Located in Berkeley County
The small city of Hanahan offers a quiet, suburban lifestyle with a robust recreation scene. This community is close to major regional employers and lively commercial areas in North Charleston and offers competitive home prices compared to nearby Charleston.
“Hanahan’s kind of split into two areas, there’s the old Hanahan and the new Hanahan,” says Realtor Jeff Bowers of Re/Max Southern Shores, who has over 40 years of real estate experience. “They’re separated by a body of water, but both areas are popular and tend to sell well.” He adds that, broadly speaking, the half to the north/northeast of Goose Creek and Goose Creek Reservoir is newer.
Neighborhoods like Heron Preserve and Tanner Plantation are filled with Colonial Revivals, New Traditionals and Charleston single-inspired homes built between the early 2000s and 2020s. Older neighborhoods, including Belvedere Heights and Avalon in the Pines, feature cottages and ranch-style homes. Townhomes and condos are also available.
The median sale price is $425,000. That’s much lower than Charleston’s median of just over $577,000, but higher than North Charleston’s median of $335,000.
The city maintains nearly 20 parks and recreational facilities, including the Hanahan Amphitheater, which hosts annual Valentine’s dances and Halloween trunk-or-treat events. It also hosts the annual Red, White & Blue Fall Festival, with live music, jump castles, craft vendors and food trucks. The amphitheater is part of the sprawling Hanahan Recreation Complex, which has sports fields, a senior center, a boat launch, paved trails and more.
Other highlights of the recreation scene include:
Bowers says residents head into North Charleston for shopping and dining. The neighboring city’s Northwoods Mall has Burlington, Belk, Dillard’s and JCPenney. It’s in a busy area just west of Hanahan, between Interstate 26 and U.S. Route 78, close to home improvement and big box stores, car dealerships and chain restaurants. North Charleston’s Park Circle is a trendy, Main Street-type district just south of Hanahan. “Park Circle is very popular,” Bowers says. “There are parks, lots of restaurants – it’s very eclectic.” LoLA is a favorite for Louisiana-inspired Southern food; Jackrabbit Filly does modern Chinese-American fusion; Fratello’s serves seasonal Italian dishes.
Bowers says most residents commute for work, often to places like Joint Base Charleston and Boeing, both of which are near the Charleston International Airport, or to other big employers in downtown Charleston. “It takes about 15 minutes to get [to the airport area] outside of rush hour,” Bowers says. “That’s one of the reasons Hanahan is so popular – you don’t have to sit in traffic that long, since you’re already close.” He says commuting downtown takes roughly 20 minutes without traffic. The Medical District, home to the Medical University of South Carolina and other top health care industry employers, is within 20 miles of most homes, a straight shot south on Interstate 26.
The highly rated Berkeley County School District serves Hanahan. Military families with current active-duty orders to Joint Base Charleston can choose for their kids to attend the two highly rated schools on base: Marrington Elementary School and Marrington Middle School of the Arts.
