West Ashley is the oldest suburb in Charleston and the closest to the Charleston peninsula. It is bordered by the Ashley River and Intercoastal Waterway. The English colonists first established their settlements in 1670 along the Ashley River. This area, now referred to as the Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site, is among South Carolina's most outstanding natural and historic parks, with 663 acres that feature a reproduction 17th century sailing vessel a natural habitat zoo and beautiful Low country vistas.
Also among West Ashley's historic treasures are three of the area's most visited plantations, Drayton Hall, Middleton Place, and Magnolia Plantation and its Gardens. But amidst this historic fabric, West Ashley is a thriving urban community with a population that has more than doubled since 1960 a testament to the area's livability.
West Ashley has also intermingled businesses with family-style living. Shopping at one of the largest malls in the Charleston area, or at a number of shopping centers that line the major thoroughfares offers convenience to residents of many West Ashley neighborhoods. The area also has a diversified mix of eating establishments.
Additionally, it is an easy commute to downtown Charleston for work, dinner, theatre etc.
