 James Island is a large, established island west of the Charleston peninsula. It was here that the first major Union effort to take Charleston in the Civil War was fought. After the war the majority of homes were destroyed, and the area became again, a rural farmland. The area remained this way until the early 90’s when the James Island Connector opened, making easy access to the island possible. Since that time there has been an upsurge of development and house sizes and prices have steadily increased. From older more established neighborhoods to new developments, the island boasts a variety of housing options. Many homes have views of the Charleston Harbor. Those with deep-water lots and water views can cost up to $3 million. The wide range of neighborhood options range from $250,000 to $500,000.
