29482 Zip Code Real Estate Guide: Sullivan's Island

The 29482 zip code covers Sullivan's Island, a low-density barrier island community known for its historic beach cottages, strict height and density limits, and some of the most exclusive real estate on the South Carolina coast.

Character & Setting

Sullivan's Island has intentionally limited commercial development and building height, preserving a quiet, residential character that stands apart from more commercially developed beach communities nearby. The result is a market defined by scarcity, with a housing stock ranging from original mid-century beach cottages to substantial new construction on legacy lots.

New Construction & Renovation

Given the age of much of the existing housing stock, new construction and major renovation projects are common on Sullivan's Island, often involving elevation changes to meet current flood zone requirements. Buyers pursuing a teardown or substantial renovation should plan for the island's permitting and design review process well ahead of a target start date.

Access & Amenities

Sullivan's Island sits just over the connector from Mount Pleasant, giving residents quick access to Charleston while maintaining an island feel centered on its beach, Station 22 restaurant row, and the historic Fort Moultrie grounds.
