Why Live in Carolina Park
Carolina Park in Mount Pleasant is a sought-after community surrounded by preserved wetlands and the Wando River, yet conveniently located less than a mile from big box stores, restaurants, a hospital, and top-rated schools. The neighborhood is divided into two sections: The Village, near commercial areas, and Riverside, a more suburban area with half of its 545 acres protected for conservation. Homes in Carolina Park include bungalows, modern farmhouses, neo-colonials, and Charleston Singles, with Riverside lots offering water views and estate lots providing private, expansive spaces. The community features miles of trails, 80 acres of green spaces, Bolden Park with a boardwalk and boat launch, and several pools, including a junior Olympic-sized pool at The Residents Club. Carolina Park Elementary School and Wando High School, both highly rated, are accessible via the neighborhood's trail system, while Thomas C. Cario Middle School is 2.5 miles away. Residents enjoy amenities like The Bend at Carolina Park for shopping and dining, including Costco and The Front Porch Coffeehouse & Creamery. The new Wando Mount Pleasant Library and Roper St. Francis Mount Pleasant Hospital are also nearby. The area has a low crime risk compared to the national average and most homes are in Flood Zone X, indicating minimal flood risk. The neighborhood is quiet despite the proximity to Mount Pleasant Regional Airport, and State Highway 17 provides easy access to major freeways.
