On our community platform, powered by Cobu, neighbors have shared more than 1,200 posts and comments and built their own interest groups around food, pickleball, pets, and more.

It is a warm, active community, and the daily activity shows it. Life Inside The Radler: What Residents Actually Do Here The clearest picture of our community comes from the genuine things neighbors do for one another. A resident asks to borrow an upholstery cleaner, and neighbors offer one up. Someone gives away a jute rug, a blanket stand, or a bed rail for free rather than tossing it. Another posts a friendly heads-up about the building or offers to help move heavy packages. These small, thoughtful gestures are what turn a group of residents into a real community. Neighbors here also connect easily over shared interests. Residents organize casual meetups, from a retro video game night in the clubhouse to a moms' group hangout at the pool. New residents introduce themselves and quickly find their place in the community's interest groups. It all adds up to a place where making friends feels natural. The Events and Social Scene If you like having things to do close to home, our community delivers. We have hosted 30 resident events in the past year. Our Summer Farmer's Market Pop-Up drew 43 RSVPs, and a group outing to a Charleston RiverDogs baseball game brought in 31. The variety keeps things interesting. Neighbors have gathered for Rodeo Radler, a Not-So-Spooky Trivia Night, a Matcha on the Mat session, and a Croissants and Crosswalks morning. Many of these events happen in our shared spaces, so it is worth exploring our amenities to see where neighbors come together. The turnout reflects a community that genuinely enjoys spending time with one another. What Residents Talk About Every Day The conversations on our community platform show what matters to the people who live here. Food is a favorite topic, with neighbors trading recommendations for Nexton and Summerville restaurants. Practical help is another common thread, from requests to borrow tools to questions about trusted local housekeepers. And the marketplace stays busy, with residents buying, selling, and giving away furniture, decor, and household items rather than starting from scratch. Neighbors also use the platform to share creative projects, like handmade crocheted plushies, and to organize get-togethers. It is a practical, friendly hub for everyday life at The Radler. Interest Groups One of the easiest ways to meet people at The Radler is through our resident interest groups. The Foodie Group leads the way with 82 members, followed by a Pickleball Players group with 52 and a Tasting Club with 42. Dog owners connect in the 34-member Dog Group, and there are also groups for moms, golfers, and retro gaming fans. The range of these groups shows a community with wide interests and plenty of ways to plug in. The Neighborhood Through Residents' Eyes Our residents love the Downtown Nexton location, and their recommendations paint a clear picture of the neighborhood. For dining, Naan at Nexton is praised for its flavorful Indian food and welcoming staff, Cielo Mexican Kitchen for its authentic Mexican cuisine, and Bad Daddy's Burger Bar for its burgers and atmosphere. Coffee lovers head to Summit Coffee for its specialty drinks, Ruby's Bagels for New York-style bagels, and BKeD Shop for one-of-a-kind donuts. When residents want to get outside, the Nexton trail system offers miles of walking and biking paths right outside the door, and nearby Azalea Park in Summerville is a favorite for its ponds, sculptures, and lush greenery. For a beach day, Folly Beach is an easy trip. For shopping, Harris Teeter and Target handle the essentials, with the Tanger Outlets for a bigger day out. Nearly everything our residents love is close by. Is The Radler Worth It?

Neighbors know each other, the events calendar stays full, and the interest groups make it easy to belong.
