Dunes West- A Popular Mount Pleasant Community

If you’re considering a move to Mount Pleasant, then you ought to consider the popular neighborhood of Dunes West. This is a great community located just outside of downtown historic Charleston, with a great location to the beaches. As one of the more popular areas to live (Mt. Pleasant), Dunes West offers many things that are important to many people. I’ve developed a list of reasons why Dunes West is a popular relocation destination for those moving to the greater Charleston area.

1.) Location. It’s hard to argue that Dunes West has one of the better locations in all of Charleston. A short 15 minutes to downtown, historic Charleston and 15 minutes to the Atlantic Ocean. Whether you want to get away and dine in some of the Lowcountry’s finest restaurants, or walk the cobblestone streets near the market- downtown is an easy escape from everyday life. Beach living is also a treat for Mount Pleasant and Dunes West residents. Isle of Palms and Sullivans Island (arguably the area’s best beaches) are only a short 15 minute drive. Instead of planning a day at the beach, you can go for a morning walk to explore new shells that the waves have brought in, or go for an evening run. Either way you slice it, Dunes West has a great location.

2.) Dunes West enjoys some of the best builders in the southeast, namely John Weiland. With so many home styles and options to choose from, purchasing an existing home or seeking new construction is a pleasure. Charleston-single styled homes or traditional southern style homes with wrap-around porches are plentiful. Don’t forget when choosing a home- this neighborhood has plenty of natural surrounding habitat so take into account your view from the screened porches or back decks.

3.) Wonderful amenities, and a great family atmosphere. The neighborhood has two areas, inside the private gates, and outside the private gates. Most of the community is inside the private gates, which will cost the homeowners more in their HOA dues. The amenities for residents inside the gate include: golf, tennis, pools (zero-entry pool and water slides!), fitness, boat ramp, and social club house privileges.

4.) Some of the best public schools in the entire Charleston area. Park West is the adjoining neighborhood and the schools are located in Park West, which can be a bike ride away. Elementary schools and middle schools, plus a large sports facility with baseball fields, lacrosse, football, etc. Bringing your child to school in the morning is easy without even leaving the neighborhood!

5.) Dunes West is in one of the strongest areas/markets that surround Charleston. While some of the other areas surrounding Charleston may be in a depreciating state, Mount Pleasant is breaking even, if not increasing in value in areas of Mount Pleasant. Mount Pleasant has always been a popular, strong area, and this is mainly due to its location, schools, and upcoming area.
