Isle of Palms

Isle of Palms

The beachfront sanctuary of both seasonal vacationers and year-round residents, Isle of Palms is less than 18 miles from downtown Charleston, yet worlds away from its urban chaos. Here, residents start their days with beautiful sunrises and salty breezes instead of traffic jams. With a population that barely tops 4,000, this slice of island paradise is the antidote to stressful city living. Isle of Palms real estate reflects this appreciation for a higher quality of life, with many properties boasting beautiful interiors, tastefully landscaped yards, and easy access to the beach.

This area's status as a vacation spot goes back to the late 19th century when the island was only accessible by ferry. Development continued after World War II, cementing the island's destiny as a place to live and play.

In Island of Palms, houses for sale tend to cost a pretty penny, but they boast all the amenities you'd expect from coastal dwellings. Still, there are some more affordable properties peppered throughout town, usually tucked a few blocks from the beachfront.
