Hanahan SC Lifestyle

Offering all of the benefits of living in both a major metropolitan area as well as a resort area.

Hanahan snuggles right up to North Charleston and is a stone’s throw from the Charleston International Airport as well as Charleston Air Force Base.

To its east is the old Naval Weapons Station, which was once a submarine base and still federally owned. The base still houses the Naval Consolidated Brig and the Navy’s Nuclear Power School as part of what is now Joint Base Charleston, the result of its merger with Charleston Air Force Base.

The Port of Charleston does business with many of its major warehouses and CSX transportation has a main north-south track running through Hanahan. Like much of the area, Hanahan’s history revolved around agriculture with plantations that produced cotton, indigo, and rice. Visitors or residents with a flare for colonial history will be drawn to Otranto Plantation established around 1778 with its beautiful gable roofed stucco brick main house with a colonnaded piazza.

The job market in and around Hanahan is steady with opportunities with Joint Base Charleston, the FedEx distribution center, and the Boeing aircraft assembly plant. Home prices and developments reflect the higher income of the residents, and many beautiful estate and waterfront homes can be found in the city. There is a home for everyone in Hanahan. Whether you seek an elegant luxury home, fixer-upper, a sleek condo, or new construction, Hanahan offers a home for you.
