Getting to Know Daniel Island
Affectionately tagged as “Charleston’s Island Town,” Daniel Island is governed by the City of Charleston but is a part of Berkeley County. Daniel Island offers residents a desirable lifestyle with world-class amenities, top-rated schools, and a close-knit community.
From private club privileges to vibrant neighborhoods and outdoor recreation, life here blends coastal luxury with everyday convenience.
Amenities & Entertainment
The coastal city has its own downtown area that includes a grocery store (Publix), numerous retail shops, medical practices, restaurants, salons, and other businesses. Residents enjoy biking to popular pubs and eateries, including The Kingstide, New Realm Brewing Co., Heavy's Barburger, Orlando’s Pizza, and Lidi’s.
With its amenities, dining options, entertainment, and businesses, Daniel’s Island's greatest asset is perhaps its dedication to preservation and outdoor enjoyment. Bike paths meander throughout the island, and wooded bike trails provide panoramic views of the Wando River.
Work Life & Commuting
Daniel Island is home to nationally known businesses such as Blackbaud and Benefitfocus, and it is a short distance from other major corporations like Boeing and SPAWAR.
Commuters appreciate the short commute via I-526 to downtown Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, North Charleston, and the Charleston International Airport. As one resident stated, “We really do not need to leave the island, but if we do, we are only 15 minutes away from everywhere else we would want to be.”
Sports & Recreation
Operated by the City of Charleston, the Recreational Department on Daniel Island offers numerous organized sports, including lacrosse, soccer, baseball, basketball, volleyball, and flag football. Additionally, the recreation department hosts after-school programs, camps, and classes focused on music, art, and community service.
Though not affiliated with the City of Charleston’s recreation department, Daniel Island also has its own competitive swim, soccer, baseball, and tennis teams. The tennis teams and soccer teams are often supported by coaches from the Credit One Tennis Stadium and the Charleston Battery Soccer team, respectively. Downtown Daniel Island also has a Japan Karate Institute and a recreation department.
The Credit One Charleston Open is an annual tennis tournament held on Daniel Island and features the world’s top female tennis players. When not used for tennis matches, the stadium hosts a variety of concerts, including an annual show by Darius Rucker and his former band, Hootie and the Blowfish.
Daniel Island’s Most Popular Neighborhoods
Daniel Island Park
Daniel Island Park delivers an exclusive lifestyle and incredible homes. Properties within Daniel Island Park range in price from $900,000 for a luxury townhome to more than $10 million for a custom estate.
Residents of Daniel Island Park automatically receive a social membership to the club, which includes access to the private swimming pools, tennis courts, club dining, and fitness center. Those who don’t live on the “park side” may purchase sports memberships, which include all the aforementioned amenities.
Full golf memberships include privileges to the two championship golf courses: Beresford Creek, designed by Tom Fazio, and Ralston Creek, designed by Rees Jones. Both courses are located at the same clubhouse, a Lowcountry-style mansion that features a golf and tennis shop, a pub, locker facilities, and casual dining.
Daniel Island’s Family-Friendly South Side Neighborhoods
Located on the south side of Daniel Island, established neighborhoods such as Codners Ferry, Etiwan Park, Cochran Park, Center Park, and Smythe Park all boast tree-lined sidewalks, quiet streets, and thematically constructed playgrounds.
Often called a “modern Mayberry,” these connected communities offer families close proximity to Daniel Island School, a top-rated school serving children from Kindergarten through eighth grade.
A consecutive recipient of the South Carolina Palmetto Gold honor, Daniel Island School has a concentration in science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM). In fact, students in grades three through eight receive a school-issued Google Chromebook for digital assignments, projects, and presentations.
After graduating from Daniel Island School, students transition to Phillip Simmons High School, a modern facility on Clements Ferry Road. Many families opt to stay on the island and attend Bishop England School, a private Catholic high school established in 1915. Bishop England is well known for its academic rigor and competitive sports teams.
Afterschool Activities on Daniel Island’s South Side
The baseball, soccer, lacrosse, and football fields are all conveniently located on the school campus, thus bringing together the entire community for Friday Night Lights. Parents need not worry about buses or carpools, as most elementary and middle school children utilize the bike paths to and from school.
After school, children enjoy fishing at Smythe Lake, biking to Tropical Smoothie for a healthy treat, swinging at Pierce Park, playing sports at one of the many open fields, or participating in after-school clubs and activities.
Residents of these neighborhoods have access to two swimming pools, one located on Scott Street and the other on Pierce Street. Outdoor grills and picnic areas are located by the swimming pools and at some of the parks.
Annual events such as the Pumpkin Walk, Light the Night, Scout fishing tournament, and Fourth of July festivities all lend to community camaraderie and sincere friendships.
