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
There's a reason more people are starting to look for land in Berkeley County.
They want space. They want quiet. They want something that feels a little more their own.

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.
