Scotts Creek, Mount Pleasant, SC

A small, pond-dotted neighborhood with deep-water access near the beach

Overview & Lifestyle

Scotts Creek is a small, tightly knit neighborhood off Rifle Range Road in Inner Mount Pleasant, built out around 2013 on a single loop road that wraps around two connected ponds. With only around 70 homesites, the community has an intimate scale that's uncommon for newer Mount Pleasant construction, and its layout leans heavily on natural features — mature live oaks, water views from the ponds, and a nature trail that leads down to a private deep-water dock on Scotts Creek itself.

Homes here were largely built by a national production builder but offer the kind of upgraded layouts and finishes buyers expect from newer construction, while still being established enough to have settled landscaping and a lived-in feel. The combination of pond views, oak canopy, and true saltwater creek access gives Scotts Creek an outdoorsy character that's popular with anglers, kayakers, and families who want a walkable, nature-oriented setting.

Because the neighborhood is compact and built around a single road, it has a close, low-traffic feel, and its position off Rifle Range Road keeps it just minutes from some of Mount Pleasant's best beach access.

Scotts Creek is located off Rifle Range Road in Inner Mount Pleasant, a corridor known for its proximity to the beach and to central Mount Pleasant conveniences. The neighborhood is about four miles from the beaches of Sullivan's Island and Isle of Palms, and a short drive from Mount Pleasant Towne Centre. Downtown Charleston is roughly 15 to 20 minutes away via the Cooper River bridges.

Amenities & Community Features

Scotts Creek's amenities are centered on its natural setting rather than a clubhouse — two connected ponds provide water views and habitat throughout the neighborhood, mature live oaks shade many of the homesites, and a nature trail leads residents to a private deep-water dock on Scotts Creek, ideal for fishing, crabbing, or launching a kayak. The neighborhood's HOA maintains these shared natural amenities for residents.
