The largest of the three counties that make up the Charleston region, Berkeley County has seen explosive residential growth over the last decade. Its diverse economic base, wide range of housing choices and abundant recreational opportunities have made it an obvious choice for many home buyers.
Residential neighborhoods abound, from quiet countryside estates to waterfront homes to tree-lined developments. The city of Goose Creek and surrounding area has seen strong residential growth in recent years, with new neighborhoods springing up to take advantage of the city’s close proximity to Charleston.
Outdoor enthusiasts revel in the fishing, boating and other water activities available on lakes Marion and Moultrie and on the Cooper and Santee Rivers. Tennis aficionados enjoy both participating in the sport and watching the annual Family Circle Cup tournaments at the Family Circle Tennis Center on Daniel Island. Soccer fans will appreciate the chance to attend the home of Charleston’s professional soccer team, the Battery.
