Centex Homes, the largest single-family home-builder in the Charleston area, is also the largest builder in the United States. In August 2009, the Texas-based company merged with Pulte Homes, with corporate headquarters in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., thus creating the nation's largest and best-positioned home-building corporation.

One of the many benefits home-buyers can expect is the Centex Energy Advantage, which provides a home that is 90-percent more energy efficient than a typical 10-year-old home and 22-percent more efficient than a typical new home.

In Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester counties, Centex Homes currently has eight neighborhoods for home-buyers to choose from, including Liberty Hall in Goose Creek, with prices starting at $99,990, and Shell Ring at St. Thomas Island, starting at $279,990.
