This isn’t just a trend—it’s a structural shift. 99.2% of new large-scale apartment units are concentrated in Mount Pleasant, Goose Creek, and Hanahan. The rest of the tri-county—including Hollywood and James Island—see little to no new supply. This hyper-concentration signals a deepening divide in where development, jobs, and investment flow. For real estate professionals, it’s a reminder that 'Charleston' isn’t one market—it’s a cluster of distinct, unequal nodes. How does this affect your strategy? Share your take.
