It’s surrounded by wetlands, lakes and creeks, but don’t let that fool you: Ten-year-old I’On in Mount Pleasant, S.C., was one of the first traditional neighborhood developments (or new urbanist communities) on the Southern coast. That means living there is like a trip back in time to grandma’s neighborhood, with homes deliberately built close together to create a strong sense of community.
At I’On, children play in groups outdoors, while adults keep a watchful eye from wide front porches that beg for rockers. Neighbors meet at the Eastlake Boathouse for weekend nature strolls. Artists and photographers study migratory waterfowl at the seven-acre rookery. Outdoor spaces yield to farmers’ markets in the fall and musical events year-round.
With more than 600 Lowcountry-style homes, the community is arranged in boroughs connected by winding paths and narrow streets. A commercial core features shops, restaurants, a salon and spa, bakeries and more. Retirees, young families, people from different places and backgrounds – all mix comfortably in this old-fashioned place with newfangled aesthetic values.
Size Matters: At 243 acres, the neighborhood is big enough to form a wider community, but small enough to feel like home.
Warm and Fuzzy: Even in March, the average high temp is a balmy 65 degrees.
Take a Swing at Happiness: The Charleston area is a haven for golfers, and a great game is as close as 15 minutes away.
Watering Holes: Swimming is a breeze with a pool onsite and some of the Atlantic’s most naturally beautiful beaches just 15 minutes down the road.
The Shape of Things to Come: The I'On Club, just a stroll or bike ride away from home, is a place where people have fun as they get fit. Expert swimming, tennis and fitness instructors offer activities year round – lessons, social mixers, tournaments, kids’ camps and more.
The Nature of Things: The joys of living at I’On include 11 miles of sidewalks and walking trails, including a two-mile marshwalk, and 43 acres of green-space made up of playing fields, a community amphitheater, parks and civic-use areas.
Medical Access: It’s literally only a minute to the nearest hospital.
Beam Me Up, Scotty: You’ll gain quick and easy access via Charleston International Airport, only 20 minutes away.
What They’re Saying About Us: With its proximity to the joys of Charleston, one of the South’s most sophisticated and charming cities, and its lifestyle of connectedness to other folks, I’On is a wonderful way to enjoy life to the fullest.
Lots to Choose From: Home sites start as low as $140,000.
Homes Sweet Homes: Newly constructed homes built by members of the outstanding I’On Guild use the most up-to-date construction techniques. There are currently more than 600 single-family homes, with 762 projected.
