Townhouses, bungalows and ranches
The residential streets in Bennett are divided into different pockets, making for a varied housing inventory. Two- to five-bedroom townhouses priced from $250,000 to $400,000 can be found at Lake Palmetto, a secluded community with views of the Ashley River. On the roadways branching out from Rivers Avenue on Woodstock’s east side, the primary options are bungalows and ranch-style homes built in the 1950s and 1960s, so there are plenty of investment opportunities. The houses are densely packed on narrow roads, with lot sizes typically falling well below a quarter acre. These properties typically cost between $180,000 and $275,000.

Students attend Charleston County School District
Several schooling options are available to students depending on where they live in Bennett. They’ll begin their education at Matilda Dunston Elementary School or Meeting Street Elementary School at Brentwood before filtering into one of two middle schools – Northwoods or Morningside.

All four of these school options have an overall C-plus rating on Niche. North Charleston High School scored an overall C on Niche. Students can take courses at the Cooper River Center for Advanced Studies, where they can work with career counselors and get hands-on training in varied subjects like architecture, health science or communications.
