Daniel Island, SC Apartments for Rent
Tucked between the Cooper and Wando Rivers, Daniel Island feels like a small coastal town that just happens to sit within Charleston’s city limits. Locals ride bikes to dinner, chat with neighbors at weekly farmers markets, and pause along the Wando’s edge to catch golden-hour views. With tree-lined streets, pocket parks in nearly every neighborhood, and the water always nearby, life moves at an easy, intentional pace here.
Walkability is a huge part of daily life. Sidewalks connect you to the island’s cafes, schools, playgrounds, and greenways, while scenic trails wind through marshes and under moss-draped oaks. Downtown Daniel Island offers an easy mix of shops, restaurants, and gathering spots, while larger conveniences are just across the bridge. Apartment communities here range from sleek riverfront flats to cozy, village-style residences nestled near the center of town.
The island hosts regular outdoor movie nights, concerts, and food truck festivals, often in Smythe Park or near Waterfront Park’s swings and pavilion. The area is also home to Credit One Stadium, which brings in world-class tennis and live shows year-round. Built on land once used for cattle ranching and outdoor retreats, Daniel Island is now a thoughtfully planned neighborhood with a strong sense of community and plenty of room to breathe.
