The amenity-rich location appeals to a wide spectrum of buyers. “It’s a lot of fun for a variety of people, from retirees to families,” says Melissa Loy, Realtor at Carolina One Real Estate and 10-year local seller.

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.”

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.”
