Island Information for the Charleston SC Area

JOHNS ISLAND

John’s Island is one of the largest coastal sea islands on the Eastern shore. One can arrive on John’s Island with a quick ten minute drive from downtown Charleston, but it is a large island taking thirty minutes at least to cross over to Wadmalaw or Kiawah Islands. Two new bridges to John’s Island and an executive airport service encourage many Kiawah homeowners as well as newcomers to Johns Island. The new fixed span bridge crossing from James Island to Johns Island is also encouraging Charlestonians to look in this area. The tomato fields of this original farm center are quickly developing into rural suburban homes for Charlestonians, now that the roads are almost complete and the water flow from the city has been approved. The area still is unspoiled bragging of its acreage of lush landscaping and gorgeous oak trees. This is the home of the famous “Angel Oak”, a tree of substance with an estimated age of 1400 years old, and there are many oak friends hanging about in the lovely neighborhoods of this island.

Tidal creeks abound and the area is surrounded by rivers and waterways creating the views of the Wadmalaw Sound and the Kiawah and Stono rivers. Country roads bordered by great live oaks twist through a series of game preserves and newly-designed golf courses. Local farms are still in operation and offer produce roadside.

Johns Island SC Real Estate Johns Island is semi-rural with farm land but has a growing number of residential communities which are under development along parts of its waterfront providing some of the best values in deepwater lots and new waterfront communities. Large tracts of land are found on the island today. Johns Island is a short drive to downtown Charleston, and is convenient to both Kiawah and Seabrook islands.

KIAWAH RIVER ESTATES Kiawah River Estates is located just outside the gates of Kiawah on Hope Plantation. CLICK for photos of homes on Hope Plantation and Johns Island.

COTTAGE PLANTATION   Cottage Plantation is located just down the street from Kiawah Island and is an example of the many new mini-neighborhoods sprouting up along the Bohicket Creek on John's Island. These smaller neighborhoods tend to share a dock in the creek where they can access the waterways during high tide.

BRIAR'S CREEK Briars Creek is a new golf community just beginning development of the homes to surround the course. The idea is to keep the natural feel of the course but to still provide some housing opportunity in this exclusive club. CLICK HERE TO LEARN more about Briar's Creek Golf Community.
