James Island, Sc Townhouse Communities

Townhouses on James Island can be a little harder to find, since there are more condos for sale on the island than townhouses.  I’ve included below some of the most popular townhouse communities below, and I’ve organized them by price range.

Under $150,000:  In the lower price range, I’d recommend looking at Rivers Point Row.  Buyers generally like these townhouses because some of them have brick exteriors.  They were built from about 1978 to 1980, and the community has a pool.  Dove Run is another neighborhood to consider, and it has some of the most affordable townhouses on James Island.  You can find several right now for under $125K.  Although some of these units are brick, most are vinyl siding.  They were built in the mid 1980s, so they’re slightly newer.  Riverland Place has the newest townhouses in this price range, and it was built from about 1983 to 1987. 

$150,000 - $200,000:  Meridian Place is one of the best neighborhoods in this price range.  It was built from about 2002 to 2004, so they’re quite new.  They’re also one story, which can be hard to find.  This is a very dog friendly neighborhood, and there are paved walking trails throughout the community.  And, all of these units have fenced backyards.  Most of the townhouses under $200K don’t have garages.  But, if you’re considering spending more, you may want to look at the units that are towards the back of the neighborhood.  Seaside Plantation is another neighborhood I would recommend.  It usually has fewer townhouses for sale at any given time, so they can be a little harder to get.  These town homes were built in the 1980s, and this is actually a subsection of a larger single family neighborhood.  James Island does not have many neighborhoods with a mix of home types.  So, if you’re looking for more of a neighborhood setting, you may want to check out Seaside.

$200,000 - $300,000:  Besides a couple of units in Meridian Place, Eaglewood Retreat is about the only townhouse community in this price range.  But, buyers tend to really like this neighborhood.  It has charming Charleston styled town homes that were built mostly in 2006 and 2007.  These are some of the few townhouses on James Island with hardy plank siding.  You’ll find many other upgrades in these townhouses, too.  Eaglewood Retreat also has houses for sale, but they start in the high $300s.

$400,000 – $500,000:  Wappoo Creek Place townhouses have garages and plenty of space.  They were built in the early 1980s.  Although many of these units have been remodeled, some of them still need updating.  This neighborhood is kind of tucked away, so there is a lot of privacy.  But, it’s still really close to downtown (about a 10 minute drive).  Wappoo Landing is another community I recommend in this price range.  These are newer, since they were built around 2003.  They also have great marsh front views.  These units are elevated with a garage on the ground floor.
