Summerville Neighborhoods Near the Ashley River

[Jason Merchey]

Does anyone have any intel about buying fixer-uppers in older neighborhoods where you can find some ugly houses but some good ones too - like maybe Ashborough or Archdale in the Dorchester Rd. part of Summerville - but which are close to the Ashley? I know some of those areas flood. How should flooding (past, future) figure into your buy-rehab-sell plan?

Need to be concerned more about the feeder streams to the Ashley in Summerville such as the Sawbranch where neigborhoods back up to it.  Ashborough East is one and also Arbor Oaks.  Most of Ashborough that backs up to Ashley River is high ground except the part down by Lake Ashborough.
