Poplar Grove: a master-planned waterfront community

Poplar Grove sits just off Highway 17 where Ravenel and Hollywood meet, a short drive from the small towns' farm stands and gather spots and about 30 minutes off-peak from downtown Charleston, with Kiawah Island's gate roads a shorter drive south. The community is set along Rantowles Creek and its tidal marsh, so water and open marsh are woven through much of the plan, and the setting leans deliberately environmental, with the creeks, wetlands, and live oaks given room.

The community divides into four named sections, The Landing, The Preserve, The Pastures, and The Peninsula, and each has its own character. The Pastures is the equestrian corner, with larger, more rural homesites, while the waterfront sections cluster around the creek and its deep-water access. Approved builders have included Lennar in The Landing and AR Homes in The Peninsula, which tells you the range of product a buyer can expect across the plan.

Poplar Grove is amenity-rich for a rural community. A boat landing and community dock provide deep-water access and a launch for fishing and kayaking on the creeks, and a saltwater pool, clubhouse, and fitness center cover the daily social and workout basics. An equestrian center with boarding serves The Pastures' horse-owning residents, and miles of walking, biking, and riding trails thread the marsh and woods, with a marsh observation deck for the Lowcountry's best sunsets.

Everyday errands are a short drive up Highway 17 toward Ravenel and Hollywood, with the area's farm stands, churches, and small-town gathering spots close, and downtown Charleston roughly 30 minutes off-peak for work, schools, and specialist care. For buyers weighing the whole Ravenel, Hollywood, and Edisto corner, Poplar Grove is the community that brings a full amenity set, water access, and custom homes together in one gated plan.
