Pulte Homes (formerly Centex Homes)
Today - under a canopy of centuries - old oaks, by lazy creeks and sweeping marshlands - a new community is taking shape.
Trying to imagine Carolina Bay (a Pulte Homes community) picture lazy tidal creeks nestled beside sweeping wetlands and beautiful marshes that lead to the historic Ashley River. Enjoy the beauty 
of the land by day, and relax at night listening to the sounds of Nature - this is the feeling: the peace that living in the Lowcountry brings. This is also the epitome of Carolina Bay, a place of harmony and serenity - a simpler way of life in the Lowcountry - an area recognized as one of the most picturesque in the world.
While Carolina Bay seems miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it is conveniently located west of the Ashley, only seven miles from downtown Charleston. It will be built in stages, taking into consideration the natural beauty of the land and the environment.
Picture lazy tidal creeks nestled Carolina Bay's 1,000 acres are shaded
by ancient oaks and pines, dotted with
magnolia and bay trees, and bordered
by marshlands. Here you'll 
find a
variety of distinctive neighborhoods
and home styles that blend into a rich
tapestry with nature, linked by tranquil
parks and common green spaces and
unified by a sense of community. All of
this is backed by Centex Homes' reputation
as one of the nation's preeminent
home builders
(now Pulte Homes).
Carolina Bay will ultimately be comprised of eight villages with more than 1,900 residences that will include Charleston single homes, cottages, town houses and condominiums. This project is being carefully developed by Centex Homes to preserve and protect the wetlands and surrounding environment.
A new urban town center planned
for the heart of Carolina Bay will be anchored
by live/work town houses, 
office
space and retail shops. The town center
will serve as a common area where
diverse inhabitants of Carolina Bay can
converge and
connect. Carolina
Bay will be a
unique community
within greater Charleston - a place
where residents can walk to work, shop
and enjoy the natural beauty of the area,
as well as the many amenities offered.
The master plan for Carolina Bay will include a nature trail that is carefully woven into the fabric of the land, winding past shady live oaks and palmettos and along bluffs and marshes that bind the community together. Plans also call for an on - site elementary school, so children can attend school in the safety of their own community, with friends from their own neighborhood.
Elegant town homes, quaint cottages
and homes for a growing family
are linked through an innovative network
of quiet roads, paths and trails.
Centex also partnered with renowned
architect Eric Moser to offer a collection
of his
Lowcountry - inspired plans.
Three communities are now open:
Cypress, Tidewater and Salt Grass.
Cypress at Carolina Bay offers a wide selection of prestigious homes replete with top - of - the - line features such as vaulted ceilings, gourmet kitchens and sumptuous bedroom suites. Choose from six house plans with up to 3,200 square feet of beautifully appointed interior space.
Salt Grass at Carolina Bay was
inspired by the classic architecture of
downtown Charleston, 
with wraparound
porches and traditional details
on the exterior. The interior caters to
the needs of today's
families, with open,
airy living rooms,
large, open kitchens,
and luxurious bedroom suites.
Tidewater offers town homes with the space and comfort of a single - family home but with the convenience of luxury town house living. Interior detailing adds custom elegance and style.
The beauty of Carolina Bay is its unique variety of neighborhoods, discerning house plans, and price ranges that allow everyone to enjoy the experience of a planned community with leisure trails, parks, and a host of things to do.
PULTE/CENTEX: In August of 2009 Pulte Homes merged with Centex Homes creating the largest US volume home builder. In some cases Pulte actually rebranded former Centex homes communities, including new floorplan selections for some new homes communities.
