Top 5 Desirable Neighborhood Amenities in The South

◂ Back to Posts

There is no doubt in our minds that there’s nothing quite like living in the South. Warm weather, relaxing porches and charming history are just some of the reasons why we love the Lowcountry. But what exactly makes Charleston neighborhoods so desirable? For many, the appeal of year-round community amenities is top of mind when it comes to deciding upon where to live. Come with us as we explore our top five desirable neighborhood amenities in the South.

Swimming Pool. Whether it be in your own backyard or located at a community clubhouse, a swimming pool is paramount when it comes to surviving the summer in the South. Many Charleston neighborhoods are centered around this convenience, and sometimes a quick dip in the pool is more desirable than a day trip to the beach.

Golf & Tennis. Enjoying outdoor sports all year round is another perk of living in Charleston. The area is home to plenty of tennis clubs and golfers can enjoy a taste of the championship lifestyle at favorite area courses from Kiawah to Charleston National and beyond.

Dock. Is there any better location to enjoy a summer sunset than out on the water? Boating and fishing are a favorite pastime in Charleston and dock access makes getting out on the water a breeze. Many neighborhoods allow homeowners to build their own private, deep-water docks and waterfront community pavilions are a great place for neighbors and friends to gather.

Recreation Trails. Staying active is easy in a Southern location where it only gets chilly a few months out of the year. The I’On neighborhood in Mount Pleasant and The Preserve at Fenwick Plantation on Johns Island offer wonderful walking and recreation trails that will take you on a scenic tour of your new neighborhood.

Community Clubhouse. Many communities offer clubhouses that are home to fitness facilities for shared use. Large gathering spaces can also be rented out for special family events and many offer a snack bar or neighborhood restaurant for added convenience.
