Longpoint in Mount Pleasant, SC

Longpoint Homes for Sale in Mount Pleasant

Longpoint is an established community of about 700 homes in eastern Mount Pleasant, between I-526 and the Wando River, with a county park as its backyard. The four subsections give buyers one of the wider spreads among established Mount Pleasant neighborhoods, from Mount Royall ranches to Rice Hope waterfront estates. Our first pass is the subsection, because it usually determines lot size, dock potential, and flood zone before the house details matter.

Why Buyers Compare Longpoint

Buyers compare Longpoint because it has one of the wider price spreads among established Mount Pleasant communities, with most homes built from the late 1980s through about 2000 on the former Palmetto Grove Plantation site. The Long Point name comes from the peninsula near Horlbeck Creek. Downtown Charleston is about 20 to 25 minutes away via I-526, and Isle of Palms is about 12 minutes east through the IOP Connector. Sullivan's Island is about 15 minutes out via Ben Sawyer Boulevard.

Longpoint pairs with Snee Farm and Belle Hall as an established, non-gated Mount Pleasant community with shared school zoning, though Longpoint reaches farther into waterfront and park-adjacent settings. I'On is the comparison when walkability and village design matter more than park proximity, while Dunes West and Charleston National move the search toward golf. Longpoint works for buyers who want established homes, park access, and a possible dock setting without a gate or fairway.

Four Longpoint Subsections

Each subsection changes the age, lot size, and setting buyers should expect.

• Mount Royall: The entry tier, with 1989 to 1994 ranches and Colonials around 1,400 to 2,100 square feet on 0.15 to 0.20 acre lots.
• The Enclave: A newer late-1990s and early-2000s subsection on manicured lots with man-made ponds and stricter architectural standards.
• Plantation View: The executive tier, with 3,000-plus square foot brick and stucco homes on 0.25 to 0.35 acre lots, some with marsh or creek views.
• Rice Hope: The waterfront tier, with 3,700 to 4,600-plus square foot estates on 0.35 to 0.50-plus acre lots and deep-water private docks.

County-Park Backyard and Amenities

The community backs up to 943-acre Palmetto Islands County Park, giving residents nearby access to a waterpark, marsh boardwalks, an observation tower, a dog park, and a fishing dock. The master HOA amenity center at the front of the neighborhood adds a pool, lighted tennis courts, a sand volleyball court, a soccer field, and a playground, with a summer swim team. Enclave residents pay a second sub-HOA for a private pool, tennis, basketball, and refurbished pickleball courts with key-fob access.

Schools to Verify

Longpoint listings commonly reference the Belle Hall Elementary School, Laing Middle School, and Lucy Garrett Beckham High School attendance path through Charleston County School District. Longpoint shares that zoning with Belle Hall and Snee Farm. Boundaries can shift, so confirm the specific property with the district before you plan around a campus.

Waterfront, Conservation, and Flood

Flood exposure tracks the subsection here. Interior tiers like Mount Royall and The Enclave generally appear as Zone X on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center, while Rice Hope and some Plantation View waterfront lots may carry Zone AE or VE exposure, requiring mandatory flood insurance if financed. A conservation easement protects the Rice Hope viewsheds, and the docks reach the Wando River through Horlbeck Creek. Long Point Road can flood during coastal storms and king tides, so check the route and the lot.
