Del Webb Point Hope

Del Webb Point Hope is the newest 55+ community in the area and the only one with a City of Charleston address, on the Cainhoy peninsula. It is also the most expensive: closings so far have centered around $857,000. You are paying for location, about 10 miles from Mount Pleasant and 20 miles from downtown Charleston, instead of a Summerville commute.

What it is and where

Del Webb Point Hope is a 767-home 55+ neighborhood on a 502-acre parcel inside the 9,000-acre Point Hope master plan, along Beech Hill Drive on the Cainhoy peninsula in Berkeley County, per the Post and Courier. SCBIZ reported it is about 14 miles from Isle of Palms, 20 miles from downtown Charleston and 10 miles from Mount Pleasant.

The Post and Courier reported in September 2025 that the community will be built in four phases of roughly 190 homesites, with three homesite levels (Scenic, Distinctive and Echelon), six one-story models (some with optional second floors), and pricing that a local agent put in the low $500,000s at that time. Sales contracts were set to begin in November 2025.

Planned amenities include a clubhouse with a cafe and catering kitchen, fitness studio, indoor and outdoor pools, event space, tennis, six pickleball courts, bocce, walking trails and a lifestyle director. New Homes Guide Charleston lists the clubhouse at 22,000 to 24,000 square feet; earlier materials said 25,000. The Post and Courier says it is golf cart friendly.

The MLS shows the first closings in 2026, filed under both 'Point Hope' and 'Del Webb Point Hope.'

HOA fees

About $286 a month on 2026 listings.

HOA and regime fees as entered by listing agents on CHS Regional MLS listings that closed or were for sale in the last 12 months, pulled 2026-11-08. Agents don't always split the master POA fee from the 55+ regime fee the same way, so treat these as a starting point and get the HOA's current budget and resale certificate before you offer.

Under $500,000?

Not here. None of the homes I matched to Del Webb Point Hope closed or were listed under $500,000 in the 12 months to Nov 8, 2026. My 55+ under $500,000 guide shows where that budget works.

Pros

  • Closest new 55+ community to Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island and downtown Charleston
  • Brand new homes and a large planned amenity center with a lifestyle director
  • City of Charleston address

Cons

  • Highest prices of any 55+ community in the MLS, with closings mostly between about $650,000 and $1,000,000
  • Early stage: expect years of construction, with build-out estimated at a little under seven years
  • Clements Ferry Road traffic, and amenities may not be finished when you move in

Before you make an offer

  • Get the HOA's current budget, the resale certificate and any capital contribution or transfer fee due at closing.
  • Read the recorded covenants for the age policy. Under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act, a 55+ community sets its own rules for who must be 55 and whether anyone younger can live there.
  • Run the address through my flood zone lookup and get an insurance quote during your inspection period.
  • If it's new construction, bring your own agent to the first model visit. Many builders won't add an agent later. My new construction directory lists who is building now.

Common questions about Del Webb Point Hope

What are the HOA fees at Del Webb Point Hope?

2026 MLS listings show about $286 a month. It's a new community, so fees can change as it builds out. Ask for the current budget and any capital contribution due at closing.

Is Del Webb Point Hope under $500,000?

No. None of the 55+ sales I matched to Point Hope in the 12 months to Oct. 28, 2026 were under $500,000, and nothing was listed under $500,000 on Nov. 8, 2026. It's the closest Del Webb to downtown and Daniel Island, and it's priced that way.

Where is Del Webb Point Hope?

On the Cainhoy peninsula inside the 9,000-acre Point Hope master plan, off Clements Ferry Road, with a Charleston mailing address in Berkeley County. My Cainhoy and Wando guide covers the roads and taxes.

How I matched the MLS numbers: MLS SubdivisionName 'Point Hope' (19) and 'Del Webb Point Hope' (3), City Charleston, Berkeley County, combined. All built 2026. Del Webb is the only 55+ section I found in Point Hope. Many new-construction closings are entered by the builder after the fact with 0 days on market, which pulls the median DOM down. Closed residential sales flagged "55+ Community" in the CHS Regional MLS, Oct 28, 2025 to Oct 28, 2026. Medians, not appraisals. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
