Grand Charleston-style estates along Bulls Bay and new construction subdivisions

Most homes in Awendaw were built between the 1990s and early 2000s, but the demand for housing in Charleston has brought several new developments to this once-rural neighborhood. Expansive traditional homes with five or more bedrooms sit on multi-acre properties along the Intracoastal waterway. These waterside estates feature elevated foundations to prevent flooding and typically list between $1 million and $2 million. New construction Craftsmen-style homes with large front porches are neatly organized throughout the neighborhood in recently developed subdivisions. Attached two-car garages with wide driveways provide ample space for parking, and community parks allow children to play close to home.
