“The Isles at RiverTowne Country Club represents
our most ambitious community development to

Thrower, Coastal Carolina Division President.
“We’re extremely pleased to be able to offer homes

communities—and site of the only Arnold Palmer
Signature golf course in all of Charleston.”
Created with today’s active families in mind, the
amenities at RiverTowne Country Club are among
the finest to be found in the region. At its heart, a
stunning Arnold Palmer-designed Signature golf
course will meander through pristine oak and
pine forests along the waters of Horlbeck Creek

That’s the winning appeal of Centex Homes’ newest
Charleston area community, The Isles at RiverTowne
Country Club.
Stretching across more than 516 marsh, wooded
and riverfront acres within the prestigious
RiverTowne Country Club community in Mount
Pleasant, The Isles at RiverTowne Country Club
brings together all the elements of the good life.
A picturesque, unspoiled setting. Convenient
location. Family-friendly amenities. Elegant new
homes. A prestigious club. And superb golf by one
of the most respected names in the history of the
sport: Arnold Palmer.
here’s a special way of living
found only in the South.
Where the welcome is as
warm as a spring day.
The breezes are as sweet
as a cool glass of tea.
And nothing beats pulling
up your favorite rocking
chair and relaxing with
friends for a spell.
It’s a way of living that’s
beautifully embodied in
the new Lowcountry
Series by Centex
Homes—a collection of
handsome antebellum-
style homes now
available in some
of Mt. Pleasant’s
premier residential
communities,
including The Gallery
at Charleston
National, Seaside
Farms, and The Isles
at Rivertowne
Country Club.
“Centex Homes set out to
create a portfolio of homes
with a true regional flavor
specifically for our coastal
South Carolina market,”
explained Jay Thrower, Coastal
Carolina Division President.
“After extensive research, our
product development team
created the ten home plans
currently available in our new
Lowcountry Series.
“Each one blends old-
fashioned charm and modern
convenience, with genuine
Coastal Carolina style.”
Recalling the best of
traditional Southern
architecture, these stately homes feature
elevated drive-under designs, raised high to
capture afternoon breezes. The homes include a
wide array of authentic details such as wide front
and rear porches, perfect for relaxing with family
and friends. There are charming shuttered
windows, dormers and French doors. And inside,
high ceilings and elegant moldings remind one of
gracious days gone by.
“When we were developing the Lowcountry
Series, one of our primary objectives was to
create homes that had a friendly, nostalgic
feeling, but with the kind of flexible interior
space and features that today’s sophisticated
homebuyer demands.”
To that end, all the new Lowcountry Series homes
offer bright, open interior spaces…lots of glass to
construction of each
Lowcountry Series home,”
added Thrower. “It’s the
kind of craftsmanship that
has made Centex Homes
one of America’s Top Ten
Homebuilders and
earned extremely high
satisfaction ratings from
our customers.”
Like every Centex home,
that quality begins
with the finest name-
brand materials and
continues through
award-winning
customer service.
Currently, the
Lowcountry Series
portfolio of homes
includes ten one- and
two-story floorplans,
each with two exterior
elevations in a choice
of Cemplank siding or
stucco. Sizes range
from approximately
2,000 square feet to over 3,000
square feet. Prices begin in the
mid $200s, including
landscaped homesite.
We invite you to come preview
the new Lowcountry Series
home models at The Gallery
at Charleston National and
Seaside Farms today—and
coming soon to The Isles at
Rivertowne Country Club.

or many companies,
the process of home
building begins—and
ends—with the act of
construction itself.
But for Centex Homes,
the process of home
building begins—and
ends—very simply:
with you.
From choosing the
most desirable
locations to creating
easy-living home
plans with today’s
most requested
features…from providing outstanding customer
communications and service to providing the
industry’s best home warranty program…Centex
Homes understands that when you put your
customer first, everything else will fall into place.
With our staff of sales consultants, interior
designers, and construction professionals—as well as
our own in-house mortgage
lending operation—the
Centex Homes team can
guide you through the entire
home buying and building
process and take care of all
your needs in one place.
IT ALL BEGINS
WITH RESEARCH
Thorough market research is
the first step in successfully
creating dream homes for hundreds of Charleston
area families each year.
From intensive focus groups to phone, internet
and homeowner surveys, the full-time research
staff of Centex Homes’ Coastal Carolina Division is
before settlement and at closing—and contact them
approximately every ten days throughout the
homebuilding process.
McLoud added that Centex Homes has also recently
instituted new programs to keep in touch with
owners well after closing.
Now, during the final walk-through with their Field
Manager, new homeowners are also introduced to a
dedicated Customer Service Representative who is
assigned to their community.
The customer service representative contacts the owners
several times after closing to ensure that everything
is fine—or to address any issues that come up.
“Our owners really appreciate the fact there is
always someone they can contact who knows them,
knows their home and understands their concerns,”
says McLoud.
“After all,” he concludes, “At Centex Homes we build
more than just houses. We work hard to build long-
lasting relationships with our homeowners.”
dedicated to
learning what
homebuyers
really want.
“The days of
‘build it and they
will come’ are
gone,” explained
Strategic
Marketing
Manager
Shannon
Sullivan. “Today’s
SATISFACTION IS BUILT IN
You might think that once you’ve
developed the kind of home plans
people want—in the most
desired locations—your job
would be done.
But not for Centex Homes.
We work hard to build satisfaction
into every home we sell.
In fact, according to Lee McLoud,
Director of Construction Services
for Centex Homes’ Charleston
F
homebuyer is
much more
knowledgeable
and educated, and today’s market—especially
here in Charleston—is much more competitive.”
That’s why it’s critical to continually assess and
reassess the expectations of homebuyers and the
products offered to fulfill them.
“Because people want more flexibility,” Sullivan
continued, “we’re currently redesigning some of
our plans to offer flexspace, like bonus rooms,
that can be used for many different purposes.”
Sullivan added that Centex strives to create home
plans and communities that satisfy people at all
stages of life, whether they’re couples just starting
out, families with young children, empty-nesters or
active retirees.
An excellent example: the new Charleston Singles
homes coming to The Bridges of Summerville.
Clustered around winding sidewalks, these
charming single-family homes will offer an
appealing alternative to luxury apartment living for
young professional couples. The architectural style
will be reminiscent of traditional Charleston row
homes, with a wide variety of plans, sizes and prices.

remarkable 93% satisfaction
rating from its homeowners
after closing.
“We’re proud of the high ratings we receive from
our homeowners,” says McLoud. “But that kind of
satisfaction doesn’t just happen on its own.”
The key, says McLoud, lies in superior training and
communication skills.
To that end, Centex Homes Field Managers
receive more than 60 hours of training in quality
assurance and customer service. During the
building process they meet with homeowners at
several predetermined points—including before
construction begins, before sheetrock is placed,

uring the past holiday season,
Centex Homes was proud to lend a
hand—and a hammer—to build a
brand new Habitat for Humanity
home for a fortunate family in
downtown Charleston.
The project was part of Centex Homes’ corporate
commitment to the organization to build 100 homes
nationwide over a five-year period.
The new home was completed in approximately one
month—just in time for the happy owner and her son
to celebrate the holidays. Carefully adapted to fit in with
its downtown neighborhood, the 1,045-square-foot
structure featured three bedrooms, one bath and a
small front porch. It was the first two-story home built
by Habitat For Humanity in the Charleston area.
Completing the home in time for the holidays
required the generosity, hard work and
coordination of a wide variety of subcontractors
and vendors—many of whom donated their time
