The Ashley which is where the name of “West Ashley” comes from because that part of Charleston is west of the Ashley river. Waterfront Homes in West Ashley like most of Charleston’s waterfront are hard to come by and do not come cheap, but are more affordable than the other areas usually because they include not only West Ashley, but North Charleston waterfront homes, and Summerville both of which are further from the city and beaches. Search waterfront homes under $500,000.

The Cooper : The Cooper River the largest of the four is where “East Cooper” the nickname for Mt Pleasant is derived from just like West Ashley. Homes east of the Cooper are usually more expensive than their counter parts in Charleston simply because they include Mount Pleasant and Daniel Island property the two most expensive suburban towns of Charleston county. Aside from downtown Charleston homes, riverfront homes in Mt Pleasant and riverfront homes in Daniel Island will be the most pricey.  The Cooper River can take you all the way to two of famous large lakes in SC (Lake Marion & Lake Moultrie) where lakefront homes can be very appealing because these two freshwater lakes are substantial in size. However, they are about an hour drive time from Charleston by car. 

The Wando also includes riverfront properties in both Daniel Island and Mount Pleasant and is one of the favorite rivers of the area due to its sheer size and convenience to everything.

The Stono The Stono river is the one that is most closely related with John’s Island, Kiawah Island waterfront homes, and Seabrook as it is the river that provides most of the waterfront homes in that area their access to the ocean. As a whole it is a little less busy with traffic than the other three rivers simply because more people live and work around the other three.
