Description

Jones Lang LaSalle, a South Carolina licensed real estate broker, has been retained as the exclusive sales representative for Avalon at North Charleston, a compelling 285-unit suburban townhome community located at 7900 Rocky Mount Road in North Charleston, SC. This well-maintained 2009-vintage asset represents a rare opportunity to acquire a stabilized workforce housing community with significant embedded value-add potential and strong fundamentals in one of the Southeast's fastest-growing metros.

Avalon at North Charleston is currently 90% occupied and benefits from a substantial rent spread to market, creating immediate upside potential. The property features a desirable mix of 97 one-bedroom units (34%) and 188 two-bedroom units (66%) averaging 965 SF. Notably, the townhome product type is exceptionally scarce in the North Charleston submarket, with no comparable townhome developments in the current pipeline, providing insulation from new lease-up competition. Current ownership has already proven the value-add thesis, with renovated one-bedroom and two-bedroom units commanding premiums of approximately $179 and $205 per month, respectively. With 240 units remaining in classic condition (84% of total inventory), the new owner inherits a validated renovation playbook.

As Charleston continues to lead the Southeast in job creation and population growth, adding over 40 new residents daily, the Charleston MSA offers value-add investors a rare combination of immediate cash flow, proven renovation economics, and compelling long-term growth potential on a strategically positioned 27-acre infill site in supply-constrained North Charleston.
