• James Island

James Island is a large triangular sea island that is framed by Wappoo Creek and Charleston Harbor on the north, Morris Island and Folly Beach on the east, and the Stono River and Johns Island on the west. Affectionately nicknamed "Jim Isle," it is laced with creeks and sounds ... and well known for its farming, fishing and shrimping, and it’s ancient live oaks.

James Island is a family-orientated community, offering a wide selection of housing, from comfortable older neighborhoods to fresh, newly developed areas, all at relatively low prices considering its proximity to the beach and downtown Charleston making the area appealing to young families and retirees alike. And thanks to the recently completed James Island Connecter, a bridge connecting the island to downtown with four lanes of express traffic, James Island has seen an even stronger surge in residential development over the last ten years. Many of these developments are centered around the large marshes and tidal creeks found throughout the island.
