Mount Pleasant New Homes in Lieben Park

Mount Pleasant, SC sees a huge demand from home buyers wanting new construction in the $200K to $250K price range.  However, as the amount of available land continues to diminish, this low supply has brought up prices for new construction homes.  If you are looking for affordable options, know that the list of available homes will be quite short.

One of the big builders in Charleston, Beazer Homes, recently decided to tap into this price point in the Mount Pleasant market.  The result is Lieben Park, which is located off Lieben Road in Mount Pleasant.  There are a little over 100 homes in Phase One, a section that is selling quickly.

Beazer is currently offering single family houses starting around $190K and going up to a base price of approximately $225K.  (The final cost may rise based on the upgrades you choose.)  The square footage in these floor plans ranges from roughly 1300 square feet to over 2800 square feet.  Most of these designs have anywhere from 3 to 6 bedrooms.

Beazer builds a 100% Energy Star home, meaning up to 45% savings in energy for the home owner.  Lieben Park is about 10 minutes to I-526, and 30 minutes to I-26 and downtown Charleston.  The closest beaches, Isle of Palms and Sullivan’s Island, are just 15 minutes away.  Shopping, restaurants, and movies are also just a few minutes’ drive.  The shops at Oakland are 3 miles away, and the Town Center outdoor shopping mall is less than a 10 minute drive.

There are several great hospitals in the Mount Pleasant area.  The Roper-Saint Francis Hospital is a brand new hospital just a couple of miles away from Hwy 17.  Also, East Cooper Hospital is located by the intersection of I-526 East and Hwy 17 South (about 10 minutes away).  A third option is MUSC, the Medical University of South Carolina, and this is a teaching hospital located in the middle of downtown Charleston.  It is nice to know there are a few great options for healthcare, if needed!

There are many outdoor activities close by, as well.  You’ll find three golf courses: Charleston National Golf Club, Dunes West Golf Club, and Rivertowne Country Club.  These are public courses within a few miles of Lieben Park.  The closest public boat ramp is only about 4 miles away.  Palmetto Islands County Park is just off Long Point Road in Mt. Pleasant, and the Isle of Palms County Park is another great option to consider.

Most folks who search for a home in the Charleston real estate market consider Mount Pleasant because of the award winning public schools.  Charles Pinckney Elementary School, Laurel Hill Primary School, Thomas Cario Middle School, and Wando High School are all rated well in the Charleston School District.  Daycares close by are Starfish academy, Park West Pre-School and Childcare, and Sunshine House Park West.
