Point Hope's thoughtful community design creates a conservation-minded bridge between the land’s natural resources and historic legacy and its vibrant future. Half of the community’s 9,000 acres will remain undeveloped

Do you want to know how to improve the community where you live? There’s no better way than to give some of your time to a local charitable organization that supports those who are less fortunate. In Charleston, there are endless ways to give back.

Residents at Point Hope already enjoy a diverse offering of shops, restaurants and conveniences right here in the community, but much more is on the way!

Rooftops are rising in Hopewell, Point Hope’s second neighborhood featuring coastal contemporary homes from David Weekley Homes, Pulte Homes and Toll Brothers. More than a 20 properties within the first section of this neighborhood are at varying stages of development and interest for the remaining sites in this offering remains high.

With new homes now well underway in Hopewell, our second neighborhood, the builders at Point Hope are expanding their home plan offerings. Four new plans from David Weekley Homes and a new layout from Toll Brothers are the latest additions to our collection coastal contemporary designs from our three builders.
