Phillips Community blends history with newer housing builds
Today, the Phillips Community of Mount Pleasant is a growing neighborhood with new single-family homes and subdivisions, but it also holds significant historical importance. Nestled along Horlbeck Creek, the area became a settlement for free African Americans in the 1870s and developed into a center for Gullah culture. It is one of the last remaining free communities East of the Cooper, and descendants of the original settlers still reside there. However, as Mount Pleasant has become more developed, Phillips Community has seen more construction but is committed to preserving its historical roots. “It’s a great little area,” says Jay Satterfield, broker and Realtor with Nicklaus Vance Realty. “Although larger developers have gone into the area and developed large neighborhoods…the Phillips Community has put in a great effort to keep a sense of its history and heritage.”
New builds combine with older homes, while HOAs are present
Architecture encompasses a mix of ranch styles, bungalows, manufactured homes and New Traditionals. Townhomes are also present. Prices for single-family properties typically range from $300,000 to $650,000. However, some properties can sell for over $1 million. Inventory also tends to move quickly in the neighborhood, spending around 18 days on the market, compared to the national average of 53. Homeowners’ associations are also present. Homes can be on larger lots, with live oaks accenting the lawns and few sidewalks. Newer subdivisions often include smaller lots with less tree cover, but they tend to have more walkability. Properties along Horlbeck Creek and feature private docks. Maps indicate a flooding risk in certain areas, particularly near creeks. Satterfield notes that the neighborhood has also attracted a mix of families and retirees.
Satterfield says that Phillips Community has undergone increased historical preservation and developers and builders must go through additional steps when pursuing construction. “If you are going to build or change zoning or subdivide a lot, there is an extra step, there is a board or historic commission that will review it and this is to add an extra level of protection for the area that you might not otherwise have,” says Satterfield.
