Part of the city of Charleston, Daniel Island represents
one of the area's fastest growing family communities.
A city within a city, Daniel Island lies at the very heart
of the region, just minutes away from downtown Charleston,
Mount Pleasant, the Charleston International Airport,
and other points of interest.
Located on 4,000 acres along Interstate 526, Daniel Island
is home to a number of distinctive neighborhoods which
feature a mixture of home styles and prices. Traditional
landscaped streets lined with sidewalks encourage evening
walks and interaction among neighbors; while tennis and
soccer facilities draw families to participate in these
popular sporting activities.
Daniel Island's Tom Fazio-designed golf course, which
opened in November of 2000, has been ranked among the
top 40 real estate courses in America. Currently, residents
are awaiting the island's second 18-hole championship
golf course, which is being designed by one of golf's
most distinguished architects, Rees Jones. Construction
is expected to begin sometime in 2004.
Access to hundreds of acres of parks, miles of rivers
and creeks with fishing docks and boat ramps, bicycle
and jogging paths and a private in-town club provide Daniel
Island residents with additional social and recreational
opportunities.
Downtown Daniel Island also offers residents a variety
of businesses and services within walking distance of
their neighborhoods. Shops, restaurants, office buildings,
medical centers, a spa and fitness center and a modern
supermarket, as well as two of the area's largest employers
call Daniel Island home.
Some of the area's best schools serve Daniel Island. Bishop
England, one of the state�s finest private high schools,
is within walking distance of residential neighborhoods.
The public schools are part of the highly rated Berkeley
County school system, which is noted for its physical
facilities, low student-teacher ratios and an uncompromising
commitment to excellence.
Other highlights on Daniel Island include Blackbaud Stadium,
home of the Charleston Battery, the area's own professional
soccer team; and The Family Circle Tennis Center, an 18-court
facility which is home of the world-renowned women's tennis
tournament, the Family Circle Cup.
