Mahogany Run is one of the few communities in St. Thomas with 24/7 staff-guarded gates. It was originally developed in the 1970s and 1980s as a luxury neighborhood surrounding the prestigious Mahogany Run Golf Course.
Unfortunately, in 2017, the golf course suffered devastation from Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria and has since been shut down. Despite this, Mahogany Run continues to be a highly sought-after community in St. Thomas, thanks to its great location, stunning views, and gorgeous upscale homes.
