Daniel Island, Charleston

The shape of the place

Daniel Island sits between the Cooper and Wando rivers, inside the Charleston city limits but with its own school campus, village centre and trail network. It was master planned in the 1990s on traditional lines: porches to the street, garages to the rear lane.

It appeals to households who want new construction and predictable amenities, and to buyers coming from other planned communities elsewhere in the country who recognise the pattern immediately.

What you will find for sale

  • Traditional style houses from 1998 onward, 2,200 to 4,000 sq ft
  • Townhouses and condominiums near the village centre
  • Custom waterfront homes on the Wando and Beresford Creek
  • Rental inventory is thin and leases quickly
