Clements Ferry Road


Another part of town that's moving on up! This area still has some really great deals to go along with all of it's other good points . . . better and better!

"It’s east of the Cooper but it’s not in Mount Pleasant. It’s in the city of Charleston but it’s not in Charleston County. It is still largely rural, but light industry has moved in and rooftops are going up. Where are you? The answer is Clements Ferry Road, a developing corridor between Interstate 526 and S.C. Highway 41.

Back when the housing market was booming, Clements Ferry Road became a new residential hot spot. National builders scurried in, including D.R. Horton, Portrait Homes, Ryland and Centex.

'You have great access to I-526, the proximity to North Charleston, to Interstate 26 and to Daniel Island shopping and schools,' [Philip Ford, vice president of the Charleston Trident Home Builders Association] said. 'You’re close to Daniel Island but you’re not on Daniel Island…and you don’t have to pay Daniel Island prices.'

Retail will follow any residential development, [Charlie Moore of Batten and Moore Development] said.

'Daniel Island-type shops, those will be coming, as well as retail and residential services such as banking and grocery stores,' Moore said. 'Look at Long Point Road and I wouldn’t doubt you’ll see similar development along Clements Ferry Road.'"
