Oyster Point
The newest of the big Rifle Range communities: 540-plus homes built 2013–2020 between the marsh and Fort Palmetto Park, with the strongest amenity campus of its vintage in Mount Pleasant. Every sale here is now a resale — and because the plans repeat, the market is unusually measurable.

Asking prices, not sold prices — what these sellers want, which is a different number from what the last buyers actually paid. The closed record below is the one to judge them against.
Based on information from CHS Regional MLS for the period 2026-09-03 through 2026-09-03. Counts and ranges are aggregates of active listings, not a listing display; individual homes, photos and showings live on Jim's search, which updates continuously. Inventory moves daily — treat this as of 2026-09-03.
The Oyster Point record
Part one · the county deed record · published
Every home in Oyster Point was matched to its county parcel record, one at a time, and this is what the recorded deeds say. Public record — not an estimate, not a portal's model, and not the MLS.

What Oyster Point owners paid, by the year they bought
Every bar is the median recorded purchase price of the homes whose owners bought that year and still own today. It is not a price index and this page will not pretend otherwise — homes that sold and sold again appear only under their most recent purchase. Read as what your neighbors paid, it is exact.
Owners who bought in 2015 paid a median of $424K. Owners who bought in 2026 paid $960K. That is 11 years of this neighborhood's own history, from the deeds themselves.
By the square foot
Price per square foot is what a real comparison runs on, and it needs the assessor's building record — which no map layer carries. These come from 542 individual dwelling cards.

- Per sq ft, county value today
- the assessor's opinion, not ours
Against what today's owners paid, the county now values this neighborhood at about 1.66× per square foot. A county assessment is a tax opinion, not an offer, and it is not what a home would list for — but it is a number the county will defend.

Compiled from Charleston County public property records (recorded deeds and assessor data), matched parcel-by-parcel to this neighborhood. Pulled August 25, 2026. Recorded deed prices under $1,000 are excluded as non-arm's-length (family transfers, corrections), and builder closings are included because they are real recorded sales. This is the county record, not the MLS record — days on market, asking prices and list-to-sold ratios come with the MLS archive.
Oyster Point's owner-occupancy rate is 82.8% — 449 of the 542 homes matched to a Charleston County parcel record carry the 4% legal-residence assessment ratio, which South Carolina grants only on a primary residence. Deed record as of August 25, 2026.
Median tenure in Oyster Point is 6.1 years — the midpoint of time elapsed since each home's last recorded purchase. Half the neighborhood has owned longer than that, half shorter.
Oyster Point's annual turnover rate is 5.4% — the share of its 542 homes that changed hands in a year, measured from recorded deeds rather than from listings, so it counts sales that never appeared on the MLS.
Oyster Point is one of seven Mount Pleasant neighborhoods on this index, covering 3,481 homes matched to their parcel records one at a time.
What these three terms mean
- Owner-occupancy rate
- The share of homes whose owner claims the property as their primary residence. In South Carolina that claim is visible in the public record, because a legal residence is assessed at a 4% ratio and everything else at 6% — so this is a counted figure, not a survey estimate.
- Median tenure
- How long the current owners have owned, at the midpoint. A median rather than an average, because one house that has not sold since 1974 would drag an average somewhere misleading.
- Annual turnover rate
- What share of the neighborhood sells in a typical year. Low turnover means fewer homes reach the market, which is why a neighborhood can be desirable and quiet at the same time.

A county deed says what a home sold for. It has no idea what the seller hoped for on day one. That gap is the whole negotiation, and it only exists in the MLS record.

Where it sits
Off Rifle Range Road at Six Mile Road, about a mile north of the IOP Connector — bordered by Hamlin Sound and Gray Bay marsh, beside the town's Fort Palmetto Park.
How it was built
Opened 2013; D.R. Horton sold its final home in 2020. Effectively a 2015–2020 vintage community. D.R. Horton, with Emerald Homes (Horton's luxury division) on the marsh-view lots — this was a flagship upscale project, not entry-level product.
The homes
Yes — a production community with repeated Horton and Emerald plans, typically 2,000–3,500 square feet.
Amenities & HOA
Resort-tier: clubhouse and events hall, junior-Olympic zero-entry pool with cabanas, two-level fitness center, tennis, pickleball, basketball, bocce, kayak launch, community dock, seven fishing ponds, and three-plus miles of trails connecting to Fort Palmetto's Civil War earthworks. Managed by FirstService Residential; the community site lists single-family dues around $1,750 per year, with regime fees on attached product and a transfer fee plus capital contribution at resale (verify current figures before quoting).
Where Oyster Point falls in the corridor
Fifty-two years separate the oldest of these seven from the newest, which is what decides who buys here and which neighborhoods are honestly comparable.
