Located within the City of Charleston, Daniel Island is one of the South Carolina Lowcountry’s preferred suburban addresses. This 4,000-acre island town features distinctive neighborhoods with a mix of home styles and prices, and landscaped streets with sidewalks that encourage leisurely strolls and neighborly conversations. Daniel Island’s growing collection of amenities include not only the essential components of a community - schools, medical centers, boutiques, restaurants, office buildings, a church and a modern supermarket - but also world-class golf, tennis and soccer facilities.
A master-planned community, Daniel Island began it's development in 1995 with the completion of I-526 through the island. Prior to this, the Guggenheim Foundation-held property was used as a cattle ranch and hunting preserve and was accessible only by boat. The 4,000 acre island is roughly 40 % developed. Responsible development continues in the neo-traditional style community, with an expected build out around 2012.
