Zillow's July 2026 average home value cited $312,277 (down 1.7% YoY), US News cited $318,906, and a dated February 2025 Redfin figure cited $320,000 (down 5.0% YoY, disclosed as an older citation than the other two). Every reading sits well below both Mount Pleasant's and Charleston's own price ranges built elsewhere in this dataset.
Real, meaningful neighborhood-level variance
Park Circle, a planned early-1900s community anchored by a central circular park and a thriving arts/dining scene, carries a median home sale price around $570,000 -- well above the citywide figure. Olde North Charleston, an early-20th-century established neighborhood, shows an even higher median sale price around $703,000. Both illustrate real, specific pockets of the city where prices run closer to Mount Pleasant's range than to North Charleston's own citywide average.
Confirm the specific neighborhood, not just the citywide figure
Given this real neighborhood-level spread, buyers should treat the citywide $312,000-$320,000 range as a floor for many neighborhoods rather than a uniform figure -- get a current, neighborhood-specific comparative market analysis.
