Lifestyle
Riverside at Carolina Park
Nestled among ameandering
maze of quiet sidewalks, under the
shade of oaks, pines and palmettos,
and along the banks of the Wando
River is a blossoming neighborhood
called Riverside. As the premier
neighborhood in Carolina Park, it
has been carefully planned to allow residents to embrace
the natural ambience and live a Lowcountry lifestyle in a
friendly and welcoming community.
“There are so many aspects that make Riverside a unique
place to live,” said Haley Cuzzell,
community sales manager at
Carolina Park. “It is planned
for 545 homes on 545 acres.
The lots are large – roughly
one-fourth to one-half acre
each – and the remaining
acreage allows for privacy,
green spaces, walking trails
and more.”
Most lots back up to
protected wetlands, ponds or a
natural wooded setting. Lush
landscaping allows bike paths
and sidewalks throughout. Residents will enjoy Carolina
Park’s fabulous amenities, including a pool, playground,
tennis courts and gathering spaces, and will also have
access to Riverside’s private amenities, a future private pool
overlooking the Wando River, a crabbing dock, a kayak and
paddle board launch and 20-acre Bolden Lake.
“This neighborhood promotes laid-back, Lowcountry
living with an active, outdoor neighborhood lifestyle,”
Cuzzell said. “Because Carolina Park as a whole is a
new neighborhood, everyone here is new also, whether
they’re from Mount Pleasant or from out of town. The
neighborhood is designed to make it easy to make friends.”
Another aspect that sets Riverside apart is the high-quality
architecture, Cuzzell said. Riverside’s eight preferred builders
have been carefully selected for their reputation, workmanship
and customer service. While home buyers have more than
60 floor plans from which to choose, options are limitless
because each plan can be modified. Buyers also have the
option to completely custom build their home from scratch,
using a preferred builder and architect.
“People have a vision for what they want, and what’s
unique about Riverside is that these home buyers can
think outside of the box. Most production builders
don’t let you modify the plans,” Cuzzell explained. “In
Riverside, if there’s a plan a home buyer likes but they
want the bedrooms to be larger or they want to add
something special, like double porches or even small
things like some barn doors
or fixtures they saw on Houzz
or HGTV or Pinterest, they
can easily do that. Choosing
a floor plan and modifying to
exactly what you want makes
the custom-build process more
efficient.”
Emphasis is placed on high-
quality materials and finishes,
energy efficiency, durability and
the latest technology. Homes are
built on crawl spaces, with the
option of an attached or detached
garage. As a natural gas community, gas ranges, cooktops,
tankless water heaters and gas fireplaces are benefits inside
the home, while the gentle flicker of gas lanterns adds to
the neighborhood’s ambience.
“This is both front- and back-porch living – a sense
of privacy and community,” Cuzzell said. “It’s a walkable
setting. Schools, a new library, fire station, retail shops and
more are being built right here in Carolina Park. It’s close
to shopping, the beaches and downtown, with quick and
easy access to Highway 17.”
Riverside homes range from the high $500s to more than
$1 million. Sales are handled through Carolina One New
Homes. For more information on Riverside, contact Haley
