🏘️ Neighborhood Highlights
Upper Mount Pleasant
Upper Mount Pleasant continues to attract both local move-up buyers and out-of-state relocators, thanks to its newer construction homes, top-rated schools, and close proximity to the beach. The area has seen steady growth in both home values and inventory—particularly in master-planned communities with resort-style amenities. Buyers have more options this spring, but well-presented homes are still moving quickly.
Daniel Island
A blend of luxury and lifestyle, Daniel Island remains a top performer. Homes near the water or with updated features are commanding premium prices, and inventory remains limited. The walkability, private schools, golf courses, and vibrant community atmosphere make it especially appealing.
Isle of Palms & Sullivan’s Island
Luxury beachfront properties are seeing a resurgence in buyer interest, especially among second-home and vacation buyers. Limited inventory continues to drive prices upward—Sullivan’s Island saw a 44.8% year-over-year increase in median sales price earlier this year. These barrier islands remain two of the most exclusive—and competitive—markets in the Lowcountry.
