West Ashley is one of the six distinct areas of the city proper of Charleston South Carolina. West Ashley derives its name from the simple fact that it is located west of the Ashley River. The population in 2016 was estimated at 75,144. By comparison, in January 2018, the population of Charleston-North Charleston was reported as 744,526.

Two major highways were built to alleviate heavy traffic on Historic SC 61 and the area of West Ashly saw explosive residential and commercial growth. Major retailers were locating or relocating to West Ashley since space in the historic downtown Charleston peninsula was not available. 

If you follow country music, you will know that West Ashley is hometown to Darius Rucker, lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish. Stephen Colbert of The Late Show is also a graduate of Porter-Gaud School in West Ashley.

West Ashley is not a self-governed city or town due to the majority of the area being located within the city limits of Charleston SC. There are still a few sections that remain in the unincorporated Charleston County.

West Ashley has over 90 neighborhoods and 15 major shopping centers. The commerce areas are grouped along the main corridors through West Ashely being I-526, SC 7 and SC17. Pro for commuters is that West Ashley is close to Charleston and North Charleston with a major highway providing a straight-line driving experience.

 If you are in an area below 20 minutes your commute becomes bikeable on nice days.

Below are some homes that are currently available for sale.
