Olde Park, Mount Pleasant, SC

Overview & Lifestyle

Olde Park is one of Mount Pleasant's quieter luxury addresses, a custom-home community developed in the early 2000s just off Mathis Ferry Road, adjacent to the well-known I'On neighborhood. Where I'On built its identity around new urbanist design and a busy town-center feel, Olde Park took a different approach: fewer than 120 homesites, exclusively custom-built homes, and generous lot sizes that give each property genuine privacy and breathing room. The result is a neighborhood that feels understated and residential rather than showy, even though the homes themselves are substantial.

Because every home in Olde Park is custom-built, no two properties look quite alike, and buyers who choose the neighborhood tend to be drawn specifically to that flexibility — the chance to build or buy a distinctive home rather than a repeated floor plan. Homesites toward the rear of the development back up to marsh and tidal creek, giving those lots a private, waterfront feel with direct access to the water via the community's boat ramp. For move-up buyers and executives who want proximity to downtown Charleston, a low-key luxury setting, and room to build or renovate to their own taste, Olde Park offers a compelling combination that's hard to find elsewhere in Mount Pleasant.
