Deer Park
Bungalows and new traditional homes
Deer Park has a mix of townhouses, bungalows, new traditional and ranch-style homes. Sizeable yards, ranging from quarter- to half-acre lots, are surrounded by groves of oaks, magnolias, and patches of fallow ground where kudzu, known around here as “the weed that killed the south,” grows. “Because of the price point, homes don’t sit on the market as long as nearby neighborhoods,” Royal says. Home prices vary based on size and acreage, ranging from $250,000 to $475,000. In newer subdivisions like Magnolia Pointe, standard exterior features include small patios, back decks, concrete driveways, and one- or two-car garages. These new traditional homes are larger than most others in the neighborhood and, although still under construction, homes are listed closer to $500,000, with homeowners association fees paying for landscaping and maintenance of a retention pond.Wannamaker County Park and Goose Creek Reservoir
A lush combination of woodlands and wetlands spanning more than 1,000 acres make Wannamaker County Park one of the most popular in North Charleston, and Deer Park residents can walk there in a mile at the farthest. Wannamaker has 2 miles of nature trails and 2 miles of paved trails, and both are relatively shady. Open meadows, tot lots, and an 18-hole disc golf course also draw visitors. The Whirlin’ Waters Adventure Waterpark, a 15-acre theme park with pools, waterslides and a wave pool, is a major summer destination for families. Goose Creek Reservoir is in the town of Hanahan next door and has 4 miles of waterways for boating and fishing. Heather Wilson with the Hanahan Recreation & Parks Department says, “Technically, you’re allowed to swim, but you shouldn’t because it’s full of alligators.”Headed to Yappy Hour?
Wannamaker County Park is a popular spot for community events, like the Latin American Festival, which is held every October. Yappy Hour is another event every September. Dog owners and their pets can enjoy live music and cocktails at the dog park.A newcomer program for multilingual learners
A.C. Corcoran Elementary School is a pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade school in the middle of Deer Park. The school received a C-plus on Niche. Deer Park Middle School is down the road and received a C-plus. Northwoods Middle School is on the edge of Wannamaker Park and received a C-plus. R.B. Stall High School received a B-minus on Niche and has a newcomer program for multilingual learners to help them prepare for traditional English language instruction. Higher education students who want to stay close to home can attend Charleston Southern University. Buccaneers’ football and basketball games are open to the public.Walmart and Willie Jewell’s Bar-B-Q
The neighborhood’s proximity to the University makes access to restaurants and grocery stores easy. Along University Boulevard are regional chains like East Bay Deli and Come Back Shack. There’s also Willie Jewell’s Bar-B-Q, which serves southern favorites. Piggly Wiggly grocery store is on the neighborhood’s eastern side. Northwoods Mall on the south tip of Deer Park has big box stores such as ALDI, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Lowes and Target. There are fast food chains like Five Guys and sit-down chains like Cracker Barrel. A smattering of popular Mexican restaurants has also sprung up in recent years. On the north corner of the neighborhood, next to Charleston Southern, is Trident Medical Center, which houses an emergency room and the only outpatient burn clinic in the region for patients of all ages. The campus is surrounded by additional healthcare providers.A interstate and a park & ride
The North Charleston Park & Ride has bus service up and down the peninsula. Riders heading to the French Quarter can get there in about an hour. Interstate 26 leads south to Charleston International Airport, 2 miles away, and continues to the Atlantic Ocean.No floods, some theft
According to the CAP Index, Deer Park has a crime score of 7, three points higher than the national average of 4. However, theft is the primary driver of this statistic. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Deer Park is not in a flood zone. A pleasant blend of a low-key vibe and accessibility to parks, eateries and the surrounding Charleston area make Deer Park a desirable option for median-income buyers.
