Where we are located AND According to the real locals (who’ve been here for generations), James Island is one of the areas that still maintains a feel of how Charleston used to be. It’s not as planned and manicured as some others areas of town, but you’ll drive down the road and have Spanish moss hanging over your car as you drive. There’s a very local feel here and there are plenty of old timer James Island folks who wouldn’t live anywhere else.

The house has a great location,and is on the water with incredible views. We built the house and placed the windows based on the marsh and creek location. You can be downtown in 7 minutes and you can be on Folly Beach in about 12 minutes, it’s the best spot in Charleston in my opinion.

The drive from James Island to Downtown is my favorite drive in Charleston, the views of the city and the harbor as you come up to the highest point of the connector are beautiful.

The area is full of delicious local

Food. Especially in Riverland Terrace which is like our little 5 points of James island. It’s about a 3 minute driveway and free parking. Or treat yourself to true artistic culinary dining anywhere in downtown Charleston. Folly beach is right up there with fabulous menus and eclectic restaurants to flip flop into on beach days. It’s very difficult to get a bad meal anywhere within a 15 minute drive.
