Located just to the West of Downtown Charleston, across the Ashley River, is the suburban town, James Island.  There is a wide range of price points and home styles to choose from on James Island and each segment offers a unique type of value.  

The best thing about James Island is that it’s sandwiched between two of Charleston’s best assets; Downtown and the beach!  To the Southwest of James Island is Folly Beach.  You’ll notice some of Folly Beach’s funky flavor permeating certain parts of James Island.  

For about $150,000 you can get yourself a nice condo or starter home on James Island.  You’ll be within 15 minutes of Downtown Charleston or the beach.  There is plenty of dining, shopping and nightlife but mainly it’s about convenience.   You’re never too far from anything when you’re on James Island.

Upping your price range above $300,000 can get you some very nice homes some of which even feature marsh views or deep water access.
