Although it's a CDP, this housing development has no significant coverage beyond government maps and tables which are specifically excluded from the
WP:NGEO guideline. The only sources that I could find were real estate listings and an
article about a fire that mentions it in passing as a "development in Linden". This is insufficient to meet GNG. –

This is run-of-the-
WP:MILL coverage of a real estate transaction that describes it as a "subdivision".
This is a different Skyland Estates in Columbia, South Carolina.
This also describes it as a "subdivision". I know there are several opinions on the inherent notability of CDPs, but none of these sources are anything more than a passing mention except for the community website. –

Populated? Check. Legally recognised? By the census, if it doesn't have any formal legal status. It's not a
census tract, it's a
census-designated place, which require the community's name be "recognized and used in daily communication by the residents of the community" (not "a name developed solely for planning or other purposes") which should be enough to pass
WP:GEOLAND, which should be and has been a very easy notability hurdle to clear. Otherwise this unincorporated area where people live wouldn't be associated to a place with an article. The US makes it a bit squishy with their land use planning rules unfortunately...
