Lawton Harbor on James Island

Lawton Harbor is a neighborhood that’s tucked away on Affirmation Blvd (located off one of James Island’s main thoroughfares, Harborview Road). There is just 1 stoplight between this community and Downtown Charleston which makes the commute about 5 minutes unless you’re traveling during rush hours (when it could take up to 15 minutes). Folly Beach is not far, either - just 10 minutes by car, and you are on the sand! Lawton Harbor is not a one-way-in-and-out subdivision but connects to Harbor Woods on the backside and Affirmation Oaks on the front side. This is a good perk for those who love to walk or jog because there is plenty of space to exercise without having to get on a main road. Houses in Lawton Harbor were built from 2000 to 2004, and there was only one builder in this community of 70 or so homes (providing good consistency among the streets). The exteriors of these homes usually appeal to James Island buyers because the vinyl accents are made to look like painted cedar shake, giving a cottage feel.
