Daniel Island is the perfectly planned island community that has become part of Charleston, in spite of the separating distance of 23 miles of rivers, marshes and creeks. Once an isolated farm and game preserve, Daniel Island was molded into the exclusive suburb that it is today, offering a private nationally-ranked, 18-hole Tom Fazio golf course, a second 18-hole new Rees Jones course, and private country club facility. Also offered is a 17-court tennis center that is home to the Family Circle Cup, and a well-appointed activity center with exercise classes and workout facility. The island features community boat ramps and crabbing docks, acres of parks, a private nature preserve, plus a chic commercial district that features upscale shopping and rave restaurants.
Named an “America’s Top 100 Master Planned Community” by Where To Retire Magazine in 2005. Daniel Island’s well-planned communities and amenities have won numerous awards.
Daniel Island Park is the most exclusive area on Daniel Island. home to the two golf courses, country club, and activity center, it is sought after not only for its beauty, but also for its convenience. Homes are close together but stately. Many hug the courses.
Located on the southern end of the island, Smythe Park is the newest neighborhood on the island. It features a 22-acre park with an 11-acre lake. Kids walk to the new K-8 school located in this neighborhood of marsh-oriented and private wooded home sites. Residents here are members of the Daniel Island Community Association providing access to Pearce Park Pool and Pavillion, Scott Park Pool, and miles of trails and bike paths.
