The Wall Street Journal recently published an article about the enduring popularity of Sullivans Island.  This historic beach town has long been a well-kept secret among South Carolinians, but with the growth of nearby Charleston, the quaint community has become exceedingly popular.  Homes sales in 2015 have already hit historic numbers catching the eyes of international buyers.  The island’s allure is due, in large part, to a handful of ordinances passed over the past 30 years that have blocked the development of high-rise condos and the kind of spring break-style debauchery that has plagued other East Coast beach towns.  Sullivans Island still posses the calm, cozy lifestyle so many enjoy.  “Mayberry by the Sea” does not come cheap , however, the median sale price for this area is $1.4 million.

Whether you are looking for a simple life by the sea or simply a fantastic getaway home, Sullivans Island is the place for you!  Stop by our Isle of Palms office to find out more about this sleepy beach town and what properties are currently available.
