Established and verdant Mount Pleasant community

Homeowners enjoy acres of unspoiled nature in Brickyard, a scenic Mount Pleasant suburb highlighted by protected lakes, forests and marshy wetlands. Stylish Southern homes complement the area’s natural beauty, with second-story porches and outdoor patios overlooking the meandering Horlbeck Creek. The community’s namesake parkway connects each subdivision, winding alongside grassy valleys and towering moss-draped trees. Though these quiet cul-de-sacs feel secluded, Brickyard residents are minutes from some of the city’s most popular destinations. Highway 17 leads to downtown Charleston, making the once laborious commute a memory. “We used to be far out, but everything is so close now. We’re minutes from shops and restaurants and there’s always a lot to do,” says Leesa Northrup, Realtor at Carolina One Real Estate and 30-year Brickyard resident.

Parks, gardens and historic sites with Wando River views

It’s all about the outdoors in Brickyard, where parks, gardens and historic sites overlook slow-moving tributaries of the Wando River. Palmetto Islands County Park is the nearest getaway and a popular choice for a scenic hike with the dogs or a windswept bike ride along the marshy boardwalk trails. There’s also a playground for the kids and observation towers for great views of the Lowcountry landscapes. Laurel Hill County Park is known for its live oak-covered trails. Sports fields and courts are at Park West, alongside a small lake pavilion for fishing. Boone Hall Plantation is also in town, a well-known historic landmark full of gardens and original 1600s structures.

Quiet, live oak-shaded streets

Homeowners enjoy wide, quiet streets shaded by a mature live oak canopy. “There's one entrance in and out – you feel like you’ve gotten away from everything,” Northrup says. Each subdivision has its own personality – some full of one-story homes in New Traditional designs and others with more elaborate layouts. Brickyard’s most coveted addresses overlook Horlbeck Creek and feature custom builds with imposing front staircases and lavishly landscaped gardens. Properties start around $600,000 for a ‘90s-era ranch-style and quickly race past $2 million for spacious waterfront homes with a private dock. Some residents contribute to annual HOA fees.

Ten miles to downtown Charleston

A paved path runs parallel to Brickyard Parkway, where locals can walk and bike from one end of the neighborhood to the other. It’s a 10-mile ride to the heart of Charleston, a daily commute for many who hop on Highway 17 to cross the Ravenel Bridge to the corporate offices downtown. Interstate 526 runs along the west side, connecting locals to Daniel Island and the city’s northern reaches. Most Brickyard homeowners are drivers but can catch a Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA) bus at the stops lining the highway for a car-free ride around town. The Charleston International Airport is 15 miles away for long-distance trips.
