Scanlonville Is Quiet, Historic, and Still Getting Buyer Attention
Scanlonville is one of those Mount Pleasant neighborhoods that does not need to announce itself loudly. It sits near Mathis Ferry Road, Remley's Point, the Wando River, and the Mount Pleasant waterfront, but it still carries a quieter identity than many of the newer, more polished communities nearby.
That is part of what makes the Scanlonville real estate market so interesting right now.
This is not a neighborhood where every property looks the same. Recent MLS activity shows homes built from the late 1950s through newer construction, with lot sizes often larger than what many buyers expect to find this close to the water in Mount Pleasant. In the attached sales data, closed prices ranged from $820,000 to $1,450,000, with a median closed price just over

The Part of Charleston That Just Works
There's a stretch of Charleston that doesn't ask for attention, and maybe that's why it gets overlooked.

Living in Wescott Plantation: Golf, Routine, and Why People Stay
There are some neighborhoods that look good on paper.
And then there are neighborhoods where you start to notice something else entirely once you spend time there.
Wescott is one of those places.
You can look at the homes, the prices, the location—and all of that matters. But what really stands out to me is how people actually live once they're there. Not just what's available to them, but what they consistently use, talk about, and build their routines around.
And that's where Wescott starts to separate itself.
It's Not Just the Golf Course
The golf course is the obvious feat...
