Daniel Island is one of the newer developments in the Charleston area. This 
island became populated only after Highway 526 was completed several years ago. Prior to the completion of Highway 526, accessibility to Daniel Island from the Charleston area was extremely convenient as you had to drive well inland to reach back roads that would take you to the island making the trip from Charleston well over an hour.
Today, from Daniel Island you can get to downtown and approximately 15 minutes and you can reach the Mount Pleasant area and approximately 5 minutes or the Hanahan area in about 10 minutes. Daniel Islandis the host to the internationally known Family Circle Cup Tennis Tournament which happens each spring. It is also home to the local professional soccer team that play at the Blackbaud Stadium located on Daniel Island adjacent to the Blackbaud corporate headquarters. Home prices on Daniel Island are among the highest in the Charleston region. This is an exceptionally well designed community with its own downtown area, numerous parks, exceptional restaurants and beautiful views. 
Daniel Island was annexed into the city of Charleston yet is also part of Berkeley County. Bishop England High School, and exceptional private school with a long history in the Charleston area, was relocated to Daniel Island from downtown Charleston and continues a stellar tradition in its new location. Daniel Island has many on-site events during the year including
the Daniel Island Parks Day where all seven Daniel Island Parks are open for Charleston area residents to enjoy.
