Just off the I-26 Corridor

Deer Park is a large suburb along the I-26 Corridor, the main interstate in Charleston County. Deer Park’s residential streets comprise older, more densely packed blocks and new subdivisions with larger homes and lots. Residents may walk or bike to two large shopping malls, a hospital, Charleston Southern University, or the vast green space of Wannamaker Country Park, but the neighborhood isn’t set up for foot traffic. There aren’t many cyclists or pedestrians on the road, and residents tend to drive near and far. “It’s very conveniently located,” says Mike Royal, Realtor with Realty One Group Coastal. “You’ve got easy access to Charleston Southern University, a major hospital, public schools and restaurants off Interstate 26.”

Bungalows and new traditional homes

Deer Park has a mix of townhouses, bungalows, new traditional and ranch-style homes. Sizeable yards, ranging from quarter- to half-acre lots, are surrounded by groves of oaks, magnolias, and patches of fallow ground where kudzu, known around here as “the weed that killed the south,” grows. “Because of the price point, homes don’t sit on the market as long as nearby neighborhoods,” Royal says. Home prices vary based on size and acreage, ranging from $250,000 to $475,000. In newer subdivisions like Magnolia Pointe, standard exterior features include small patios, back decks, concrete driveways, and one- or two-car garages. These new traditional homes are larger than most others in the neighborhood and, although still under construction, homes are listed closer to $500,000, with homeowners association fees paying for landscaping and maintenance of a retention pond.

Wannamaker County Park and Goose Creek Reservoir

A lush combination of woodlands and wetlands spanning more than 1,000 acres make Wannamaker County Park one of the most popular in North Charleston, and Deer Park residents can walk there in a mile at the farthest. Wannamaker has 2 miles of nature trails and 2 miles of paved trails, and both are relatively shady. Open meadows, tot lots, and an 18-hole disc golf course also draw visitors. The Whirlin’ Waters Adventure Waterpark, a 15-acre theme park with pools, waterslides and a wave pool, is a major summer destination for families. Goose Creek Reservoir is in the town of Hanahan next door and has 4 miles of waterways for boating and fishing. Heather Wilson with the Hanahan Recreation & Parks Department says, “Technically, you’re allowed to swim, but you shouldn’t because it’s full of alligators.”
