About Mount Pleasant's Laurel Lakes

originally posted on Mama Liz Blog
Alligators are in the pond between Laurel Lakes and the Loadholt property. This morning while Boyd was doing his early morning walk, one was sunning on the Loadholt property side of the lake just behind the barn on the edge of the pond. So, those of you who go swimming in that pond had better think twice about doing that -- I hear folks saying "Nah, there are no alligators there" -- Well, Boyd saw one with his own eyes this morning. The one he saw was about 3 feet long -- so there are probably others in there. Eliza, our granddaughter, made a sign and we helped her post it on a tree to warn folks about the alligators.

Laurel Lakes Subdivision consists of approx. 60 homes --the majority of which are located on a lake.

There are 2 entrances to Laurel Lakes - one from Rifle Range Road and one from Venning Road.

The subdivision has a very active homeowners association, so that the families get to know each other. It is like a large family.

Homes are priced from mid $300,000 to about $700,000.

School district: Elementary = Whitesides Elementary
Middle = Lain Middle School
High = Wando High

The lake has fish, so it makes for great fishing for the family.

Laurel Lakes is only 5 minutes from the Towne Centre in Mt. Pleasant, 5 minutes from the Atlantic ocean, and 15 minutes to downtown Charleston,SC.

Also, Laurel Lakes is just across the lake from The Loadholt property which is located in the county -- they have horses and a tree farm that makes nice views.

One cannot find a more convenient neighborhood.
