Charleston Neighborhoods

Pick two or three Charleston-area neighborhoods and see them side by side — home values, commute, transit, flood risk, and landmarks — instead of reading three separate guides. That spans the historic downtown peninsula and its close-in neighbors (West Ashley, James Island, North Charleston), Johns Island and Folly Beach, Mount Pleasant and the barrier islands (Isle of Palms, Sullivan's Island, Daniel Island), and the Tri-County towns further out (Summerville, Goose Creek, Moncks Corner, Hanahan, Ladson).

Every figure below is pulled directly from that neighborhood's own guide on this site — nothing new researched or estimated for this page. Where a neighborhood's own guide doesn't have a clean figure (or flags it as rate-limited, dated, or uncertain), this table says so rather than filling in a guess — Daniel Island, for instance, has no single sourced home-value figure because Zillow's own page for it was returning rate-limit errors when its guide was researched, so its guide cites a local broker's market-range analysis instead. Nothing here ranks one neighborhood against another — you're seeing the same facts side by side so you can decide what matters to you.

Add a neighborhood:

Home values: as published on each neighborhood's own guide — most from RealtyTrac's own market data (median listing and/or median sold price by ZIP code), several from Zillow's Home Value Index (a typical-value estimate, not an appraisal of any specific property) or Redfin's median sale price; Daniel Island's guide cites a local broker's 2026 market-range analysis instead, since Zillow's own page for the island was returning rate-limit errors during research, and Ladson's cites the Census Bureau's American Community Survey median home value for a place without its own dedicated listings market. As-of dates and data sources vary by neighborhood because each guide's own research does. Commute: typical drive time (or bridge/route) to downtown Charleston's historic peninsula; expect longer at rush hour, especially across the Ashley and Cooper river bridges. Flood & storm risk: a general exposure category based on documented past events, not a parcel-specific assessment — always check FEMA flood zone maps for a specific address. See our Charleston property tax guide for the county-by-county breakdown.
