Waterfront living in Charleston's Sandhurst
Sandhurst, bordering the marshy Ashley River, offers waterfront living near a commercial corridor. The community saw significant residential development in the 1960s and 1980s. The riverside neighborhood has maintained a serene nature since its development in the 1960s and 1980s. But the area sits in the middle of the ever-expanding West Ashley district, which is home to nearly half of Charleston's residents. "They are getting ready to be uber-focused on working on the commercial and functional side of West Ashley," says Charleston native Ashley Dangerfield, the broker and owner of Charleston Home Team. "Like bringing in more things that bring people in. They are adding pedestrian walkways, adding more parks and making it more community oriented."
Access points to the Ashley River and nearby parks
Northbridge Park sits along a causeway on Sam Rittenberg Boulevard. Overlooking the Ashley River, the park has a pier and a floating dock for canoes. There's also a small beach. "Ashley River has lots of fishing, sailing, lots of boating, you name it," Dangerfield says. Locals may also access the river at county boat launches about 5 miles away. Pierpoint Boat Launch is along Church Creek, and the Wappoo Cut Boat Landing provides access to the Intracoastal. On the opposite side of Sam Rittenberg Boulevard awaits Parkshore Park. The green space has a baseball diamond, tennis courts and a playground. Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site is a state park and tourist destination. Visitors can walk along the preserved grounds of South Carolina's first colonial settlement for an admission fee.
Waterside homes in Sandhurst
Most residences in Sandhurst are brick homes with driveways and attached garages. Buyers will find ranch-style houses, two-story homes with colonial influences and Tudor-inspired dwellings. Housing prices depend heavily on square footage and proximity to the water. Properties along the marshy river can range in price between $775,000 to $1.5 million. Homes further inland can range in price from $550,000 to $850,000. West Ashley is known for its flood-prone communities. Some nearby neighborhoods recently received newly installed pumps to reduce the impact of flooding.
Visiting Charleston Sports Pub and Ashley Landing
Sam Rittenberg Boulevard, to the east, has a mix of national storefronts and local establishments. S & S Cafeterias offers a rotating menu of homestyle southern comfort food. Charleston Sports Pub is a popular option on Tuesdays for trivia nights and discounted margaritas. The nearby Ashley Landing shopping mall has a Publix supermarket, clothing stores and the Frothy Beard Brewing Company.
A neighborhood charter and local public school options
Families are zoned for Springfield Elementary, which has a B-plus rating from Niche. The A-rated charter school Orange Grove Elementary accepts kindergarteners to eighth graders. Because the charter is located inside the neighborhood, Sandhurst residents receive priority in the school's lottery system for enrollment. C.E. Williams Middle School for Creative & Scientific Arts has a B. West Ashley High also has a B. The high school offers clubs in philosophy, music and NJROTC.
Getting around on Sam Rittenberg and I-26
The neighborhood borders Sam Rittenberg Boulevard, which brings residents to popular Charleston destinations across the river. Traveling across the water takes commuters to Interstate 26, which leads to the historic downtown Charleston in about 7 miles. Drivers can also reach downtown through Old Town Road. The Charleston Area Regional Transportation's bus route 32 provides stops along the roadway.
