That's right — there are only 11 opportunities left to build your New Leaf home at Riverlights.

For more than five years, we’ve had the privilege of building homes here for families at every stage of life—from those just starting their journey together to empty nesters ready to embrace their next chapter.

Every family has a story, and every home holds a different kind of meaning. We’re so grateful for the homeowners who have welcomed New Leaf into their lives and allowed us to be part of their journey. The relationships we’ve built and the memories being made in these homes mean so much to us.

While it’s bittersweet to see our time building new homes at Riverlights coming to a close, we’re incredibly proud of the community we’ve helped create and the families who now call it home.

With just 11 homesites remaining, along with a limited selection of move-in-ready homes, there are only a few opportunities left to make Riverlights your own with New Leaf Builders. Let us find that perfect fit for you!

When Adam Baslow, founder of New Leaf Builders, started the company in 2010, he set out with the selfless mission of doing the most good for the most people.

What began as a small semi-custom homebuilder on Johns Island, South Carolina has now grown across multiple communities and cities throughout North and South Carolina including Wilmington, Charleston and soon to be Myrtle Beach.

Sixteen years later, the company has stayed grounded in what makes New Leaf different: a hands-on approach, thoughtful design, impeccable craftsmanship, and a genuine commitment to building quality places where people can make memories with the ones they love.
