I’On offers a coastal lifestyle akin to Charleston

Enticing coastal and Southern charm is the essence of I’On’s identity. You’re within walking distance of peaceful outdoor spaces from virtually every corner of this neighborhood. “It’s more reminiscent of downtown Charleston,” says Ariel Trouche, Realtor with Carolina One Real Estate. “Along with the home styles, there are two lakes in I’On similar to Colonial Lake on the peninsula, and there’s a network of walking trails.” Buyers often turn to the timeless and inviting suburb of I’On to escape from Mount Pleasant’s urban environment.

Many I'On homes overlook tranquil lakes with walking paths nearby.

Compact lots with lush landscaping and lakefront views

The layout and design of I’On make it easy to get to know your neighbors. The streets are jam-packed with Charleston-style homes with triple-decker porches, Lowcountry-style properties and custom builds sitting on compact lots below a quarter acre. The slight separation between the houses is usually filled with lush greenery, including Palmetto palms, large oaks and shrubbery. Many buyers seek out the homes overlooking lakes and ponds dotted throughout the area. Buyers hoping to snatch up one of the stately homes within this desirable community will see price points ranging from $2 to $5 million.

A walkable village center with dining, services and markets

The neighborhood was designed in the 1990s with the idea of having nearly everything you would need just steps from your front door. Before even reaching the residential streets, you’ll be greeted at I’On’s entrance by an endearing quasi-downtown district with restaurants, a dentist’s office, salons and a quaint bed and breakfast. Snack on nachos and sliders at O’Brion’s Pub & Grille, where you can sit outside under the patio’s twinkling lights or pull up a stool to the bar inside to catch a game. Each meal at The Shellmore is a surprise because the menu at the intimate and inviting eatery changes daily. The Square Onion rounds out the neighborhood’s dining scene and is the go-to place for quicker options like sandwiches, soups and salads to pick up and take home. Sitting less than a mile from the neighborhood’s main entrance, ALDI provides the most convenient spot for weekly grocery runs. There’s also a Publix less than 1.5 miles outside I’On.
