Coastal Modern, Cottages and Lowcountry-style homes are common

Rivertowne’s streets are lined with homes built after 1999 in various styles, including Coastal modern, river cottages and Lowcountry. Most are three or four bedrooms, ranging in price from around $700,000 to $1.1 million. Larger homes often sit along the banks of the Wando River and feature five or more bedrooms, sprawling lawns and private docks, ranging from $1.4 million to nearly $2 million. Thanks to an HOA, front lawns are neatly manicured with shrubs and young trees. Karla Leahy, a real estate advisor with Engel & Völkers Charleston, who sells throughout Mount Pleasant and Charleston, says the neighborhood’s range of homes is a big draw. "There are buyers looking for two-story homes with primary bedrooms on the second floor to separate the older kids from the parents. There are families with younger children who gravitate to homes where all the bedrooms are located on the same floor. And there are the grandparents who move here to be close to their grandbabies and are looking for homes with one story," she says.
