West Ashley Real Estate Agents
Charleston's biggest neighborhood by far, from the mid-century streets of Avondale to newer communities out Bees Ferry Road.
Living in West Ashley
West Ashley is everything west of the Ashley River inside the City of Charleston, ZIP codes 29407 and 29414. Close to the bridges, Avondale, Byrnes Downs, South Windermere and Wespanee have 1940s to 1960s homes on established streets and a walkable strip of restaurants on Savannah Highway. Drive out Highway 61 or Bees Ferry Road and the neighborhoods get newer and larger: Shadowmoss, Carolina Bay, Grand Oaks, Village Green and Hickory Hill.
Active listings start around $140,000 for condos, and most single-family homes trade between the high $300,000s and $700,000s, with the inner neighborhoods and the river-adjacent homes above that. West Ashley gives buyers a downtown commute at a price Mount Pleasant can't match.
We help buyers sort the inner ring from the outer ring on commute and flood zone, and help sellers price against the right micro-market, because a Byrnes Downs comp says nothing about Carolina Bay.
