I'On Village

I'On is one of the most beautiful and well-planned communities in the South!  People from all over the world find and move to this lovely subdivision in South Mt Pleasant, only minutes drive to Downtown Charleston over the gorgeous Ravenel Bridge.  Offering a village type atmosphere, the community boosts several restaurants/bars, retail and many parks and trails to enjoy.  Also, if you are a Tennis, Swimmer and/or fitness buff, the I'On Club is a fantastic members-only club located in the subdivision that is absolutely delightful.  Many very good tennis players belong here and the local USTA league teams from here have won many state championships.

I'On is a vibrant community that seamlessly blends traditional Southern charm with modern living. A Neighborhood Built with true Heart and Vision thanks to Tom and Vince Graham, the developers and visionaires.

Developed in the late 1990s as a New Urbanism community, I'On was designed to prioritize walkability, connectivity, and a sense of community. Named after Jacob Bond I'On, an important figure in South Carolina's history, the neighborhood honors its Southern roots while embracing innovative urban design.

When you walk through I'On, it feels like stepping into a storybook. The streets are lined with charming, colorful homes, featuring porches perfect for sipping sweet tea or catching up with neighbors. Many homes boast traditional architectural styles, like Colonial and Charleston Single House designs, but with modern amenities.

One of the most delightful aspects of I'On is its focus on fostering connections. There’s a real sense of belonging here, supported by community events and shared spaces. From outdoor concerts to farmers' markets, 4th of July fireworks (which are amazing btw) the neighborhood calendar is always buzzing with activities.

At the heart of the neighborhood lies I'On Square, a small commercial hub where you’ll find cozy cafés, boutique shops, and local businesses. It’s the kind of place where you’re greeted by name—a rarity in many modern neighborhoods.  Favorites include the Irish Pub, O'Brion's (which we call OB's!), Community Table for fine fare, Saint Urban for cocktails in a speakeasy type setting and Square Onion for delisch deli options during the day.

I'On is a haven for those who love the outdoors. The neighborhood is dotted with lush parks, serene walking trails, and tranquil lakes, perfect for kayaking or paddleboarding. The Marsh Walk, with its sweeping views of the Lowcountry marshlands, offers some of the most breathtaking sunsets you’ll ever see.
