Many neighborhoods in one
Ashley Acres is like a gerrymandered district. The neighborhood seems to be made up of disparate parts. On the north, military housing and a military RV campground for the personnel at Joint Base Charleston are off-limits to the public. Between Charleston International Airport and the Ashley River is a 3-mile stretch of postwar sub-neighborhoods with low-lying houses, upscale condominiums and riverfront mansions, ending where Interstate 526 winds its way around North Charleston. “Really nice ballparks for kids and families to play on, lots of shopping and grocery stores,” is how Jeannene Ondrasek, a long-time local Realtor with Carolina One Real Estate, describes Ashley Acres.
