I’On Real Estate from William Means

Lifestyle and Amenities

I'On is the kind of place that draws you outdoors. The connecting streets, sidewalks and paths offer endless variety for walking, jogging and pedaling through the neighborhood. By design, public space abounds - from quiet trails and parks to The Rookery, a protected bird nesting area with observation stands for viewing hundreds of native birds and other wildlife in their natural habitat.

Two centers of neighborhood activity are the Mount Pleasant Amphitheater at the north end of Westlake, and the eateries, shops and offices around I'On Square. The wide-set towers of the amphitheater provide an elegant backdrop for outdoor concerts, movies and performances. And growing I'On Square continues to develop as the neighborhood's favorite gathering place.

The I'On Trust organizes a variety of neighborhood activities and works to connect neighbors with their community through cultural and civic events and volunteerism.

Fun is the highest priority at the I'On Club, where every age enjoys swimming, tennis, fitness classes and social events. This is a lively place, complete with a beautiful eight-lane Junior Olympic swimming pool and six finely groomed clay tennis courts.

Like a welcoming old Lowcountry home, the Creek Club charms visitors with its warm wood floors, huge fireplaces and broad porches that catch breezes from the creek and rivers beyond. Special events, meetings and even aerobics classes are held here.

Shimmering, inviting water is a key feature at I'On. Clear lakes connected by canals and footbridges, naturally flowing tidal creeks, and expanses of saltwater marsh are all waiting to be explored by boat or enjoyed from the shore. Along a bend of Hobcaw Creek, the neighborhood boat ramp provides residents with easy, convenient access to the Cooper and Wando rivers, the Charleston Harbor, and the open Atlantic Ocean. The natural paths along the Marsh Walk offer one of the best vantage points in the Lowcountry for watching sunsets

Like neighborhoods of its elder sisters in Beaufort, Savannah and nearby Charleston, I'On is built to last, evolve and improve with age.
