Isle of Palms

Isle of Palms (IOP) is a waterway island with a casual beach town comprised of oceanfront condos, waterfront estates, and interior lot homes. All of the waterfront homes are built with coastal construction while the interior homes are an eclectic mix of raised cross bases, ranch-style homes, and Lowcountry architecture.

The interior homes are an easy walk or bike ride to the white sand beach while oceanfront homes have a private and a direct pathway to the Atlantic Ocean. The island is surrounded by the sparkling Atlantic Ocean and navigable Intracoastal Waterway. The two points of ingress and egress lead to nearby Sullivan’s Island in one direction and to its anchor city, Mount Pleasant, in the other direction.

Like Sullivan’s Island, Isle of Palms is a quiet, residential town with a strong sense of community; however, unlike Sullivan’s Island, Isle of Palms has beachfront hotels, vacation condos, townhomes, and short-term rental opportunities. Additionally, the town is less stringent with its regulations regarding remodeled homes, detached structures, and home additions to make your single-family home, a luxury home. Furthermore, Isle of Palms has more commercialization including its own Harris Teeter grocery store, banks, real estate, and rental offices, law firms, retail boutiques, medical specialties, and numerous service companies. Residents enjoy being able to take their golf carts out for dinner and drinks or cruise the golf course for a quick round. Read More

Children residing on Isle of Palms are zoned for the highly touted Sullivan’s Island Elementary School, a partial coastal environmental science magnet. The newly constructed school is perfectly situated within walking distance to the beach, thus giving students the opportunity for hands-on learning. After elementary school, children progress to Laing Middle School, a science and technology magnet located near Hamlin Plantation in Mt. Pleasant. After graduating middle school, students transfer to Wando High School, a school that continuously receives accolades for its academic rigor and athletic accomplishments.
