I’On always stands out in buyers’ minds after we show them around Mount Pleasant because there are simply no other communities like it in Charleston. No expense has been spared in recreating the architectural style of Downtown Charleston homes, from double chimneys to copper roof accents to wrought iron fences to triple porches to ornate cupolas. Home buyers wanting the look of a historic home without the maintenance of a hundred year old structure gravitate to I’On. Its location is also ideal since it’s only a 10 to 15 minute drive to peninsular Charleston and the beaches. Located off Mathis Ferry Road, this is one of the closest Mt. Pleasant neighborhoods you’ll find to the city.
Amenities in I’On are also some of the nicest, especially for tennis and pickleball enthusiasts. Its tennis center has its own club house in addition to 9 clay courts and full-time staff who lead programs and provide instruction for all ages.
In addition to the public schools shown below, I’On residents have the option to apply to the public East Cooper Montessori Charter School which is located within the community and accepts a small number of PK through 8th grade students each year.

I'On Club in Mt. Pleasant, SC: Amenities and Lifestyle
Home buyers choose I'On because it's one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Charleston and also because it has some of the best amenities. The Junior Olympic pool is a temperature controlled saline swimming pool. Its 8 lanes and 25 yard length make it perfect for laps. The I’On Club offers a very active swim team for kids age 5 and up, swim lessons, and aquatic workouts for all ages.
You’ll also find a baby pool that’s shallow for the little ones plus an adult lounge pool (both of these are saline as well).
The clubhouse overlooking the pool features a state of the art fitness center. Members can enjoy over 25 exercise classes each week including yoga, boot camp, and full body workouts. Personal trainers can also help get your fitness regimen to the next level. Another perk of this facility is the wide range of open hours which is convenient whether you enjoy early morning exercise or an after-dinner or after-work schedule.
I'On is renowned for its superb tennis facilities, and it’s earned the United States Tennis Association Tennis Facility of the Year Award. You'll find 6 clay courts and full-time staff offering lessons and programs for every age and ability. The Club also now offers 3 pickleball courts and pros to encourage the growing pickleball trends we’re seeing in Charleston. These tennis facilities have their own clubhouse which offers outdoor porch seating for onlookers.
The Creek Club at I'On is the main community club house and overlooks Hobcaw Creek. This site makes a gorgeous Lowcountry wedding venue complete with wide wrap around porch boasting marsh views and breezes. Inside of the Creek Club, you'll find a timeless cathedral ceiling with exposed rafters. A large outdoor space overlooks the marsh and has a fireplace, making Creek Club an excellent spot for oyster roasts and other celebrations as well.
I'On is one of the closest Mount Pleasant neighborhoods to Downtown Charleston (a 10-15 minute drive). In fact, from the club house and dock you can see cranes above the tree line from one of the Port of Charleston terminals.
The I'On dock includes an extra long floater and also a boat ramp located on Hobcaw Creek. Having a boat landing directly in your neighborhood is a huge perk for residents who love to boat because public ramps in Charleston can get busy especially in the spring and summer.
I'On: Mt. Pleasant's Premiere Community
I'On was designed to resemble historic Downtown Charleston, from the classic shotgun style designs to ornately landscaped courtyards to European piazzas. We've found that many home buyers want a house with traditional Charleston style, but they don't want the upkeep of a 100+ year old home, or they don't want to live in Downtown Charleston. I'On is an ideal neighborhood for these home buyers. Just 10-15 minutes from Downtown Charleston and the beaches, I'on offers a convenient location along with an upscale suburban lifestyle.
Some of the most sought after homes in I'On overlook 1 of 2 lakes located within the neighborhood. These are desirable for their great water views and privacy. The neighborhood has smaller-than-average lot sizes compared to other similarly priced Mount Pleasant homes for sale, with an emphasis instead on community green spaces and unbeatable amenities. So, these homes overlooking the lakes give the sense of having more space surrounding your individual home even if it's community owned property.
I'On has its own charming downtown section located within walking distance of most of the homes. Here, you'll find restaurants, shops, and even a bed and breakfast without having to leave the neighborhood.
O'Brion's Pub and Grille is one of our favorites because it has a fun and welcoming atmosphere with good sandwiches and entrees. The Square Onion is also a good and quick gourmet corner shop for salads, sandwiches, and soups.
The Inn at I'On is a bed and breakfast with 11 rooms for guests and also a restaurant and bar. The Inn is convenient for I'On residents who have guests in town wanting their own accommodations nearby, but it's also popular for out-of-towners not associated with I'On who simply want a boutique style hotel convenient to beaches and sightseeing.
With Charleston's mild weather year round, the neighborhood has ample sidewalks and trails that allow you to get outside and explore every month of the year. So whether you want to stroll down to the pub for dinner or ride your bike to the amenity center to play tennis, the walkability in I'On is hard to beat!
I'On homes are zoned for James B. Edwards Elementary, Moultrie Middle, and Lucy Beckham High School which all rank well in Charleston County. Additionally, the East Cooper Montessori Charter School is located within I'On. This is a public school that accepts a limited number of applicants each year for grades PK-8. (In other words, the Montessori school is optional for I'On residents.) With about 400 students, its intimate size and close proximity make it helpful for neighborhood residents who want to walk their kids to school.
After 20 years' experience in local real estate (and specializing in Mt. Pleasant), we have to say that I'On is still one of our favorite neighborhoods to work in. Buyers and REALTORS® alike enjoy the charm, and it's such a unique community for our market. Plus, our past clients who live in I'On love it! We'd be happy to give you a tour and share feedback based on our experience. We can also show you around the most popular neighborhoods in Mt. Pleasant so you can compare and decide which one is the best fit for your family. Just let us know how we can help!
