The most popular kind of home site these days. If you’re wanting to build in a PUD (planned unit development) or in layman’s terms a traditional lot & block neighborhood with rules and regs usually you’re going to be ok with most of the lots for sale, as it is customary for the developer to have organized and planned out every detail for you. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some other factors you should look into (or your agent). HOAs can be a nightmare too.
One of the biggest factors to consider when buying a lot here in the Charleston SC area (and all of the coastal regions of SC) is the grade or the land’s “levelness” if you will, with the surrounding land so that it is flat and not below the rest. As you’ll see in the graphic to the right, there are many ponds shown. That’s because when the surrounding land around you is at or just above sea level as is the case with coastal areas, developers have to account for all the rain runoff, and they do this by making retention ponds. Some listing agents will say a lot is “waterfront” or “pond front”, and it maybe be. However, it is actually just a required retention pond dug for fill dirt and rainwater. If you buy a lot that is near wetlands or is below grade it might cost you $15,000 in dirt just to bring the lot to grade, and level with the surrounding land. So you don’t want to buy it seeing trees, and brush only to find out after the lot has been cleared you can’t start building until you’ve spent thousands of $$ dumping truckloads of fill dirt. It might be better just to buy a lot that is already high enough or been brought up to grade.
The three types of lots above are just common examples of what you’ll find regularly in SC. Obviously, you could have a corner wooded lot. Wooded just means it’s not on waterfront or lakefront, and the seller’s agent is conveying to the buyer that you’re in a more “foresty” type community. You’ll have to have the lot cleared of trees as well. In terms of desirability, that’s really up to the people buying it and what’s important to them. If you have small children or plan to, then those people usually want something in the back of the neighborhood on a dead-end road, or cul-de-sac. Corner lots are desirable to some because some people don’t want neighbors near, or want two ways to drive onto their property. Corner lots tend to be the more expensive when buying in development because most people like the idea of having the ability for ingress & egress from two sides of the property and not having neighbors on the sides. Then again, there are also people who don’t like the idea of having cars coming and going on both sides of them.

In a zip code where waterfront almost never comes to market, 328 Maggie Road stands alone as a truly rare offering. Set on 2.73 acres, this private peninsula is a point of high ground surrounded by water on three sides and reached by crossing your own bridge over the marsh. From there, the homesite opens to more than 180 degrees of unobstructed views across Foster Creek toward the Wando River, with protected wetlands that preserve the natural landscape, the tidal creeks, the wading birds, and the Lowcountry sunsets into the future.No HOA. Your vision. No committees. In a zip code dominated by covenant-controlled communities, this property answers only to you. Design the home you want, whether modern, traditional, or something Charleston has never seen. Create a detached guest house, a private workshop, or simply enjoy the ability to keep your boat on your own land. There are no monthly fees, no architectural review boards, and no restrictions on how your waterfront retreat takes shape. With approximately two acres of high ground, water and sewer available at the road, a clear title, and OCRM remediation complete, the property is ready for its next chapter. An approved dock permit allows for a 175-foot dock with boat lift, and the creek provides approximately six to seven feet of water at high tide with direct access to the Wando River and Charleston Harbor. From your future dock, the surrounding marsh system offers exceptional inshore fishing for redfish, speckled trout, and flounder, along with seasonal shrimp and blue crabs, while offshore access opens the door to mahi-mahi, tuna, snapper, and more. Despite its sense of privacy and separation, the property sits in the heart of Mount Pleasant. Belle Hall's shopping and dining, everyday conveniences, and Belle Hall Elementary are just one mile away, with Lucy Beckham High School nearby. Shem Creek's waterfront restaurants and marinas are within a short drive, and both historic downtown Charleston and the beaches of Isle of Palms are approximately ten miles away. This level of seclusion on the water, paired with immediate access to the area's most established destinations, is rarely found in 29464. Snowden continues to see meaningful investment, including new sewer infrastructure and the planned I-526 interchange, further strengthening accessibility while the surrounding marsh and waterways remain naturally protected. As surrounding neighborhoods continue to mature, the opportunity to own a private, protected waterfront peninsula of this scale becomes increasingly uncommon. This is 2.73 waterfront acres in Mount Pleasant that are private, protected, and free from HOA constraints, a combination that rarely exists. The only way to fully understand the beauty of this property is to see if for yourself! Schedule a sunset showing before its GONE!

The shape and size of a lot can also be a considerable factor when you’re looking to purchase “dirt” for building a home. In the case above where you’re looking to buy in a PUD, the builder/developers have already subdivided tracts of land such that it maximizes their profitability. They don’t usually take the shape of the lot into much consideration, and they design out the neighborhood to make sure they: One – get county and city building and zoning approval, and Two so they can sell as many homes as possible.
Obviously the shape of the lot will vary based on the shape and size of the land that has been developed, how the roads have been cut, sidewalks, the requirements of the city, easements, and appurtenances, etc., but above are the most generic common shapes you’ll find. Obviously, when building a home on a pie-shaped lot they will be on a cul-de-sac, AND it can be tricky for an architect to design (depending on size) is something to consider.
COMMON GLOSSARY OF TERMS TO KNOW WHEN CONSIDERING BUYING DIRT/LAND/LOT
Setbacks – The amount of required space your property must be away from another home, the road etc. is the minimum distance which a building or other structure must be set back from a street or road, a river or other stream, a shore or flood plain, or any other place which is deemed to need protection.
Easement – is a legal right to use another’s land for a specific limited purpose. In other words, when someone is granted an easement, he is granted the legal right to use the property, but the legal title to the land itself remains with the owner of the land. This usually mostly applies to things like city / neighborhood drainage easements, and utilities.
HOA – As mentioned above if you buy a lot to build a home in a PUD you’re going to have a Home Owners Assoc. which is going to have rules and regulations you HAVE to adhere to as part of the neighborhood. If you don’t can result in fines and hassle. For this reason, many people do not like PUDs.
Regime Fees – Very similar to HOA fees (mainly just a legal name difference) in many instances, if your neighborhood has amenities, common areas etc.. there will be fees due often times at closing, monthly or quarterly to maintain and pay for those items.
Building Restrictions – if you purchase a lot in a PUD where the developer is just selling lots and not also building homes – PUDs, city or county will have rules and restrictions that your home design must adhere to or not do. So ask for a copy of the building codes BEFORE buying the lot. Especially, if you already have architectural drawings completed or a home plan you want to use.

FLOOD RISK
Here is Charleston SC, which is much different from some of our state’s other major markets of Columbia (Midlands), and Greenville/Spartanburg (Upstate) flooding is a regular way of life that one must consider when owning or buying real estate in the low-country. Coastal areas such as: Sullivan’s Island, Hilton Head, Pawley’s Island, Edisto, Georgetown, Myrtle Beach, Isle of Palms, and all of Charleston SC people have to always consider the floor risk. Especially if you’re looking to buy a waterfront property then building your house off the ground is a must. Virtually all the land near the coast of South Carolina will be close to or at sea level, and although direct hits from hurricanes, believe it or not, are rare, the tidal surge is not as rare. With high tides and deluges of rain from tropical storms, you have to have flood insurance in most instances even if you’re in an X zone which technically doesn’t require it. It is still smart.
