What makes Summerville unique for downsizers?

Summerville offers downsizers a mix of established, walkable neighborhoods and newer HOA-maintained communities within the same town, a range that lets someone choose between staying near old routines or moving into a lower-upkeep property nearby without leaving the area. That variety is wider than what a smaller Lowcountry town can offer a downsizing buyer. Brian Beatty shortlists Summerville streets and communities based on which of those two paths a specific downsizer actually wants.
