Why Dunes West Homes Sell Faster Than Other Mount Pleasant Neighborhoods (2025 Guide)By Brandon Bott — Dunes West Realtor Since 2012
If you’ve noticed that homes in Dunes West seem to fly off the market faster than many Mount Pleasant neighborhoods, you’re not imagining it. In 2025, Dunes West continues to outperform many surrounding communities in demand, days on market, and price retention.
Here are the exact reasons why.
⏱️ 1. Gated Security Is a Major Draw
Buyers relocating from:
New York
New Jersey
Chicago
DC
Atlanta
California
…place a massive premium on gated entry.
Dunes West’s 24/7 gate adds:
Peace of mind
Prestige
Lower traffic inside the neighborhood
Increased perceived safety
This drastically increases buyer demand.
🌴 2. Resort-Style Amenities Keep Demand High
Dunes West offers:
Golf course
Pools
Clubhouse
Fitness center
Tennis
Boat launch
Miles of trails
Buyers want a master-planned, lifestyle-first community — and Dunes West delivers that better than most.
🎒 3. Top-Rated Schools
Families prioritize:
Wando High
Lucy Beckham (depending on rezoning)
Carolina Park Elementary
These schools attract relocators willing to pay premiums.
🏡 4. Larger Homes + Bigger Lots
Compared to newer communities, Dunes West offers:
Larger yards
Mature trees
More space between homes
More privacy
Buyers love the “established but modern” feel.
🚤 5. Waterfront + Marsh Options
Few neighborhoods offer:
Deep water
Marshfront
Tidal creek
Golf + water combos
Options for every lifestyle = more buyers.
📉 6. Limited Inventory = Faster Sales
Because families love living here, turnover is LOW.
