James Island

Why you'd want to live in James Island

James Island has been known as a semi-rural area with vast farmland for a long time but was recently urbanized as Charleston city kept expanding its borders. However, it’s one of the few areas that managed to preserve that suburban, small-town feel it’s known for. The island is located between Downtown Charleston and Folly Beach, which boasts scenic views over the ocean, rivers, and marsh. This ideal positioning has caused an increase in the demand for housing in James Island, especially in recent years. Prospect buyers want to enjoy the authentic, suburban feel of the community and the spectacular beaches, all while being just a few minutes away from Downtown Charleston. James Island is known for its surf shops, local restaurants, offices, and bars lined through Center Street. Similar to its neighboring islands and cities, James Island has a rich history that is today blended with the eclectic vibe and hip feel of the city. Every year, James Island hosts the 3-day Island Heritage Festival that celebrates the African culture embedded in this island’s history. via google
