Johns Island Real Estate Agents
The biggest island near Charleston and the fastest-changing. New communities, big lots, and the Angel Oak down the road.
Living in Johns Island
Johns Island is the largest island in the Charleston area and, for years, the most rural. That's changing quickly along Maybank Highway and River Road, where communities like Stonoview, Swygerts Landing, The Preserve at Fenwick and Kiawah River have added new homes on what used to be farmland. Head further out and you still find acreage, older farmhouses and the Angel Oak.
The mix makes for a wide price range. Active listings start around $75,000 for lots and condos, and detached homes trade from the high $300,000s up to several million on the water and at Kiawah River. Buyers get more land here than almost anywhere else this close to downtown.
We help buyers weigh the tradeoffs: a longer drive to downtown and the base against space, newer construction and lower prices per square foot. We help sellers reach buyers who specifically want island living without the beach-town premium.
