Dunes West is a nationally recognized neighborhood. Along with I'on, these two neighborhoods are the most prestigious and sought after communities of Mount Pleasant.
Dunes West is a gated community located just off Highway 41 in Mt. Pleasant. It is made up of condos, townhouses, and single family homes that range in price from the high $100s to almost $3 million. It is divided into many subsections, some of which are located outside of the gated section of the community. The most affordable houses are found in this ungated area in subsections like Cypress Pointe and Palmetto Hall.
Some of the more affordable subsections located in the gated section of Dunes West include Hartford Village, Whispering Marsh, Marsh Cove (which also has some more expensive homes), and Deer Walk. Of these four subsections, the latter two have marshfront homes. You can find homes for sale under $500K in all of these gated subsections.
If you are looking for homes over $500K, you will find many more options to choose from. Darts Pointe, The Harbour, and Richmond Cove have very nice homes, and you can usually find homes just over that $500K price point in these subsections. Marsh Landing is a popular marshfront subsection in the community. Brickfall Estates and Osprey Cove are located on the golf course. Last, Wagner Pointe is one of the most desirable subsections of the neighborhood because it features homes that are both marshfront and on the golf course. All of these subsections are located in the gated portion of the neighborhood.
In addition to luxurious homes, this exclusive community also has some of the nicest amenities in all of Charleston. The golf course rivals those found at Kiawah and Wild Dunes. You will also find a zero entry swimming pool, a wonderful club house, nine tennis courts plus a full time tennis pro, a community dock with boat ramp, a designated area for boat storage, a state of the art fitness center, a children's play park, and plenty of walking trails.
The Homeowners Association (HOA) dues for 2008 were $1,180 for residents in the gated section and $336 for residents outside of the gate. Residents wanting full access to the amenities must pay for a membership. The initiation fee for membership in 2008 was $1,500 for a family and $1,000 for an individual. After the initiation fee, residents pay $750 annually for a family membership and $420 for an individual membership.
Located just fifteen minutes from the closest beaches (Sullivan's Island and the Isle of Palms), this community has a great location. Plus, downtown Charleston is only about a twenty minute drive. Restaurants and shopping are within minutes of the community. If you are considering buying a home in Mt. Pleasant and are looking for an exclusive style of living that only a gated community can offer, Dunes West should certainly be on your short list of neighborhoods to consider.
