Hamlin
Neighborhood in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina
Charleston County 29466
Waterfront homes and tree canopies
These scenic sidewalks run beneath towering live oaks draped in Spanish moss. Properties fall into a handful of subsections, in styles ranging from 21st-century townhouses to classic Charleston Singles and large coastal estates. Prices start around $400,000 for a modest townhouse and climb to $4 million for extra-spacious custom builds with pools and water views. Most homeowners are also responsible for monthly HOA fees. Homes here are in high demand. “Inventory is almost nonexistent in Hamlin,” says Lauren Zurilla, Realtor with The Boulevard Company. “If a home is listed, it’s gone within one to five days.”Store the boat at the Hamlin Plantation Clubhouse
The clubhouse is the community cornerstone, where the neighborhood gathers to lounge by the junior Olympic pool or play a pickup tennis match. Most events are held here, from holiday celebrations to outdoor live music shows on the weekends. From the clubhouse, locals can hop onto woodsy trails at Hamlin Park for a walk with the dog or an out-and-back jog toward the sound’s wetlands. There’s also a boat storage area on site for mariners who need a space to store their vessels. Part of Hamlin’s appeal is its proximity to Charleston’s beloved beach towns. “We are literally 5 miles from the Isle of Palms beach access and 3 miles to the beach itself,” Loy says. “And it’s just as easy getting to Sullivan’s Island.”Laing Middle offers a partial magnet program
Hamlin is zoned for the Charleston County School District, which is rated A-minus on Niche. Students here can start at Jennie Moore Elementary, rated A-minus, and continue to Laing Middle, rated A, before earning their diplomas from Wando High, rated A. Laing Middle is a partial magnet school that focuses on science, technology, engineering and math. Wando High is known for its stellar extracurriculars, and the marching band won its 15th state championship title in 2023.Storm safety
It’s important to investigate flood risk when considering a move to any coastal community, but this Mount Pleasant neighborhood is prepared for summer storms. Loy explains that progressive building strategies keep both the homes and the natural environment safe in the event of extra wind and precipitation. “Developers did a lot to make sure that we're not taking too much from the intercoastal waterways – we’re compliant with all the flood zone laws,” Loy says. “The possibility of flooding would be an absolute catastrophic category 5, and even then, your house will probably still be there.”In-town employers and access to downtown Charleston
Roper St. Francis and East Cooper hospitals are within minutes of home and two of Mount Pleasant’s largest employers. Many Hamlin homeowners commute to the city’s corporate offices and medical centers on workdays. Downtown Charleston is a 10-mile ride away, and Hamlin locals can hop on Highway 17 for a direct route into the city. Hamlin’s quiet, sidewalk-lined streets are linked and bikeable for a ride across the neighborhood, but most locals drive for longer trips.Minutes from Mount Pleasant Towne Centre
Living in Mount Pleasant means having easy access to an abundance of shopping destinations. The Mount Pleasant Towne Centre is most convenient for Hamlin homeowners. Loy says locals can walk or bike to the busy shopping plaza to peruse a wide selection of name-brand clothing stores and chain restaurants like First Watch or CAVA. SAVI Cucina and Wine Bar is a local favorite for a night out. There’s a Harris Teeter and Home Depot on the way for weekly errands.
