Resort-style living and housing variety on the Hamlin Sound
Hamlin is an upscale Mount Pleasant development overlooking the banks of its namesake sound. The housing stock is diverse in style and price point, but all homeowners here enjoy clubhouse amenities and well-preserved natural scenery. Many residences back up to the marshy wetlands, while others are within walking distance of some of the area’s busiest shopping centers. The amenity-rich location appeals to a wide spectrum of buyers. “It’s a lot of fun for a variety of people, from retirees to families,” says Melissa Loy, Realtor at Carolina One Real Estate and 10-year local seller.

Prices start around $400,000 for a modest townhouse and climb to $4 million for extra-spacious custom builds with pools and water views. Most homeowners are also responsible for monthly HOA fees. Homes here are in high demand. “Inventory is almost nonexistent in Hamlin,” says Lauren Zurilla, Realtor with The Boulevard Company. “If a home is listed, it’s gone within one to five days.”

Store the boat at the Hamlin Plantation Clubhouse
The clubhouse is the community cornerstone, where the neighborhood gathers to lounge by the junior Olympic pool or play a pickup tennis match. Most events are held here, from holiday celebrations to outdoor live music shows on the weekends. From the clubhouse, locals can hop onto woodsy trails at Hamlin Park for a walk with the dog or an out-and-back jog toward the sound’s wetlands. There’s also a boat storage area on site for mariners who need a space to store their vessels. Part of Hamlin’s appeal is its proximity to Charleston’s beloved beach towns. “We are literally 5 miles from the Isle of Palms beach access and 3 miles to the beach itself,” Loy says. “And it’s just as easy getting to Sullivan’s Island.”
Hamlin Plantation Clubhouse boasts a junior olympic size pool with a water slide for residents.

Storm safety
It’s important to investigate flood risk when considering a move to any coastal community, but this Mount Pleasant neighborhood is prepared for summer storms. Loy explains that progressive building strategies keep both the homes and the natural environment safe in the event of extra wind and precipitation. “Developers did a lot to make sure that we're not taking too much from the intercoastal waterways – we’re compliant with all the flood zone laws,” Loy says. “The possibility of flooding would be an absolute catastrophic category 5, and even then, your house will probably still be there.”
In-town employers and access to downtown Charleston
Roper St. Francis and East Cooper hospitals are within minutes of home and two of Mount Pleasant’s largest employers.

Hamlin’s quiet, sidewalk-lined streets are linked and bikeable for a ride across the neighborhood, but most locals drive for longer trips.
