Planters Pointe
Six sections, two entrances and one of the most common mix-ups in north Mount Pleasant: three of its sections sit inside the Rivertowne gate. It has its own association and its own pool, and the county record says exactly which homes are which.

The Planters Pointe record
Part one · the county deed record · published
Every home in Planters Pointe 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 Planters Pointe 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 1998 paid a median of $182K. Owners who bought in 2026 paid $770K. That is 28 years of this neighborhood's own history, from the deeds themselves.
2 additional years are held back — 1997, 2000 — because fewer than five homes sit behind each. Publishing a median off four houses would be a guess wearing a number's clothes.

Compiled from Charleston County public property records (recorded deeds and assessor data), matched parcel-by-parcel to this neighborhood. Pulled October 29, 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.
Planters Pointe's owner-occupancy rate is 92.6% — 624 of the 674 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 October 29, 2026.
Median tenure in Planters Pointe is 9.2 years — the midpoint of time elapsed since each home's last recorded purchase. Half the neighborhood has owned longer than that, half shorter.
Planters Pointe's annual turnover rate is 3.2% — the share of its 674 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.
Planters Pointe is one of fifteen Mount Pleasant neighborhoods on this index, covering13,009 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.
Part two · the MLS record · being assembled
The deeds tell you what changed hands. Only the MLS record can say how long it took, what the seller first asked, and how far the two ended up apart — and that pull is a working session on the brokerage's own MLS seat, not a feed this site can call. It lands here neighborhood by neighborhood.
Still to come
- The three Boulevard sections against the three inside-Rivertowne sections
- Every closing correctly attributed, whatever the listing called it
- Owner tenure as the late-1990s buyers pass twenty-five years
