Mount Pleasant, SC's Newest Communities for under $500K
Mount Pleasant, SC's Newest Communities for under $500K
One of the biggest selling points for Mt. Pleasant is that
it has the largest selection of new homes in Charleston, SC. I've included 5 neighborhoods to consider in
the under $500K range for the newest homes available.
1) Linnen Place ($200-300K): Development in this
neighborhood began in 2010, making it one of the newest subdivisions in Mt.
Pleasant. Although these homes have
vinyl siding exteriors, the builders have done a great job of mixing in brick
fronts, multiple rooflines with shingle-style siding, and heavy columns on the
fronts. In other words, you won't find
the plain, vinyl boxes that were built in the early 2000's here. Linnen Place has done a great job of
incorporating good architectural details and variety that, I think, are going
to become a trend we see in new construction homes in the next 5-10 years as
buyers demand more personalized homes from builders. Linnen Place is located off Hamlin Road in
Mt. Pleasant.
2) Carol Oaks ($200-300K): Although not as new as
Linnen Place, Carol Oaks has continued to be one of the top selling new home communities
in Mt. Pleasant since construction began about three years ago. Buyers tend to really like these floor plans,
and right now there is a good selection of homes that are either currently
under construction or are proposed construction. Carol Oaks is a good option to consider if
you're looking for a newer home in a community that's already largely developed
(unlike Linnen Place, which still has a lot of empty space simply because it's
so new). Carol Oaks is located on the
end of Gregorie Ferry Road (which is just off Hwy 41).
3) Pinckney Place ($300-450K): You won't find as large of
a selection of homes for sale at Pinckney Place compared to the other
communities on this list. However,
buyers tend to really like these low country floor plans. Most of these homes have hardy plank (also
called cement plank siding), and you'll find lots of upgrades to choose
from. Pinckney Place is located off
Whipple Road (about halfway between Long Point and Mathis Ferry).
4) Watermark ($300-450K): This neighborhood has
classic Charleston styles, and you'll find many homes with double front
porches. These houses have hardy plank
siding, and many of these overlook the community lake. The lots are smaller than average (not unlike
downtown Charleston), with many of the lots ranging from .08 to .15 an
acre. Amenities include a pool, play
park, and walking trails. Watermark is located
off Bowman Road in Mt. Pleasant.
5) Hamlin Plantation ($400-500K plus): Hamlin is the oldest
neighborhood on this list, with some homes dating back almost ten years. But it's one of the nicest communities in Mt.
Pleasant that you can buy into for under $500K.
You'll find pre-owned homes as well as newer homes built in 2010 and
2011. If you're looking for a new home
in a large neighborhood with full amenities, Hamlin Plantation should certainly
be on your list to consider. Amenities
include a pool with slide and splash area, club house, 3 tennis courts,
playground, and walking trails.
