Lady's Island SC and Available Real Estate 

As any Beaufort SC local will tell you it is "Lady's Island" not "Ladies Island", and any islander will be quick to correct you. Lady's Island is just over the bridge from downtown Beaufort, across the Beaufort River, with arguably the best view of the historic city and its beautiful waterfront park. Nestled on Factory Creek just off the Intracoastal Waterway, Lady's Island is truly special

Factory Creek got its name from the old oyster factory which stood on its banks for many years. Oystermen would row out in their wooden bateaux with the outgoing tide to collect oyster at low tide and bring them back to the factory with the incoming tide. Their many years of work were evidenced by the mountain of oyster shell piled on the banks. Today the old factory is gone and the mountain of oyster shells, replaced by beautiful homes along Sunset Blvd and Factory Creek.

Lady's Island today is mostly residential, with a few businesses to support the community. Two grocery stores, a couple of pharmacies, and a large hardware store are about the only large businesses on the island. Smaller business is the mainstay for Lady's Island. This is of course is by design, as to keep the big box stores on the other side of town. And there is an airport, Frogmore "International" Airport, so named for a small community on the next island St. Helena Island.

 

Neighborhoods on Lady's Island range from plan developments of waterfront and golf communities to rural homes with little to no restrictions. Most waterfront communities feature beautiful waterfront homes, community docks, and some with community boat landings.
Royal Pines is now the sole golf community on Lady's Island but it does have two courses.

Lady's Island has the advantage of being away from town yet close, with the city of Beaufort just over the "downtown" bridge, and the city of Port Royal, just over the "new" bridge. On the other side of Lady's Island leads to the beaches with Hunting Island State Park, Harbor Island and Fripp Island, all on the Atlantic Ocean.
