Market Data as of October 2026
Palmetto Cove is so small that a home may sell only once every year or two, and one home closed in the past twelve months. Because there are so few homes and each sits differently on the water, price depends on the individual home's lot, shoreline, size, and dock situation more than on any neighborhood pattern. Call 803-243-0224 and we'll pull the most recent sales of homes like the one you're considering.
Community details on this page come from Lexington County public property information, the Palmetto Cove Lane association records on the county map, current listings, and the county flood map, and the Lexington School District One school locator, checked October 9, 2026. Ask us for the latest comparable sales and any recorded neighborhood restrictions.
Types of Homes
Palmetto Cove is single-family homes, all built in the 2010s, with fiber-cement siding. The homes are three- or four-bedroom designs, a mix of one-story and story-and-a-half plans. A recent listing highlighted a main-level primary suite and a three-car garage.
Lots are about a half acre to an acre. Because each home sits differently on the cove, ask us how a specific home sits relative to the shoreline, what the view is, and whether a dock exists or could be built.
Neighborhood Amenities
We have not found a community pool, clubhouse, or playground in Palmetto Cove. The amenity is the cove itself and the quiet scale of a three-home lane.
The Palmetto Cove Lane Homeowners Association owns the shared area and the private road, so upkeep is handled by the neighborhood rather than the county or state. Ask us for the current dues, what they cover, and the recorded restrictions. For bigger Lake Murray communities with more amenities next door, compare Kingston Harbour and Murray Forest.
Shopping, Dining, and Recreation
Palmetto Cove is on the Lexington side of Lake Murray, next to Kingston Harbour.
Everyday shopping, groceries, medical offices, and restaurants are all part of the greater Lexington area, and our Patrick's restaurant recommendations lists places we like to eat around the Midlands. For a wider look at the area, see our Lexington real estate market overview.
Tell us what you want close by — groceries, dining, parks, or a particular commute — and we'll show you the options from the exact address you're considering.

Home Prices
Palmetto Cove is so small that one home's price tells you little about the next one. Price depends on the individual home's shoreline, lot, size, and dock situation. We don't publish a single neighborhood average, because with only three homes one number would mislead.
Thinking about a specific home? Ask us for a current comparative market analysis built from the most similar recent Palmetto Cove sales. If you own here, our Lexington home values guide explains how we look at value.

Waterfront Homes
Two of Palmetto Cove's three homes, 113 and 124 Palmetto Cove Lane, are classed as lakefront by Lexington County, and the lane ends at a cove of Lake Murray. The third home is not classed as lakefront, so we treat each home's shoreline individually rather than assuming the whole lane is on the water.
For any lake home we confirm the exact shoreline, the view, the water depth at normal summer levels, and whether a dock exists or could be permitted, because those details vary home to home. Santee Cooper manages Lake Murray and its shoreline, and docks require its permission. The county flood map shows the three homes in the minimal-risk zone, but lake lots can differ, so ask us to check the flood map and insurance requirements for any home you're considering.
Lake Murray Access
We have not found a community dock, boat ramp, or slip tied to Palmetto Cove, so any dock is a question for each individual home. Ask us to confirm with the seller, the association, and Santee Cooper before you make an offer.
If you want a ramp nearby, our Lake Murray boat ramps and access guide covers public launch options around Lake Murray.
