The community of West Ashley refers to the area just west of the peninsula of Charleston. It is bordered by both the Ashley River and the Intracoastal Waterway.
These waterways provide a playground for all of Charleston to enjoy. As the oldest suburb of Charleston, West Ashley offers a variety of architecture. New sprawling neighborhoods with golf courses, tennis courts and swimming pools are often appealing to young families looking for plenty of outdoor activities. The brick bungalows found in Byrnes Down & Old Windermere are highly desirable for buyers looking for early 20th century charm and character within their home and their neighborhood.
Traveling from West Ashley to other parts of the county is quite easy as this area provides direct access to Charleston proper, I-26 and 526. Convenience, shopping malls, both private & public schools, great restaurants and a 10.5 mile bike path make West Ashley very popular with Charlestonians both new and old!
