Daniel Island

This award-winning planned community in the center of Charleston has evolved over 25 years into one of the top residential addresses in the region. Complete with restaurants, shopping, schools, churches, a professional tennis & entertainment venue, and a private country club, it is much more than a private community. Daniel Island is a true island town, home to over 15,000 residents, some of Charleston's top businesses, and several of the region's top festivals and events.

With the development of Daniel Island nearing completion, The Retreat is the final waterfront neighborhood to be offered within this award-winning community. Located on the northernmost edge of Daniel Island Park, this coastal enclave offers residents the privacy and coastal setting of a unique archipelago of islands, plus proximity to the private amenities of the Daniel Island Club, Daniel Island’s shopping and dining venues, and the world-famous attractions of downtown Charleston. A neighborhood dock, scenic pavilion, and boat launch are among the amenities that will be exclusive to residents at The Retreat. The final offering of homesites in this neighborhood will become available in the spring of 2024.

Overall, Daniel Island spans 4,000 acres and is surrounded by rivers, creeks, and the Charleston Harbor. Daniel Island boasts 23 miles of shoreline, offering residents access to boating, fishing, swimming, crabbing, and other aquatic pursuits. More than 400 acres of this sea island have been transformed into an array of parks and open green space, and more than 25 miles of leisure trails traverse the island, meandering through neighborhoods and parks, along the marsh, and through the island's downtown.

The island also offers a private country club, the Daniel Island Club, which features two champion 18-hole golf courses designed by Tom Fazio and Rees Jones in a setting of Lowcountry marsh, parkland, and tidal creeks. The club also offers swim, tennis, pickleball, and fitness amenities and several options for fine and casual dining, plus a year-round calendar of social and sporting events. Daniel Island is also home to The Waterfront, a vibrant community located on the Wando River with luxury amenities, dining opportunities, and dock facilities.

Off the island, there is much to explore. From the lively and historic streets of downtown Charleston - ranked by several national media outlets as the country's top travel destination - to Atlantic beaches, world-class culinary offerings, historic plantations, and more, Charleston truly offers something for everyone. And when the need to travel arises, Charleston's newly renovated international airport is just a 15-minute drive from the neighborhoods of Daniel Island.

Daniel Island is the 2007 recipient of the Urban Land Institute's prestigious 'Awards for Excellence'.
