James Island, SC MLS and Home Search Options

We have several standard search options below that will let you search for homes for sale by price, property type, or location. These standard searches give you access to the Charleston MLS, but the best way to search for homes is to use our ADVANCED PROPERTY SEARCH that lets you set your specific search criteria.

James Island Single Family Homes for Sale

James island single family homes

James Island single family homes start in the high $100's for an older brick ranch-styled home and go up to several million dollars for a harbor front home overlooking the Battery. Single family homes in James Island will be less expensive for starter homes than homes in Mount Pleasant, but as you approach the four hundred thousand dollar range, you will find more for your money in Mt. Pleasant. This is because James Island has fewer homes in the higher price range, and also the vicinity to downtown drives the price of these homes up with the high demand. Click "James Island Single Family Homes for Sale" above to search for all of the single family homes for sale in James Island by neighborhood.

James Island Town Homes for Sale

James island town home listings

Town homes in James Island are very much in demand because of James Island's close proximity to downtown Charleston and to Folly Beach. James Island townhomes also make for great investments because MUSC and College of Charleston students and graduates have an affinity for the small town feel yet lively lifestyle offered on James Island. Town houses start in the low $100's for an older development and go up as you get closer to the waterfront town home developments near Folly Beach. If you're looking for a waterfront town home, I suggest you also consider Folly Beach.

James Island Condos for Sale

James island condominium listings

One of the best areas to find condos in Charleston is James Island. You won't find condominiums for a better price anywhere in Charleston - or better access to the beach and to downtown. There are several nice condo developments on James Island, but by far the nicest are The Retreat and Mira Vista. Condos in James Island make great low maintenance homes or great second homes near the beach. Condominium prices in James Island start in the low $100's, but you'll pay in the high $100's or more for a two bedroom condo at The Retreat or Mira Vista. Monthly regime fees for James Island condos run on average around $275.00, but this generally includes exterior insurance and upkeep of the community pools and clubhouses.

James Island New Construction Homes for Sale

James island, sc new construction homes

New construction homes in James Island are harder to find because there isn't much undeveloped land to build large neighborhoods on. For this reason, most of the new developments are smaller than what you will find in Mount Pleasant. Also, most of the new homes will cost more (prices start in the $300's) because of the higher land cost and the high demand for these homes. You will find several new construction home options in higher price ranges. If you don't find what you're looking for on James Island, you might consider neighboring areas such as Johns Island, West Ashley, or Mount Pleasant. In the north side of Mount Pleasant especially, there are several large developments right now offering new homes for sale.

James Island Waterfront Homes for Sale

 james island sc waterfront homes

Waterfront homes on James Island range anywhere from homes with a view of a neighborhood pond or lake to harbor front homes with incredible views of downtown Charleston. Marsh front homes and homes with access to water are also in high demand because James Island is so close to the ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Charleston Harbor. Waterfront homes start in the $250's for a pond or lake front home and cost $750K plus for a home with deep water access.

James Island Lots and Land for Sale

James island lots and land for sale

Lots and land on James Island are pricey because of the low supply of developable land for sale on James Island. Most home lots average around ¼ of an acre and start in the low $100's. Acre plus lots are very hard to find. So if you're looking for larger lots, I suggest looking at land for sale on Johns Island.

More about James Island, SC

Just over the Ashley River from historic downtown Charleston is one of the Lowcountry's premier undiscovered real estate values. Dotted with live oaks complete with hanging Spanish moss, easy access to rivers and the ocean, as well as stunning panoramas of cattails and marshgrass framing old Charleston's steepled skyline, James Island deserves serious consideration from prospective home buyers.

The charm of James Island is its balancing of growth and development with unparalleled accessibility. Running the length of the island is Folly Road, the main thoroughfare from West Ashley to Folly Beach. James Island is uniquely situated so that virtually all points of interest in the area can be reached in a ten minute drive: downtown, Folly Beach, Savannah Highway (leading to West Ashley), and Interstate 26.

On James Island there is a mix of residential homes amongst the small commercial sites, allowing residents easy shopping without the traffic, noise, and congestion that accompany large scale outlets. A wide variety of big-name stores including Lowe's, Wal-Mart, and Harris Teeter is intermingled with doctors' offices, independent bookstores, and small businesses. Virtually all shopping can done quickly and efficiently without ever having to leave the island. There are also numerous locally owned and operated restaurants and diners that span the range from just-caught local seafood and vegetarian fare to nationally recognized hamburger stands.

For those interested in one-of-a-kind boutique shopping and fine dining, however, downtown Charleston is only a quick drive over the James Island Connector. It is also a quick drive for those times when a trip to one of Charleston's indoor malls or outlet shops is necessary: less than ten minutes will put you on Hwy 17 South towards the Citadel Mall, on Highway 17 North towards Mount Pleasant, or on I-26 towards Northwoods Mall or the Tanger Outlets.

James Island has its share of exciting entertainment venues. Folly Beach is the perennial destination for college students and families alike, with its quaint charm and ample parking. The James Island County Park has something for everyone, including seasonal festivals, climbing walls, nature trails, the largest dog park in Charleston, and acres of rugged camp grounds.

This location is second-to-none for home buyers looking for the convenience of small town living with the benefits of living next to a large city. The mix of single homes and multiple family units in this area also make it an excellent choice for those looking to downsize and simplify their lives, or for those interested in purchasing viable rental property. And with the College of Charleston, the Medical University of South Carolina, and Charleston School of Law just over the water, James Island is always a popular place to call home for students.

James Island has a mix of older and newer houses. Home prices in James Island, SC vary according to many factors: proximity to the beach and to downtown Charleston, neighborhood, and whether the home is waterfront.

James Island is a great area for investors because of its popularity, its good rental market, and its great location.
