Again, we made this video to cover things to help you when moving to Charleston South Carolina that go beyond just looking at homes for sale.
Here are some things you will find when watching this Charleston Relocation video:
+ What it is like living on James Island
+ Fun things to do when living in Charleston SC.
You will find in this video there are two consider when moving to James Island.
First, how close do you want to live to Folly Beach, SC?
Secondly, is being close to Downtown Charleston, SC important to you?
Many people ask me where the best neighborhoods in Charleston are, and that is a tough question to answer.
I start by asking the question, what is most important? Is relocating to Charleston driven by schools? Do you need to be close to MUSC? , How close would you like to be to Downtown Charleston? Are you thinking about Charleston waterfront property?,
The good part about living in Charleston is that it does not take too long to understand the layout of Charleston. The Ashley River and Cooper River meet at the Battery on the Downtown Peninsula, which forms the Charleston Harbor. This helps make the city easy to understand because you can use it as a center point, and then work your way out from there when planning your move.
There are also many different businesses here. Working in Charleston is very desirable because we are on the coast, and the cost of living here is still reasonable. With that said, depending on your expertise, there are many jobs in Charleston.
Thanks so much for your interest and whether you are relocating to Charleston for work or whether you are moving to Charleston to come enjoy living in the near the beach, thank you for watching this full Charleston Video Tour series and we hope this helps you better understand James Island. Reach out anytime with questions or comments.
Thank you!

    Folly Road can really test your nerves, the traffic is terrible in the summer especially on the weekends. Everyone wants to go to Folly Beach, you have to leave real early if you want a parking spot there, come after 10am and your out of luck unless you do get lucky and catch someone backing out.

    Hi Jody, There are a few spot areas on James Island that you have to be wary of, and a few spot areas in West Ashley and then there are streets downtown that you have to watch out for… Otherwise, there are no problems. Unless you’re on front Beach and a big hurricane comes, then there could of course be an issue with tidal surge … But it doesn’t necessarily flood here all the time. It’s really not a problem
