Flood zones on Daniel Island

Homes sold in the past 12 months, by FEMA flood zone

181 of the 311 homes sold here in the past 12 months sit in a high risk flood zone on FEMA’s current map, where federally backed mortgages require flood insurance. Another 118 sit in the moderate risk zone and 12 in the minimal risk zone. A zone describes the land, not the house, so the elevation of each home still drives what insurance costs.

Have a home on Daniel Island 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 on Daniel Island

Berkeley County

Daniel Island is in the City of Charleston but in Berkeley County, which sets property taxes and the public school district. Many buyers expect Charleston County, so I confirm both for every home.

Association fees

Homes are part of the island’s property owners association, and many neighborhoods, condo buildings and the Daniel Island Club add their own fees. I gather the full list of dues for every home before you make an offer.

Moving fast

With half of all homes selling within two weeks, the best homes often have more than one buyer. I help you get approved, know your number and write a clean, strong offer before you start touring.

Living on Daniel Island

Town center and parks

The town center has restaurants, coffee and shops within walking distance of many homes, and parks and trails line the rivers. Credit One Stadium hosts pro tennis and concerts.
