More West Ashley, SC Information
West Ashley real estate is priced substantially less than other real estate located this close to downtown Charleston. West Ashley is often the place buyers choose if they are wanting to live closer to Charleston and to the beach with the lower house prices found in Summerville.
By taking Cannon Street due west out of downtown Charleston and over the scenic Ashley River, one will soon find that the familiar sights of tourists and recessed traffic lights of the Holy City have changed for quaint brick homes, renovated storefronts and bustling commerce.
Named because of its location adjacent to the Ashley River, West Ashley has acted as a suburb for the greater Charleston community for much of the twentieth century. Even though its history extends much further back, as Charlestown Landing was among the first of the southern colonial settlements, West Ashley is now a progressive and transitional area of Charleston County, and one with many divergent styles for the interested homebuyer.
As one of the larger commercial centers of Charleston County, West Ashley is connected to Charleston's other suburbs by several major highways. Running due west from downtown is Highway 17 (Savannah Highway), and heading northwest from that same starting point is Highway 61 (St. Andrews Highway/Ashley River Road). Intersecting these two major highways several miles out is Interstate 526, creating the triangle of commerce and development within West Ashley.
From the area immediately adjacent to downtown to the farms of rural West Ashley some thirty minutes away, West Ashley has several distinct districts. Beginning with Old West Ashley, this location is uniquely situated beside both Ashley River as well as downtown. Housing in this area is an eclectic mix of residential homes and mixed-use businesses, clustered primarily in established older neighborhoods. Homesites in Old West Ashley are most commonly 1960's one-story single family brick units located on amidst old growth oaks on trim lots. However, prices for these homes are generally higher than other areas in West Ashley because of their location and quality of construction.
Continuing along Highways 17 and 61 will next lead to a more bohemian quarter, complete with revitalized storefronts mixed with more recent development. While single family units may still be found here, there are also apartment complexes and condominium regimes as a more price-conscious alternative. From this area on, Highway 17 shifts primarily to high density commercial, with myriad shopping, entertainment and employment opportunities such as Citadel Mall, office complexes and big box retailers (such as Best Buy, Home Depot and Barnes & Nobles, to name a few) until gradually returning to low-density residential in rural West Ashley.
Highway 61, on the other hand, has maintained a more even balance between commercial and residential development. Large scale developments of new homes can be found within easy driving distance from shopping and entertainment, with the added bonus of lower costs per square foot than can be found in much of West Ashley. This area is also home to Charleston's newest hospital, Bon Secours St. Francis, offering convenient healthcare assistance.
