Melrose Park is a low-rise townhome and condominium community in West Ashley, Charleston built in 1978 and composed primarily of two-story 1- and 2-bedroom residences. Units combine traditional townhome circulation with condo ownership; floorplans commonly feature vaulted or high ceilings, open living/dining layouts, upstairs bedrooms with walk-in closets, and functional kitchens with pantry/storage space. Interior finishes vary by unit—laminate or vinyl plank downstairs, carpeting upstairs, and periodic updates such as granite counters, subway-tile backsplashes, and newer cabinetry appear in many listings. The complex’s exterior setting emphasizes shared green space and practical maintenance: landscaped courtyards, a front porch or stoop for most units, lawn irrigation, rain gutters, and exterior upkeep handled by the association. Community amenities center on active‑living and convenience, including a swimming pool, clubhouse with laundry, tennis courts, a dog park, and off-street parking; some homes include deeded garages. The HOA covers exterior maintenance, water, termite bond, common-area repairs and amenity upkeep. Pet rules and other restrictions are governed by the association. Located just off Savannah Highway with quick access to Route 526, Melrose Park sits 5–6 miles from downtown Charleston, near shopping, employers, and recreational corridors including nearby greenways and beach routes, positioning it as a low‑maintenance, commuter-friendly option within a mixed residential neighborhood.
