Conveniently located on the Charleston Peninsula
Adjacent to Interstate 26, the community of Bennett makes it easy for buyers to experience the culture, entertainment and vibrant shopping centers North Charleston offers. Residents can get to Downtown Charleston in less than 15 minutes. Its proximity to the peninsula’s amenities without its price points makes it a popular homebuying location for those moving to the area. “It’s an attractive area to first-time buyers and investors because the city has put an emphasis on growth around Rivers Avenue, but the price point is as affordable as North Charleston can be,” says Daniel Atwill, a broker with Roadstead Real Estate Advisors who has been selling real estate in the area since 2001.
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.
