West Ashley

West Ashley, SC | Greenways, Avondale & Easy Access.

Welcome to West Ashley

West Ashley is Charleston’s everyday ace—leafy neighborhoods, river breezes, and greenways that turn exercise into a habit. The West Ashley Greenway and Bikeway link errands to fresh air; Avondale handles date night and patio hangs; and it’s a quick hop to the peninsula when culture calls. Weekends are nursery runs, long lunches, and bike rides under live oaks; weeknights are simple and close. If you’re after West Ashley Charleston convenience with legit parks and a friendly, front-porch rhythm, you’ll feel at home fast.
 

The Crescent

West Ashley's showpiece. Think Olmsted-designed streets, towering live oaks, and timeless brick homes from the 1950s-70s on generous lots. Waterfront pockets along the Wappoo and crescent-shaped lakes make it feel tucked away and elegant, yet you're still minutes to downtown Charleston. Buyers love the character and space; sellers love how rarely homes come up here.
 

South Windermere

A laid-back, close-to-everything neighborhood with a true "local" feel. You'll see classic ranches, renovated brick homes, and marsh or creek views in spots, plus quick access to South Windermere Center, the Greenway, and downtown. It's an easy daily lifestyle—quiet streets, big trees, and errands that take five minutes.
 

Wappoo Heights

For buyers who want water, boats, and a neighborhood that's quietly confident. Homes range from charming mid-century to newer custom builds, many with Wappoo Creek frontage or marsh views. t's one of those places where sunset walks and weekend dock time are normal, not special.
 

Avondale

West Ashley's social hub. A mix of bungalows and updated cottages near a walkable strip of restaurants, wine bars, coffee  shops, and boutiques. Living here means you can grab dinner, meet friends, and still be home in ten. It's a magnet for lifestyle-first buyers and a strong resale play for sellers.
 

Byrnes Downs

Old-school neighborhood charm with real consistency. Solid mid-century cottages, sidewalks, parks, and a friendly, "know-your-neighbors" vibe. Close to downtown and Avondale, it stays in demand because it checks the boxes: location, character, and livability.
 

Shadowmoss Plantation

Golf-course community with space to breathe. You'll find larger homes, mature landscaping, and that classic West Ashley feel—just with more square footage and amenities. Buyers come for value and neighborhood perks; sellers benefit from broad appeal to families and relocations.
 

Carolina Bay

One of the most popular newer communities in West Ashley, especially for buyers wanting modern plans, pools, play parks, and a strong neighborhood energy. Homes are newer, streets are active, and it's built for an easy, family-forward Lowcountry lifestyle—great for buyers who want turn-key and sellers who want a deep buyer pool.
