Avondale, West Ashley
Avondale Homes for Sale and Neighborhood Guide
By Blake Heron, Realtor, Heron Homes CHS with eXp Realty.
Avondale sits inside 526 in West Ashley, just over the Ashley River from downtown Charleston. Its streets of 1940s and 1950s homes are a short walk from Avondale Point on Savannah Highway, with local restaurants, coffee and bars.
Blake's read on the market. Avondale is small and steady. There were 20 sales in the past year, almost all single family homes, at a median of $820K, above the $620K median for single family homes across West Ashley inside 526. Homes sold for a median 97.6% of list price after 30 days. Riverdale Drive had the top sale at $1.85M.

What to know before you buy in Avondale
Older homes
Most homes were built in the 1940s and 1950s, so updates, foundations and roofs matter as much as price. I help you sort out what a home needs before you make an offer.
Flood and insurance
Some West Ashley streets near creeks and marsh sit in a flood zone and some do not, and two homes a block apart can have very different insurance costs. I pull the flood zone and an insurance quote for every home before you make an offer.
Schools
West Ashley is served by the Charleston County School District. Assignments follow exact addresses and can change, so I verify the schools for every home with the district before you buy.
Living in Avondale
Day to day
Avondale Point on Savannah Highway has some of West Ashley’s favorite local restaurants, coffee and bars, within walking distance of many homes.
