Goose Creek is surrounded by nature with a large military presence
Named by Money magazine as one of the best places to live, Goose Creek is known for its friendly, suburban vibe in the heart of the Lowcountry. Goose Creek living brings you within around 20 miles of Charleston’s delights and beach access, but with a comparatively lower cost of living. While there are plenty of employment opportunities right in Goose Creek, it’s still a practical choice for Charleston commuters.
A large portion of Goose Creek includes undeveloped areas bordered by the Back and Cooper Rivers on the east and south. This area is also home to the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command, Naval Weapons Station Joint Base Charleston and the main Navy Exchange. In this less developed area, you’ll find trailheads for hiking as well as the Redbank Golf Course, proudly serving active duty and retired military, veterans and guests.
Goose Creek has large homes that back up to golf courses and ponds.

Events include holiday celebrations and the Goose Creek Fall Festival
Goose Creek’s neighbors enjoy small-town gatherings such as the City of Goose Creek’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt in Dogwood Park, and a St. Patty’s Day BBA & Brews Festival with live music in the grassy lot behind the Carnes Crossroads Green Barn. While most of the area’s tourist museums and attractions are outside of Goose Creek, residents here make frequent use of Wannamaker North’s more than 15 miles of rugged hiking and cycling trails. Joint Base Charleston charges for entry, but it’s a fun site to tour and see military life firsthand. Year-round, the Goose Creek Farmers and Artisans Market showcases local artisans, growers, crafters, farmers and businesses’ goods, frequently with a backdrop of live music. There are always plenty of festivals, events and historic tours happening in nearby Charleston, not far from home; however, Goose Creek residents love their own Goose Creek Fall Festival benefitting local charities. This annual event features food trucks, local entertainment, and lots of kids’ activities. You also won’t want to miss the Fabulous Fourth in the Creek spectacular display at the Goose Creek Municipal Center.
