Flood zones in Grand Oaks
Homes sold in the past 12 months, by FEMA flood zone
None of the 62 homes sold here in the past 12 months sit in a high risk flood zone on FEMA’s current map, so most lenders do not require flood insurance. 58 sit in the minimal risk zone and 4 in the moderate risk zone. A zone describes the land, not the house, and flood insurance is still available and worth pricing.
Have a home in Grand Oaks in mind. Text me the address at 843-718-6338 and I will pull its flood zone and the elevation certificate if one exists, and connect you with a licensed insurance agent for a flood quote.

What to know before you buy in Grand Oaks
Homes from the 2000s
Most homes sold here in the past year were built in the 2000s, so the age of the roof, the HVAC system and the water heater varies a lot from home to home. 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.
Dues and rules
Most homes sold here were marked with an HOA fee in the MLS. I confirm the dues, what they cover and the rules for every home before you make an offer.
Living in Grand Oaks
Schools
Most homes sold here were listed in the MLS for Drayton Hall Elementary and West Ashley High School. Assignments follow exact addresses and can change, so I verify them for every home with the district before you buy.
Getting around
Neighborhoods outside 526 are a longer drive to downtown Charleston and MUSC than those inside 526, so I have buyers drive the commute at rush hour before they commit.
