Known as one of our barrier islands, James Island has so much to offer! Given it’s proximity to downtown, many enjoy the slower pace of island life while still being close to the hustle and bustle of downtown. The island offers a great landscape for neighborhoods, some older and some newer. With a great proximity to Folly Beach and many communities that aren’t governed by an HOA, James Island offers locals a more laid back lifestyle while still offering education on island, grocery stores, places of worship, and plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors like James Island County Park. If you don’t jive with other areas, you may jive with James Island!
