Hardeeville, South Carolina – New Affordable Housing Project Announced
Waterford Pointe Apartments, a new residential development, is set to provide 312 affordable housing units in Jasper County by early 2027. This initiative by Stoneleigh Companies aims to address the increasing demand for affordable living options in the surrounding region, particularly Beaufort County. The complex will be strategically located across the street from The Retreat on East Argent Parkway in Hardeeville, with groundbreaking scheduled for April 2026.
Development Overview
The Waterford Pointe Apartments will span across 12 buildings, creating a total of 312 units consisting of one to three-bedroom apartments. Residents can expect living spaces that will range from 590 to 1,409 square feet. The architectural design incorporates modern features such as 9-foot ceilings, quartz countertops, USB outlets, hardwood-inspired luxury flooring, and energy-efficient LED lighting.
The development will also include a 5,000-square-foot clubhouse, which will feature a range of amenities designed for community engagement and recreation. Facilities within the clubhouse will encompass a resident lounge, a staffed kitchen, a game room, a fitness studio, a tech lounge, and a conference room. Additionally, outdoor areas will be well-equipped with amenities such as a swimming pool, putting greens, a dog park, a pickleball court, a gazebo overlooking a lagoon, and extensive walking trails, offering approximately 14,000 square feet of outdoor space.
Market Context
Rick Cavenaugh, president of Stoneleigh Companies, highlighted the tremendous growth in Hardeeville over the past seven years, noting that there is a limited future supply of apartments in the area. This new project is seen as a solution to counterbalance the shortage of affordable housing options for residents in Jasper County and the neighboring Beaufort County. The growing population and increasing demand for housing have made the development of Waterford Pointe Apartments a timely endeavor.
Management and Pricing Details
The apartments will be managed by Waterford Residential, the property management affiliate of Stoneleigh Companies. While specific rental prices have yet to be determined, marketing efforts indicate that the rents will likely be set at the upper end of the market for comparable apartments in the region. This pricing strategy reflects the quality and range of facilities offered at the Waterford Pointe Apartments, aiming to attract a diverse group of tenants looking for affordable yet modern living options.
Looking Ahead
The Waterford Pointe Apartments project not only signifies a positive step towards addressing the housing crisis but also presents an opportunity for the local economy to thrive. With construction set to begin in April 2026 and a completion timeline established for early 2027, the project is anticipated to contribute significantly to the community, enhancing the quality of life for its future residents.
This development sets a new standard for affordable housing in the region, aiming to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population while providing quality living spaces equipped with modern amenities. As the project progresses, further information regarding rental prices and leasing will be disclosed, providing clearer insights for prospective tenants.
