About Carolina Park

Carolina Park is one of Mount Pleasant's newest and most sought-after master-planned communities, located along Highway 17 North near the intersection with Highway 41. Developed starting around 2013, the community spans approximately 1,700 acres and features a carefully curated mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and custom estate lots built by a selection of regional and national homebuilders. Home prices typically range from $500,000 for townhomes and smaller single-family plans to $1.5 million for larger custom homes in premium sections like The Riverside neighborhood, which offers deep-water access on the Wando River.

The amenity package at Carolina Park is extensive and continues to expand as the community develops. Current amenities include multiple swimming pools (including a resort-style pool with a lazy river and splash pad), a fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, miles of paved walking and biking trails, community parks and playgrounds, a dog park, and a community boathouse with kayak and paddleboard storage. The Bolden neighborhood within Carolina Park features its own additional pool and amenity center. The community's trail system connects to the broader Palmetto Islands County Park trail network.

Schools are a major draw for Carolina Park families. The community is zoned for the highly rated Charles Pinckney Elementary School, Cario Middle School, and Wando High School. The Costco-anchored commercial development at the entrance to Carolina Park provides convenient shopping, and the community's location on Highway 17 makes it easy to reach the rest of Mount Pleasant's dining and retail options. Downtown Charleston is approximately 25-30 minutes via I-526. HOA fees typically range from $150 to $350 per month depending on the section.
