Longpoint, Mount Pleasant, SC
A large, amenity-rich Outer Mount Pleasant community off Long Point Road, next to Boone Hall and Palmetto Islands County Park
Overview & Lifestyle
Longpoint is one of Outer Mount Pleasant's larger, more established neighborhoods, with roots going back to the 1980s and 1990s and a footprint that includes several distinct sections ranging from modest starter homes to executive-style properties along Horlbeck Creek. That range means Longpoint isn't a one-size-fits-all community — it's more like a small village with different pockets suited to different budgets and lifestyles, all sharing the same amenity base and creek-adjacent setting.
The neighborhood's location off Long Point Road, just after the Isle of Palms Connector interchange, makes it a favorite for commuters who work toward I-526 or downtown Charleston but still want the feel of a full-service, family-oriented subdivision. Residents enjoy a genuine sense of community here, helped along by an active clubhouse, pool, and sports courts, plus the added bonus of sharing a turnoff with Palmetto Islands County Park. It's a neighborhood built for people who want space to spread out, water nearby, and a long list of things to do without leaving the immediate area.
