Award-Winning Builder Brings Luxury Lakefront Living to Harborside at Lake Carolina
March 13, 2026
New Homebuilder Debuts Elegant Custom Residences—with Deeded Boat Slips—in Columbia's Lake Carolina Community
COLUMBIA, S.C., March 13, 2026 — One of the Southeast's most decorated homebuilders is bringing its signature blend of architectural artistry and refined craftsmanship to Harborside, an exclusive enclave within northeast Columbia's sought-after Lake Carolina community. The builder—recognized as a Charleston Living Magazine’s Best of the Holy City 2025 and 2025 Regal Award winner —will offer a curated collection of elegant custom homes, including premier lakefront homesites and the rare opportunity to own a deeded boat slip on the Lake.
A Community Defined by the Water's Edge
Harborside is one of Lake Carolina's most coveted addresses, set along the shimmering shores of the lake that defines the entire community. Residents enjoy immediate access to the water, whether launching from their own deeded boat slip, relaxing on a lakefront homesite, or simply taking in the scenic views that make every day feel like a retreat.
Homesites within Harborside are limited, ensuring an intimate neighborhood character while preserving the natural beauty of the lake setting. Prospective buyers are encouraged to inquire early about available lakefront and lake-access locations.
Custom Design, Uncompromising Quality
Every residence at Harborside begins with a vision. The builder's team of professionals and craftsmen collaborate closely with each other and each homeowner to create a home that is as unique as the family who will live in it. From soaring ceilings and custom millwork to chef-caliber kitchens and spa-inspired owner's suites, every architectural detail is considered with intention.
The builder's commitment to interior merchandising excellence has earned acclaim—most recently the Best Product Design and Best Interior Merchandising awards at the Building Industry Association Sales & Marketing Council's 2025 Regal Awards. These honors reflect a design philosophy built on livability, beauty, and lasting value.
A Portfolio of Signature Communities
Harborside at Lake Carolina joins an impressive portfolio of communities that has established the builder as one of the region's most trusted names in luxury residential construction. The company's work at Kiawah River, Dye Club Cottages, and Linkside at LongCreek Plantation, showcases their ability to deliver cohesive, thoughtfully planned neighborhoods that enhance their natural surroundings. Additional neighborhoods include Park Island, Paradise Island, Park West, along with several others. Fox Creek Homes has recently expanded into Myrtle Beach, on the coast of South Carolina.
The builder also maintains an active custom home presence, bringing the same precision and personalization to one-of-a-kind private residences for discerning clients throughout coastal South Carolina and the midlands.
“People who have seen our new community have experienced why Haborside is different than other new communities. In Harborside, we designed every home to have its own unique elevations. We have included many details that make each home unlike the others. Every home has its own dock or a boat slip at our private marina on the lake. Lake views are present on every home and throughout the community. We are excited to be the last available lots in an iconic Haborside Community."
— Brian Gardner, Owner & Founder of Fox Creek Homes
