Ample outdoor recreation anchors daily life in Longpoint

Outdoor amenities abound in Longpoint, with the 943-acre Palmetto Islands County Park and the Wando River sprawling across the back end of the neighborhood, which also has its own private community clubhouse boasting a pool, tennis courts and more. The thriving suburb offers homebuyers a popular entry point to Mount Pleasant. “You can start in Longpoint if you’re a first-time buyer and end up staying there and hopping around for many years into different subsections and price points,” says Katrina Johnson, Realtor with the Katrina Johnson Group for Carolina One.

A community where different sections have distinct identities

After driving through the community's main entrance, subsections with unique identities start to branch off. Ranch-style homes valued anywhere from $400,00 to $500,000, Colonials with larger, well-maintained yards shaded by mature trees, and elevated Coastal-style homes with private deep-water docks priced over $1 million make up the wide breadth of housing options available to buyers. Because Longpoint is one of Mount Pleasant’s more expansive neighborhoods, there are typically multiple listings at a time, and they can stay on the market anywhere from four to six weeks.

Palmetto Islands County Park, plus a clubhouse for Longpoint residents

Longpoint residents aren't short on stunning views or opportunities for fresh air. With 900 acres of green space at Palmetto Islands County Park, there’s something for people of all ages to do. Families with energy-filled kids can explore the Big Toy playground, which is split into different sections. One of the perks of this playground is that it’s canopied by towering trees, so it typically stays shaded during the sweltering South Carolina summers. There are also boardwalks and unpaved trails throughout the wetlands of the Wando River and a 50-foot observation tower that delivers a bird’s-eye view of the area’s natural beauty. Because the massive county park attracts people from across Mount Pleasant and surrounding areas, outdoor amenities exclusive to Longpoint are at residents' disposal to avoid the crowds. The neighborhood clubhouse features a playground; basketball, volleyball and tennis courts; walking and jogging trails; and a pool that's open during the summer. There is also a kayak launch and a crabbing dock for people wanting to have some fun on the water.
