More about Sullivan's Island
There are only a few condos on Sullivan's Island. The majority of the island is made up of single family houses with a small commercial area that has a gas station and restaurants. Sullivan's Island is also home to historic Fort Moultrie and the Sullivan's Island light house, which can be seen from Downtown Charleston.
One of Charleston's enduringly popular beachfront communities, Sullivan's Island combines ease-of-access with family centered development. Located ten miles from downtown, Sullivan's Island is an easy drive through Mount Pleasant on Ben Sawyer Boulevard. Sullivan's Island can also be reached via its sister community to the north, the Isle of Palms.
With a history that belies its modest size of three square miles, Sullivan's Island has played an important role both on the state and national levels. With its location just off the mouth of Charleston Harbor, Fort Moultrie was the first line of defense against naval bombardment of Charleston from the Revolutionary War until World War II.
While British cannons could easily destroy standard brick-and-mortar fortifications, the palmetto logs favored by the colonists could absorb repeated cannonades without shattering. This realization, and the successful defense of the island during the Battle of Fort Moultrie, gave South Carolina its official nickname of the Palmetto State and the distinctive palmetto design on its flag.
Aside from military history, Sullivan's Island is also known as the setting for the famous Edgar Allen Poe short story, "The Gold Bug".
At heart, however, Sullivan's Island is relaxed and laid-back, geared towards being a family-focused, residential community. While condominiums and townhouses are available on the island, these are the exception to the general rule of single-family dwellings on moderately sized lots.
This emphasis on measured growth, combined with beachfront location and close proximity to downtown, has made housing costs traditionally higher on Sullivans Island than in other Charleston communities.
Even during the peak months of Charleston's vacation season, Sullivans Island retains its quiet and relaxed charm. As there are less vacation rentals than on Charleston's other beaches the tranquility of the island is unchanged through all of the seasons.
Although commercial development on Sullivans Island has been eschewed in favor of Old South charm, it is only a scenic, ten minute drive to Patriot's Point, Mount Pleasant and historic Charleston.
Whether you are looking for the boutiques and excitement of downtown, the large retailers of Mount Pleasant or even the numerous attractions and restaurants of Mount Pleasant Town Center, Sullivan's Island is conveniently located to all of these.
