James Island offers a wide selection of housing, from comfortable older neighborhoods to fresh, newly developed areas. Because of its convenience to downtown Charleston, James Island has seen a surge in residential development in recent years. This established island community is laced with creeks and sounds and is known throughout the region for its farming, fishing and shrimping, ancient live oaks, and more recently the Holiday Festival of Lights held annually at James Island County Park. Its close proximity to Folly Beach makes James Island a popular area with people who enjoy swimming, sailing and other outdoor activities, as well as moonlit strolls along the Atlantic shore.
