About Goose Creek's Liberty Hall Plantation

Liberty Hall Plantation - Goose Creek SC

Marriam-Webster's dictionary defines a Plantation as "an agricultural estate usually worked by resident labor."  For those who are not from the Charleston SC Metro it may seem a bit odd that so many neighborhoods are called plantations.  Nearly every community that is called a plantation has a historical significance.  Today these plantations that were once known for their agriculture are now vibrant communities    

One of the newer neighborhoods that bears such a name is Liberty Hall Plantation in Goose Creek.  Historically, Liberty Hall was a rice plantation that was originally granted in 1683.  The 900 acrea parcel changed hands several times as an agricultural plantation until the Civil War.  In the early 20th century it was used as a hunting preserve.  Today, Liberty Hall Plantation is a Centex Homes neighborhood.

Liberty Hall Plantation is one of the many new neighborhoods in Goose Creek, SC (a suburb or Charleston SC). It is a community built and designed by Centex. The neighborhood features a community pool and a playground area. Here is a good look at the Community Map.

Home sales in the community have shown a decrease in the last few years for a few different reasons. First, the economy's downturn has caused a slowdown in resales and also new construction sales. Second, this is a common trend in a new neighborhood. As the neighborhood matures, the number of homes that need "to be built" dwindle and thus the sales shrink as well. Third, resale homes in new construction areas during an economic decline are simply harder to sell. Why? There are quite a few foreclosures and short sales in the area. This tends to lower the value of the home because the banks are able to lower their prices below what a homeowner can afford to do. Here are the statistics for Liberty Hall Plantation in the last year:
