Remley's Point Neighborhood Guide: Homes for Sale in Mount Pleasant, SC
Remley's Point is a waterfront Mount Pleasant neighborhood on the Cooper River, just across the Ravenel Bridge from downtown Charleston. Its deep roots and direct water access make it one of the more understated but compelling opportunities in the Mount Pleasant market.
History & Character
The neighborhood traces back to 1868 as the Scanlonville community, founded by Robert Scanlon, a formerly enslaved carpenter, on land that had been part of the historic Remley's Plantation. From the 1930s through the 1970s, the area was home to Riverside Beach, a beloved Black-owned beach resort whose pavilion hosted performers including Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and B.B. King. Today Remley's Point blends postwar ranch homes with newer coastal-style construction and luxury waterfront rebuilds, on lots ranging from roughly a quarter acre up to nearly two acres.
Real Estate & New Construction
Because much of the existing housing stock dates to the mid-20th century, Remley's Point has become an active market for renovation and new waterfront construction, particularly along the Cooper River frontage where views and dock potential command a premium. Buyers here range from those seeking a classic ranch to update, to those pursuing a full custom waterfront build.
Access & Amenities
Remley's Point offers a public boat landing and Memorial Waterfront Park, putting boating and river access within easy reach. The neighborhood sits minutes from Shem Creek's restaurant row and a short drive across the bridge to downtown Charleston, giving residents a rare combination of quiet, established waterfront living with quick access to the peninsula.
