Longpoint
Suburban Neighborhood in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina
Charleston County 29464
Outdoor amenities abound in Longpoint, with 943-acre Palmetto Islands County Park and Wando River sprawling across the back end of the neighborhood and its own private community clubhouse boasting a pool, tennis courts and more. This thriving suburb could be your ticket into 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.
After driving through the community's main entrance, subsections with unique identities start to branch off. Ranch 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.
Longpoint residents will not be short of 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 will want to let them 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, giving you 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 your disposal if you'd rather avoid the crowds. The neighborhood clubhouse features a playground, basketball, volleyball and tennis courts, walking and jogging trails and a pool open during the summer. There is also a kayak launch and crabbing dock for people wanting to have some fun on the water.
Accessibility to commercial areas is also vital to locals. The Belle Hall Shopping Center is about 1.5 miles east of the neighborhood, where you can take care of any errands or enjoy a meal away from home. Stop by the Harris Teeter to pick up essentials when you're running low on groceries. A range of eateries surround the grocery chain, including Amalfi’s Italian and FUJI Sushi. British-inspired Fish & Chippy is another local favorite for its large portions of seafood baskets and fish sandwiches.
Students living in Longpoint can begin their studies at Belle Hall Elementary School before filtering into Laing Middle School. Both are highly rated, earning an A from Niche. The middle school also offers a rigorous STEM magnet program. They will finish their secondary education at Lucy Beckham High School, one of the newest in Mount Pleasant, just opening its doors in 2020. In the short time the school has been open, it has managed to garner a reputation for its athletic program, with the lacrosse team winning a state title just two years after being formed.
In Longpoint, you can relish in quiet living near the best of what Mount Pleasant has to offer.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
