New Construction Cost Guide for Goose Creek, SC

Goose Creek is a production-home-oriented market built out by national and regional builders including Lennar, Mungo Homes, Beazer Homes, Dream Finders Homes, Hunter Quinn Homes, Eastwood Homes, and D.R. Horton, generally at a lower price point than Mount Pleasant or Daniel Island. Pricing varies significantly by builder, section, and product type, so price against the specific community you're targeting rather than a citywide average.

Development Impact Fees Are Under Review and May Change

The City of Goose Creek charges a development impact fee on new construction covering government facilities, police, fire, public works, and parks, and the city has recently commissioned a study to recalibrate these charges. Confirm the current impact fee schedule for your specific project with the city before finalizing your budget.

Confirm Your Jurisdiction Before You Budget

Some parcels near Goose Creek fall within city limits while others sit in unincorporated Berkeley County, and which one applies affects your permit fees and review process. Confirm your specific parcel's jurisdiction with the city or county before finalizing your construction budget.

Flood Zone Requirements Can Add to Your Site Costs

Homes built in mapped flood hazard areas must elevate the lowest floor above base flood elevation and cannot include a basement, which can add foundation costs depending on your lot. Confirm your parcel's flood zone status with the city before finalizing your site plan and budget.
