The West Ashley area of historic Charleston, South Carolina is a vibrant community of homes, schools, shopping, businesses, churches, restaurants and entertainment venues just eight miles from the city’s beautiful downtown area across the Ashley River. Flanked by the Ashley and Stono Rivers, the neighborhoods in West Ashley were initially developed during the 1950s and continuous residential and commercial development continued throughout the decades of the 1960s, 70s and 80s. With the construction of I-526 and Glenn McConnell Parkway, West Ashley saw explosive growth and today this vital area has many art and design businesses, the region’s largest indoor mall (Citadell Mall) and the area’s newest hospital, as well as many excellent public and private schools as well as a charter school.
With its convenient proximity to downtown Charleston and fifteen mile drive to Folly Beach’s Atlantic waves, West Ashley is a highly sought-after location for home buyers. The West Ashley area is within the city limits of Charleston and is not a separate town, another plus for homebuyers.
