About Liberty Hill
Liberty Hill’s homes and churches belong to a community established in 1871. Neighborhood organizations connect residents with repair help, utility-assistance applications and homebuyer coaching. Felix Pinckney Community Center is a local reference point for afterschool learning and a seasonal outdoor pool.
A community rooted in landownership
Liberty Hill was established in 1871 after Paul and Harriet Trescot sold land to freedmen including Ishmael Grant, Aaron Middleton, and Plenty and William Lecque. Homes, churches and family landholdings developed into a community that predates North Charleston’s incorporation. Its history helps explain the neighborhood’s continuing emphasis on homeownership and preserving family connections.
Local help with repairs and utility applications
The Liberty Hill Improvement Council’s resource directory is a practical starting point for residents seeking home-repair help or assistance applying for utility support. It also identifies the Redevelopment Group for neighborhood improvements and the Historical/Genealogical Society for family-history work. Contact links are provided by organization, so residents can send a repair request or a family-history inquiry to the group handling that work.
Homebuyer preparation through a neighborhood nonprofit
The Charity Foundation describes affordable-housing work on Mint Street and partnerships with Origin SC and Increasing Hope. Those partners provide financial coaching, credit repair and home-purchase advisory services. The programs page links a contact form for referrals and questions about current housing projects.

The outdoor pool follows a summer season
Felix Pinckney Pool is at 4790 Hassell Avenue. It is an outdoor seasonal pool, separate from the city’s indoor swimming facilities. At the October 2026 review, the Recreation Department lists all outdoor pools as closed for the season, with 2027 dates still to be announced. The aquatics page is the place to check reopening dates and admission charges.
Liberty Hill Apartments has its own application process
The Housing Authority lists Liberty Hill Apartments at 4830-G Courtyard Square. This is a named housing development with its own project-based voucher process, rather than a description of all rentals in the neighborhood.
At the October 2026 review, its RAD project-based voucher waiting list is listed closed. Use the authority’s applicant page for later opening notices; the published property contact is 843-553-6659. An older opening notice or a place on a waiting list does not establish that an apartment is available now.
