ABOUT OWNING WATERFRONT REAL ESTATE IN CHARLESTON SC ON JAMES ISLAND

The island is bordered by the Stono River and the Clark Sound, providing residents with a unique coastal experience that embodies the essence of Lowcountry living.
The tidal creeks are influenced by the ebb and flow of the tides, creating an ever-changing landscape that is home to a variety of wildlife, including birds, fish, and marine life.
