Discover the Ultimate Staycation at Nexton
When you call Nexton home, every day living can start to feel like you're on a permanent vacation. That's because Nexton was designed to bring the best of Lowcountry living right to your front door. From scenic parks and a resort-style pool to world-class dining and a jam-packed activities calendar, you can choose a different itinerary every week of the year. A staycation at Nexton offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure for every member of your family...without the added hassle of extensive travel.
Staycation Starters
Start your day with a leisurely stroll or bike ride along the miles of beautifully maintained trails that wind through the community. These paths are perfect for morning exercise or simply enjoying the natural beauty of the area. The parks and green spaces scattered throughout Nexton provide serene spots to relax, have a picnic, or enjoy a book under the shade of a tree. As you meander past the many ponds and waterways that dot the community, pause and admire the wading birds patiently waiting for a snack. Some months bring a half dozen or more species to the region, allowing residents to admire Great Blue and Green Herons, Snowy and Little Egrets, and even Wood Storks on the regular.
Prefer your morning stroll lead to a destination or experience? Let your feet guide you to The Co-Op, where you can fuel up on $1 drip coffee and a breakfast sandwich. Want more? Scurry a little further for a full spread from Page's Okra Grill, Poogan's Southern Kitchen, or Vicious Biscuit, all of which are celebrated dining destinations that have delighted diners from near and far.
Midday Marvels
After a crowd-pleasing breakfast, head over to Midtown Clubhouse and pick your fun. The resort-style pool offers lap lanes, a beach-entry for littles or those who like to ease in, and a shallow in-pool lounging area. Nearby, the shaded deck area features a ping pong table, shuffleboard, and tables and chairs, so you can take a break from the sun without missing out on any fun.
Inside, kickback on the living room area with a board game or cocktail, or get some steps and reps in the gym. Enjoy the cardio machines and free weights, or time your visit to coincide with a yoga or pilates class. Can't imagine a vacation without the satisfying smack of ball to racket? Our Pickleball and Tennis courts combine camaraderie and cardio for a fitness routine that builds muscle and brings smiles. Truly staycation approved!
Our vibrant retail centers offer a delightful mix of shops, boutiques, and eateries. Spend the afternoon browsing unique local stores, catch a live music performance, and follow your nose to lunchtime. If you're in Nexton Square, Fuji Sushi and D'Allessandro's Pizza can't be beat for high-quality foods and great atmospheres. In The Hub, check out LPC Kitchen for high-end, creative pizzas and pastas. In North Creek, Agaves Cantina is a regional favorite.
Evenings around the neighborhood
After an epic dinner at Halls Chophouse, often voted among the top restaurants in the state of South Carolina, you'll find the evening's just begun.
Take advantage of the Nexton's vast entertainment options. Our POA has a dedicated fun department hosting all manner of events from large scale concerts and parties to mini-events like scavenger hunts and summer game nights.
