, joyful start—and parents peace of mind, knowing care is just minutes from home.

Now, Midtown Middle is the next step forward. It creates a natural learning progression for families, allowing kids to grow academically without ever having to leave the neighborhood. It’s another way Nexton supports families who want to plant roots and stay for the long haul.

Education That Grows with You
But learning in Nexton doesn’t stop at middle school. Whether you're pursuing a degree or brushing up on a new skill, higher education institutions are nearby too. Lifelong learning is part of the culture here—because growth never really stops.

In short, Nexton understands that strong communities begin with strong schools. Whether your child is heading into preschool, middle school, or beyond, there’s a path here that keeps you close, connected, and supported every step of the way.

Stay tuned—there’s much more to come as construction progresses and we count down to opening day!
