History and water

Remley’s Point, or Scanlonville, was founded in 1868 when a freed slave named Robert Scanlon organized the purchase of a 600-acre former plantation on the banks of the Wando River and Charleston Harbor from a deceased farmer named Paul Remley. Scanlon founded a collective of freed slaves called the Charleston Land Company to purchase land in the newly free state of South Carolina. Today, Remley’s Point is a relatively expensive neighborhood with a mix of new and old homes, excellent schools and access to the water just across the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge from Downtown Charleston.

Mansions and ranch-style homes

Wide and sometimes pockmarked streets are flanked by oaks draped in Spanish moss and crape myrtles. Postwar ranch-style homes neighbor new Coastal-style homes. “You get more bang for your buck because there are larger lots, ranging from a quarter-acre to almost two acres in some cases,” says Ariel Trouche, Realtor with Carolina One Real Estate. Many back porches have waterfront views, private deep-water docks, or in-ground pools. Prices start around $2.5 million and can climb up to nearly $4 million for mansions with views of the Charleston Harbor. Trouche says, “It’s one of the grandest neighborhoods in Mount Pleasant because it’s newer, and there are waterfront views from nearly every angle. There’s not much turnover, with only a few dozen homes in the whole neighborhood.” Newer buyers will often tear down midcentury homes and build custom homes.

The "crown jewel of Mount Pleasant"

Remley’s Point Public Boat Landing is in keeping with Scanlonville’s egalitarian beginnings, offering boaters, anglers and everyone else a free place to enjoy the Charleston Harbor. The docks at Remley’s Point underwent repairs in the summer of 2023 after hurricane damage and now offer sweeping views of the iconic Ravenel Bridge. At the foot of the Ravenel Bridge, Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park is known colloquially as “the crown jewel of Mount Pleasant.” Opened in 2009, the park has a scenic meadow, a shady nautical-themed playground and a war memorial sculpture designed by the same artist who sculpted the World War II Memorial in Washington DC. On any given weekend, Charlestonians and tourists can be seen eating soft serve from the River Watch Café and strolling the park’s 1,250-foot pier over the Cooper River.
