James Island offers options for every lifestyle:

• Riverland Terrace – One of the island’s oldest and most beloved neighborhoods, it features a majestic avenue of century‑old live oaks and historic homes. Residents enjoy a public boat landing on Wappoo Creek, a playground, restaurants, and antique shops clustered around Terrace Plaza.
• Stiles Point – This family‑friendly neighborhood is prized for its excellent schools, spacious parks, and quick commute to downtown. Many homes offer harbor or marsh views and easy access to tennis courts and ball fields.
• Harbor Woods – Centrally located and within walking distance of several schools, Harbor Woods features homes from the 1970s and ’80s that have been tastefully updated. The neighborhood is popular with families who enjoy boating, shrimping, and fishing; public boat landings and seafood eateries line Folly Road.
• Eastwood & Country Club Estates II – Upscale communities on the harbor with large lots, landscaped yards and homes ranging from mid‑century to new construction. Melton Peter Demetre Park, with its fishing pier, kayak dock, and sandy riverfront beaches, is a short walk away.
• Seaside Plantation – An upscale, newer development with marsh views, miles of walking trails, ponds, and a large community dock and boat ramp. It offers a mix of townhomes and single‑family homes, many with views toward the Morris Island Lighthouse.
• White Point Estates – A small, tight‑knit community just minutes from downtown via the James Island Connector. Ranch‑style homes from the 1980s and ’90s sit on mature, tree‑lined lots, and many properties enjoy spectacular harbor views.
• Harbor View & Stiles Point Plantation – Perched along the harbor and marsh, these subdivisions offer tennis courts, private recreation areas, and ball fields. Residents love the quiet streets, expansive views, and proximity to downtown.

James Island shares Charleston’s humid subtropical climate: mild winters and hot, humid summers. The area enjoys about 209 days of sunshine per year. To avoid the heat and humidity, schedule your move in spring or fall. Hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30, and the Lowcountry’s low elevation (around 19 ft) makes it vulnerable to flooding. We move year‑round—just keep an eye on weather forecasts during storm season. Like you, weather doesn’t stop us; we’re flexible and understanding. We’re not fair‑weather movers!

We offer complete moving services, including local and long-distance moves, expert packing and unpacking, labor-only loading and unloading, furniture assembly and disassembly, junk removal, recycling and donation, plus secure storage coordination. Our skilled crews are experienced in handling specialty items such as pianos, antiques, and office equipment with care.

We often help customers move items to and from storage units, though we don’t operate our own facilities. If you need storage, our team can recommend trusted climate-controlled providers and manage the pickup and delivery of your belongings for you.

Tipping is appreciated but never required! A general guideline is 15–20% of your total moving cost, or for smaller local moves, $10–$20 per mover. Ultimately, it’s up to you—base your tip on the level of service you receive. Our crews are always thankful for the recognition!
