James Island Living:

James Island is positioned between Downtown Charleston and Folly Beach, so it offers the best of both worlds. Most homes on James Island are a 5 to 10 minute drive from the beach.  

Located just across the harbor from Downtown, James Island is a quick drive or Uber ride to all the shopping, sites, and restaurants on the peninsula. Its location makes it ideal for commuting to Medical University of South Carolina, Roper Hospital, College of Charleston, and the Citadel.

There is also a good selection of public schools in James Island.
