News Title:D. R. Horton Soon to Be Selling Single-Family Homes at Kingston Preserve at Brookhaven
D. R. Horton will soon be selling single-family homes in one of its newest Conway communities – Kingston Preserve at Brookhaven.
The new home community of Kingston Preserve at Brookhaven is located just west of downtown Conway, directly off Highway 378 with convenient access to Highway 501. The community is also closely tied to the much larger Brookhaven master planned development proposed directly across Highway 378, making Kingston Preserve an important part of the growing development activity along this section of the Highway 378 corridor.
While Kingston Preserve at Brookhaven is being developed as its own community, the “Brookhaven” name reflects its connection to the larger Brookhaven development area planned on the opposite side of Highway 378. Together, these projects represent significant new residential development in an area that is becoming an increasingly important growth corridor west of downtown Conway.
Kingston Preserve at Brookhaven
The master planned community of Kingston Preserve will feature a total of 407 single-family homes on an approximately 187.88-acre parcel of land and will be developed as a conservation subdivision.
Kingston Preserve will be the second conservation subdivision in Conway, following the Collins Jollie master planned community, which includes communities such as Westwood Reserve, Kingston Oaks and Maple Grove.
A conservation subdivision is designed to preserve a significant portion of a development site as common open space while allowing homes to be clustered on the remaining buildable land. Under the conservation subdivision requirements, a minimum of 30% of the net buildable area must remain undeveloped and be used for conservation and recreational purposes.
At Kingston Preserve, more than 44 acres are planned to be preserved in perpetuity for ecological and recreational purposes. This preserved land will become an important part of the overall character of the community, providing residents with open space and areas for outdoor enjoyment while also protecting portions of the property's natural landscape.
Kingston Preserve at Brookhaven is the first phase of the Kingston Preserve development and will include 134 single-family homes being built by D. R. Horton.
D. R. Horton's Kingston Preserve at Brookhaven will offer an appealing collection of planned community amenities. Future plans include a pool and pool house, providing residents with a place to relax, gather with neighbors and enjoy the South Carolina sunshine. Additional amenities are planned, including pickleball courts and scenic sidewalks designed to encourage outdoor recreation, morning walks and evening strolls throughout the community.
Homebuyers will have a choice of homes from both D. R. Horton's Express Series and Tradition Series. Floorplans will include both single-story and two-story designs, with spacious living areas, modern finishes and flexible layouts designed for today's homeowners.
Whether purchasing a first home, upsizing for a growing family or looking for a home with more room and flexibility, Kingston Preserve at Brookhaven will offer a variety of new construction options in a convenient Conway location.
The Larger Brookhaven Development Across Highway 378
The connection between Kingston Preserve and Brookhaven becomes particularly interesting when looking at what is being proposed directly across Highway 378.
Brookhaven is the current name of a large master planned development proposed near the intersection of Juniper Bay Road and Highway 378. The proposed Brookhaven development encompasses approximately 446 acres and could ultimately include more than 1,000 residential homes, along with a city park, stormwater ponds and commercial uses.
The larger Brookhaven project is being proposed as a conservation subdivision, similar to Kingston Preserve, with plans calling for a significant portion of the property to remain as common open space by clustering residential development and minimizing individual lot sizes.
Developers worked with Conway City Council for numerous months in an effort to reach an agreement on the project. One of the primary issues surrounding Brookhaven involved Conway city limits and annexation. The property proposed for development is located along the border of Conway, and the project would use Conway water and sewer services. Conway's requirements concerning annexation and the use of city utilities have therefore been an important part of the discussions surrounding the project.
The developer for the Brookhaven project is Highway 378 Land Holdings, LLC. Residential units within Brookhaven are expected to be developed by a builder or builders other than Highway 378 Land Holdings, LLC.
Importantly, Brookhaven is the overall name of the larger development project and could ultimately be branded through several different neighborhoods or residential sections. Preliminary plans call for a mixture of housing types, including single-family detached homes, duplex or semi-attached homes and townhomes, along with commercial development.
The proposed development would also bring additional services and commercial activity to this portion of Highway 378. Current plans include convenience retail, restaurants, retail space and a mini-warehouse facility.
A Growing Area of Conway
The location of Kingston Preserve at Brookhaven is particularly notable because of its relationship to this much larger planned development.
Kingston Preserve is located on one side of Highway 378, while the larger Brookhaven project is proposed on the opposite side of the highway. Although they are separate development projects, the shared Brookhaven name and their immediate proximity make the relationship between the two important when looking at the future growth of this part of Conway.
For homebuyers, the area is becoming an increasingly active part of the Conway new-home market, with new residential development, planned amenities, preserved open space and potential future commercial services all contributing to the area's changing landscape.

Current Brookhaven Development Plans
Current preliminary plans divide the larger Brookhaven project into two phases.
Phase 1 consists of the western portion of the Brookhaven site and includes proposed residential and commercial development, including up to 634 single-family detached housing units, an additional 102 single-family detached housing units, a 5,000-square-foot convenience store, 20,000 square feet of strip retail space and an 80,000-square-foot mini-warehouse.
Phase 2 consists of the eastern portion of the site and includes up to 465 single-family detached housing units, 60 single-family attached housing units, an 8,000-square-foot fast-casual restaurant and 27,000 square feet of strip retail space.
The plans for Brookhaven remain subject to the development and approval process, and the final configuration of the project could change as plans continue to move forward.
For Conway, however, the development activity surrounding Kingston Preserve at Brookhaven and the larger Brookhaven project across Highway 378 points to a substantial amount of new residential growth taking shape along this important corridor west of downtown.
