Design-Ready Living in Point Hope: A New Home Opportunity Between Daniel Island and Mount Pleasant

May 27

A Personal Look at Toll Brothers Homes and Charleston’s Most Anticipated New Community

In 2007, my husband Eric and I bought our first home together just off Clements Ferry Road. At the time, this area felt quiet and full of potential, but it’s incredible to see what’s unfolded in the years since.

Today, Point Hope, located between Daniel Island and Mount Pleasant, is one of Charleston’s most thoughtfully designed and fast-growing master-planned communities. And with Toll Brothers currently building here, it’s become a must-watch opportunity for anyone looking to buy new construction homes in Charleston.

The Layla Model: A Look at What’s Possible

The Layla model home in Point Hope gives buyers a beautiful preview of the style, finishes, and functionality Toll Brothers is known for. With a coastal contemporary design, this home features an open-concept floor plan, designer kitchen, first- or second-floor primary suite, bonus loft and flex spaces, and a covered patio perfect for Lowcountry evenings.

Even if you’re considering one of the other available plans, the Layla sets a high standard—and offers a tangible feel for what life could look like in a Toll Brothers home.

Now Selling: Design-Ready Homes

Toll Brothers has just released five design-ready homes in Point Hope, with three more coming soon. These aren’t full custom builds—but they’re not cookie-cutter specs either.

Here’s what makes them special:

Structural options, lot premiums, and floorplans have already been selected
You choose the design center finishes (cabinetry, countertops, lighting, and more)
Base price range: $740,000–$980,000
Estimated completion: October - December 2025
First five homes are alley-load, with three non–alley-load homes coming soon

If you're searching for new construction homes near Daniel Island or Mount Pleasant, these homes strike a rare balance between personalization and timeline.

Why Buyers Love Point Hope

Point Hope was designed with connection, convenience, and long-term livability in mind. The land itself was part of the original Guggenheim purchase that also led to the development of Daniel Island, and the community spans both sides of Clements Ferry Road.

What makes the Point Hope lifestyle stand out:

A trail network connecting homes to shops, dining, services, and parks
Future Doolittle Park featuring pools, pickleball and racquet courts, a recreation center, and play spaces
Walkable access to Berkeley County’s Philip Simmons schools (Elementary, Middle, and High)
Proximity to Daniel Island, Mount Pleasant, and I-526—perfect for commuting or daily errands

For buyers who want the charm of Charleston with the convenience of a master-planned neighborhood, Point Hope offers the best of both worlds.

Let’s Find Your Fit

Curious about Point Hope? I’d love to help you navigate the offer process, make smart (and beautiful) design decisions, and advocate for your best interests every step of the way.
