Why is new construction in Moncks Corner different from its older neighborhoods?

New construction in Moncks Corner generally differs from the town's older neighborhoods in building codes, materials and layout, since homes built to current code include updated wiring, insulation and storm-resistant construction standards an older home was never required to meet. Newer subdivisions also tend to come with an HOA and amenities that older, more established streets typically do not have. That difference shows up in insurance cost and maintenance needs as much as in the home's price.
