What to know before you buy in Whitney Lake

Dues

Many Johns Island neighborhoods have an association with dues. I confirm the dues and rules for every home before you make an offer.

City or county

Parts of Johns Island are in the City of Charleston and much of it is unincorporated Charleston County. Which one a home sits in affects taxes, trash and what you can build, so I confirm it for every home before you make an offer.

Flood zones

Marsh and creek front streets on Johns Island can sit in flood zones while homes nearby do not. I pull the flood zone and elevation certificate for every home, and connect buyers with a licensed insurance agent for a quote.

Living in Whitney Lake

Day to day

The Angel Oak, farm stands, marsh and creeks are all on Johns Island, with Kiawah, Seabrook and Folly Beach close by.

Getting around

Maybank Highway and River Road are the main routes toward James Island and downtown Charleston, and rush hour traffic on them is the biggest complaint I hear. I have buyers drive the commute before they commit.
