Suburban Heathwood-Old Towne is near downtown Charleston
Across the Ashley River from downtown Charleston, Heathwood-Old Towne is defined by its single-family homes and streets lined with mature live oak trees.

Still, buyers have been making renovations, and homes have been “moving fast,” as the area is close to some of Charleston’s historical attractions, medical facilities and good schools, says Randall Sandin, a Realtor with Carolina One Real Estate who has been selling in the area for 18 years.
