FAQ: Common Questions About New Construction Homes in Simpsonville

Q: How long do new construction homes in Simpsonville take from planning to move-in?
A: It depends. If the home is “move-in ready,” you might be able to close in a few months. For homes in planning / build-to-order (where you pick plan, lot, finishes) it could take 6-12 months or more. Builder backlog, season, and custom-options can extend timeline.

Q: What costs should I expect outside the base build price?
A: Always factor in options/upgrades (flooring, fixtures, kitchen appliances), lot premiums (especially for estate or wooded lots), landscaping, driveway, etc. Also expect closing costs, taxes, impact fees. If there’s a homeowners association (HOA), there are dues. Sometimes builder-warranty fees or upgrade packages add up.

Q: What school district are these in?
A: Most of these communities are in the Greenville County school district. Specific schools vary: e.g., Coachman Reserve is served by Rudolph G. Gordon Elementary & Middle, new Fountain Inn High School. Woodcrest Hills also indicates Greenville schools. Always check with builder / school district to confirm which lot is zoned for which school. 

Q: What is cost per square foot like in these new construction homes in Simpsonville?
A: It varies a lot depending on community, finishes, lot type. For example, in Woodcrest Hills, smaller homes (1,700-2,700 sq ft) from $380,995-$432,995 give you a lower cost per sq ft. In upscale places like Coachman Reserve, you see $580,000+ for 3,000-4,500 sq ft, so higher cost per square foot. If you pick more upgrades or premium lot, that boosts cost per square foot.

Quick tips for touring new construction

• Bring a checklist: storage, natural light, outlet placement, and ceiling height matter.

• Ask about upgrades vs. standard features and get costs in writing.

• Confirm timelines for completion and the builder warranty details.

• Compare lot orientation — backyard view and sun exposure can make a big difference.

There’s a lot to like when searching for new construction homes in Simpsonville — whether you want a maintenance-friendly townhome, a craftsman single-family with modern siding, or a luxury build from a national builder. Each offers different strengths depending on what you value: walkability, customization, low maintenance, or premium finishes. Take a weekend to tour a few models — you might be surprised how different the same square footage can feel with another builder’s layout and finishes.
