Condos on James Island are popular among buyers who want little to no maintenance and a good location. Condos by definition don't have backyards, but they often have private porches. Instead, most James Island condo developments have common areas or green spaces throughout the community that are maintained through the monthly regime fee. James Island condo regime fees range from about $140 to more than $500 per month. They usually include maintenance of the common areas, exterior maintenance of the building, access to amenities, and exterior insurance. Since this fee can greatly influence the affordability of your condo, be sure to ask us about the prices for different James Island condo developments and what the regimes include!
We recommend that buyers with budgets under $230,000 consider condos and townhouses. Although it's possible to find houses in this price range, they usually need more work and out-of-pocket expense than buyers are willing to make. With the great selection of James Island condos on the real estate market right now, buyers are generally very pleased to learn that they can live in such a nice home within a short drive to downtown Charleston and Folly Beach.
Mira Vista and The Peninsula (see below) are the closest condo communities to Downtown Charleston. In fact, you'll see both of these developments as you drive over the James Island Connector. Mira Vista is the one on the right as you're coming from Downtown, and its colorful and architecturally pleasing buildings are hard to miss. Although the location is unbeatable, Mira Vista has some of the highest regime fees on James Island. Depending on the floor plan you choose, fees range from $257 to $507 per month.

The Peninsula is located on your left as you're coming over the James Island Connector from downtown (directly behind Lowe's). The stop light at Ellis Oak Drive provides easy access to Folly Road, since this is one of the busiest streets on James Island. The Peninsula was originally built as apartments in 2001, but the buildings were converted to condos a few years later. The Peninsula condo regime fees are also quite steep, with prices ranging from about $217 to $458 per month (the HOA is currently working on getting these lower).

The Regatta is the newest condo development on James Island. Built in 2006, this community also has some of the nicest amenities. Monthly regime fees range from $226 to $417 and tend to be more affordable on average than The Peninsula or Mira Vista when you compare the same size condos. If you're looking for a condo with lots of upgrades, The Regatta would be one of the best places on this list to start your search. Most of these units have stainless steel appliances, quartz counters, nine foot smooth ceilings, and crown moulding. View all of The Regatta condos currently for sale...
The Retreat condos were built from 2003 to 2005. Amenities for this gated community include a pool, fitness center, and club house. Elevators are also in every building, which is a feature that is hard to find among James Island condos. Boat storage is also available at an additional cost. There are three floor plans to choose from, and regime fee prices range from $292 to $333. The Retreat only has two and three bedroom floor plans.

Rivers Point has some of the most affordable condos on James Island. Regime fees start at $198 and go up to about $275. Buyers like that these condo buildings are mostly brick, since most James Island condos have either vinyl or hardy plank siding. Rivers Point is an older community since it was built from 1978 to 1980. Rivers Point appeals to buyers looking for affordable, entry level prices on James Island who are willing to make renovations as needed in order to get such a great location.
