Mungo Homes Continues Longstanding Columbia Legacy with New CommunitiesMarch 16, 2026

Established homebuilder Mungo Homes is building communities in both familiar and new regions of the Midlands—all while upholding the high standards the company is known for. Two upcoming projects, Porter Ridge and Watermill, will open for sales this spring, offering a variety of townhome and single-family options in growing areas. Read on to learn more about these communities and the distinct Mungo benefits they’ll bring to the Midlands.

Starting a New Chapter in Kershaw County
Single-family home community Porter Ridge—the only new construction community in Kershaw County with a pool and cabana—will mark Mungo’s return to the area. Home prices start in the mid $300s, and a variety of one- and two-story floor plans will be offered, including build jobs for customers seeking more customization. These floor plans range from 1,677 to over 4,300 square feet, offering room to grow.

Located just off I-20, this community is less than 10 minutes from downtown Elgin, 30 minutes from downtown Columbia, and a short commute to Fort Jackson. This convenient location offers easy access to local favorites while still providing space for larger homesites and floor plans.

Luxury Townhomes Coming Soon to Elgin
Just a few miles down I-20, Mungo is launching Watermill, a luxury townhome community starting in the mid $300s. Located within the established Woodcreek neighborhood, Watermill will feature beautiful townhome floor plans ranging from 1,760 to 1,974 square feet, along with a dog park and common areas throughout the community.

The setting is ideal for golf enthusiasts, with easy access to the Woodcreek course, the WildeWood Club, and Spring Valley Country Club. Shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities are also close by at the Village at Sandhills. This 72-homesite community will open for sales soon, so join the VIP list today for updates!

Continuing a Legacy of Quality and Commitment
Backed by over seventy years of homebuilding in the region, what truly sets Mungo Homes apart is its commitment to quality homebuilding and the customer experience. From the first point of contact to closing day, team members take special care to provide an exceptional experience for all customers. Mungo’s homebuilding process uses high-quality materials, adheres to strict building standards, and includes an impressive warranty to provide peace of mind after closing.

At the heart of Mungo’s business is its motto: “To serve so that others are empowered to thrive.” This motto is embodied in the Community Partnership Program, which is designed to serve those who serve their communities. This program offers discounts on home customization options* to select groups including first responders, nurses, and active-duty military members in select Columbia communities.

Looking to the future, Mungo will uphold its legacy of quality, customer care, and service across the Columbia region and continue expanding its footprint, with new communities in Newberry County and Batesburg-Leesville planned for 2026.
