Erskine College President's House, Due West
Abbeville County Housing
Abbeville County has several historic communities that offer some of the most attractive residential opportunities in the Upstate. Surrounding the historic square in downtown Abbeville are some of the most beautiful, southern style homes in the region that date back as early as the 1850Ős.
The quaint college town of Due West also provides a good selection of elegant homes, many of which were built when the college was founded.
For those seeking new construction, one of the most scenic and fastest growing areas of the county is Lake Secession located in the northwest portion of the county not far from Anderson, SC. Lake front housing opportunities draw a number of year-round residents seeking the beauty of the lake and all its amenities such as boating, fishing, swimming and 4th of July parade of boats.
Several subdivisions are also located throughout the County that feature executive home sites. The communities of Deer Run, Dungannon and Timberland Trails offer large lots, protective covenants, picturesque settings and good access to shopping. For those desiring golf course communities, HunterŐs Creek and the soon to be developed Lakeside at Lake Russell provide a good mix of housing opportunities from patio homes to executive mansions.
In 2000, the average price of a 2,000 square foot home in Abbeville County was approximately $90,000 for existing properties and $115,000 for new construction.
