West Ashley

Just across the Ashley River from historic Charleston, the aptly named neighborhood of West Ashley is a grid of attractive residential streets and districts. The part of the neighborhood east of I-526 is densely populated, with Sam Rittenberg Boulevard acting as a major commercial corridor. Many homes for sale in West Ashley are clustered in this area, giving residents access to the sector's best amenities. Avondale is a major draw, with a Main Street feel replete with lovely store fronts housing shops, breweries, and restaurants. Many of West Ashley's most desirable neighborhoods border the Avondale entertainment district. 

Near this stretch of business is Citadel Mall, the region's largest indoor shopping mall. But there are lovely green spaces here too, such as St. Andrews Park and Playground, in addition to the serene river and marsh views the area is known for. The fabulous Greenway is a linear park stretching over 10 miles along some of the best neighborhoods in West Ashley, with bike and stroller access to multiple shopping and entertainment districts. Connecting to the Greenway is the West Ashley Bikeway which is another lovely linear park perfect for biking through some of West Ashleys most lovely neighborhoods.

Despite its proximity to Charleston's downtown and its busy main streets, this area remains a quaint place to live, with many nice homes situated on avenues lined with moss-adorned oak trees. Eye-catching real estate in West Ashley is not hard to come by, with options to fit an array of tastes and budgets.
