Homes in The Landings at New Riverside are single-family homes built by Pulte Homes, built primarily beginning in 2018, with two-car garages standard across the community. The community totals 220 homes. Home sizes range from roughly 1,800 to 3,800 square feet, with 2 to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 4 bathrooms.
The community is designed around lower exterior maintenance than many single-family neighborhoods, which tends to appeal to buyers who want a lock-and-leave property without giving up a private garage and yard space.
The Landings at New Riverside offers a full slate of recreational amenities included in the HOA, all located inside the gate:
Based on a flood zone map Carl pulled on September 3, 2026, most of The Landings at New Riverside sits in FEMA Flood Zone X, which is outside FEMA's Special Flood Hazard Area. Flood zone boundaries can be redrawn over time and can vary lot by lot, so buyers should confirm the flood zone for a specific address using FEMA's flood map service or a licensed surveyor before making a purchase decision.
Homes in The Landings at New Riverside carry monthly HOA dues that cover the pool, tennis and pickleball courts, playground, picnic pavilion, fire pit, leisure trails, garbage service, and the gated entrance. A one-time transfer fee applies at closing. Because dues and fees change over time, current amounts are best confirmed on Carl's Bluffton HOA Fees and Transfer Fees guide, which he keeps updated.
There are no golf or club membership dues associated with The Landings at New Riverside because it is not a golf community.
The Landings at New Riverside is served by the Beaufort County School District, including Pritchardville Elementary School, H.E. McCracken Middle School, and May River High School. Attendance zones can change, so buyers should confirm the elementary, middle, and high school assigned to a specific property directly with the district.
I've lived in the SC Lowcountry since December 1996, and I've watched the New Riverside area of Bluffton grow from mostly undeveloped land into one of the area's more active newer neighborhoods. What stands out to me about The Landings at New Riverside is how much recreational amenity is packed into a gated single-family home community of this size. Tennis, pickleball, a pool, a playground, a covered picnic pavilion, and a fire pit all inside one gate is a lot of lifestyle value for a newer, well-built home. I've worked with several buyers who were drawn to The Landings specifically because of the newer construction and the design choices in these homes.
The Landings at New Riverside tends to fit buyers looking for a gated single-family home with a two-car garage and a strong recreational amenity package, without golf or club dues attached. It can work well for relocation buyers, buyers who want a full-time or part-time Lowcountry home they can lock and leave, and buyers who value tennis and pickleball access close to home.
Buyers whose primary goal is generating short-term rental income should look elsewhere, since short-term rentals are not permitted here.
