Garage Condos in South Carolina

Overview and Pricing for Garage Condos in South Carolina:

The South Carolina garage condo market is experiencing growth across multiple regions, catering to vehicle collectors, motorsports enthusiasts, and boat/RV owners seeking premium storage solutions. Developments are concentrated in the Charleston-area coastal communities (Johns Island, Mount Pleasant, and Awendaw), the Upstate region (Greenville and Seneca), and the Fort Mill/Indian Land corridor near the North Carolina border.

Price points vary significantly across the state, ranging from $150,000 to $575,000 depending on location, unit size, and customization options. Most facilities offer climate-controlled units ranging from approximately 800 to 1,300 square feet with standard features including high ceilings (typically 18-20 feet), HVAC systems, electrical service, and security systems, while allowing extensive customization with mezzanines, bathrooms, bars, and entertainment spaces. The market emphasizes both the lifestyle aspect—creating community spaces for like-minded enthusiasts to gather and work on their collections—and the investment value of owning rather than renting storage space in a growing real estate segment. Several national brands are expanding into South Carolina, while local developments are emerging to meet demand from affluent collectors near major metropolitan areas like Charleston and the greater Charlotte region.

Entry / Base-Level Units: These are smaller garage condos (~1,000 sq ft) without all luxury upgrades, sold as part of communities that offer basic features like climate control, security, and the standard amenities (electrical, plumbing, heavy-duty doors). An example is Charleston Toy Box in Johns Island: a 1,000 sf unit listed around $350,000, which works out to about $350 per sq ft. These units are deeded ownership (“you own the garage”), with 20-foot ceilings minimum, and include gated access, HVAC, and basic shared amenities.

Mid-Size / Upgraded Units: The next tier up includes units of similar footprint or slightly larger, but with more finishes or customization: options like mezzanines, lofts, epoxy flooring, custom cabinetry, half/bathroom hookup, better security, etc. Monte Carlo Garage Suites in Indian Land (Charlotte metro area) is a good example: lots of garages come ready for customization, many with mezzanines and climate control, and prices for units in this luxury garage/storage-condo style market are reported to range up to $575,000 in some cases (depending on size and features).

Upper / Premium Tier: South Carolina’s “premium” garages are those that combine the upgraded features above with high-spec customization, large or multiple bays, premium finishes, more significant utility extras, and strong amenities/community amenities.
