New construction homes continue to develop in rural Awendaw

Residents of Awendaw enjoy a slower pace of life surrounded by natural beauty. This vast neighborhood expands across miles of humid Lowcountry along Charleston's Intracoastal Waterway. In recent years, Charleston's ever-growing population has brought several new construction subdivisions to the rural beaches of Awendaw. Despite these new developments, Awendaw remains known for its scenic waterside views, fresh-caught seafood and laid-back atmosphere.

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. A four-bedroom house in one of these cul-de-sac communities can range from $500,000 to $700,000.
