Golf course living on the banks of the Copahee Sound

Charleston National’s suburban streets sit between the rolling fairways of a Rees Jones-designed golf course and the marshy banks of the Copahee Sound. It’s a quiet community on Mount Pleasant’s north side, roughly 13 miles from the heart of historic Charleston. Some homeowners step out the back door onto the lagoons and wetlands surrounding the Charleston National Golf Club, known for its views and wildlife. Others live along the scenic wetlands.

Golfing in the backyard

Charleston National homeowners can join the neighborhood’s namesake club for a fee to sharpen their swing on the golf course and use the fitness center in the clubhouse. Residents also unwind outdoors at the neighborhood tennis courts, playground and pool. Laurel Hill County Park is nearby and one of the largest in the area. Locals live minutes from its grassy grounds, where they can visit for nature walks along lakeside trails that carve through swathes of meadows. The Park West Recreation Complex is next door, hosting kids for volleyball and soccer games, while pet parents set their furry friends free at the gated dog park.

Southern architecture and landscaped lots

Lots here are uncommonly spacious—most well over a quarter acre—canopied by towering live oaks with moss-draped branches. Charleston National’s curved corridors also wind past palmetto palms, pine trees and crepe myrtles, filling out the neighborhood’s established landscaping. Home size and design vary depending on location, typically increasing the closer to the greens and the water. Architectural designs span styles ranging from New Traditional and Charleston Singles to custom waterfront builds. Prices start around $400,000 for a modest condo and reach $2.5 million for a large lakefront golf course residence. “Exterior Mount Pleasant price tags are lower because they are more removed from the activity in the interior areas,” says Jackie Scarafile, Realtor at Carolina One and long-time Charleston local. She anticipates more development in the coming years. “As Mount P. keeps growing, they’ll continue to build farther and farther out.”
