Daniel Island real Estate and specifically Daniel Island Park better known as “The Park” side which is very interestingly funny considering there are 8 different “parks” on the other side of the island: Center Park, Barfield Park, Smythe Park, Pierce Park, Codner’s Ferry Park, Cochran Park, Etiwan Park, and soon to be Edgefield Park which most of are just different sections of Daniel Island real estate. The east side of the island where those neighborhoods are will be where the most reasonably priced homes will offer prospective buyers less pricey options. Closest to the schools (and the parks in which kids play) on Daniel Island, these neighborhoods would likely be the best option for those with children as the convenience of dropping them off and picking them up would appeal to parents.
SCHOOLS – EDUCATION on DANIEL ISLAND:

Because Daniel Island, and the areas closest to Daniel Island (off Clements Ferry Rd) are in Berkeley county most of the current schools dedicated to residents not wanting to send their children to a private school will have to attend Hanahan High School. Otherwise, if you don’t mind the expense of private school there is Bishop England High School- Grades 9-12. Bishop England High school moved to Daniel Island from downtown Charleston in 1998. Bishop England High School is now the largest private high school in the state of South Carolina which is conveniently located across from Etiwan Park.
