The market here
Listings here usually name only “Kiawah Island” as the neighborhood, so the MLS can’t count Orange Hill on its own. The island’s numbers — 121 sales in the last 12 months, median $1.71M — are on the Kiawah Island page. Mike pulls this neighborhood’s sales by hand.
Mike can pull every Orange Hill sale from the MLS and the county and walk you through them.
Send me the compsBased on information from CHS Regional MLS for the period 01/01/2021 through 10/14/2026. MLS figures are aggregates of listings as entered by agents, deemed reliable but not guaranteed. No listing, address or agent is shown.
What yours might sell for
Orange Hill doesn't have five recent MLS sales to build a range from — which is exactly when a real CMA matters. Mike pulls the comps by hand: this neighborhood, its neighbors, and what's for sale now.

KICA assessments
Orange Hill is on Johns Island, outside the Town. Ask KICA and the Kiawah Island Club what applies here before you count it.
Inside the Town of Kiawah Island only
AskKiawah Island Club membership
Ownership here comes with Kiawah Island Club membership, by the developer's account; the Club doesn't publish its fees.
Available only with select properties. Agent pages report initiation at $185,000 golf, $160,000 sports and $120,000 social, and say it is mandatory in Cassique and The Settlement — none of that is from the Club.
SecondaryProperty tax levy — St. John's Fire District
216.1 countywide mills + 30.0 St. John's Fire District. Covers Seabrook (TD 53), Kiawah (TD 54), and Johns Island and Wadmalaw outside any town (TD 51 — "T.D. 5-1" on the county map).

Ask these before you buy here
- Ask the Kiawah Island Club and the developer what assessments and dues come with this property, in writing.
- Ask whether a special assessment is planned or underway, and what the reserves hold.
- Ask what the regime maintains — roofs, siding, docks, pools — and what's yours.
- If you'll rent it out: Orange Hill is outside the Town of Kiawah Island, so the Town's rental license isn't the one — ask Charleston County and the regime what applies.
- Look up the flood zone for the exact address — zones change within a neighborhood. Look it up.
Mike asks them for you — and reads the regime's answers before you sign.
