Hanahan is located on the very south end of Berkeley County, and its city limits on the west and south sides are contiguous with the county line between Berkeley and Charleston Counties and a population of just over 14,000. It was incorporated as a city in 1972. Hanahan is bordered on the west and south by the city of North Charleston. To the east is the old Naval Weapons Station. A very small portion of this federal base is actually in Hanahan’s city limits. Among other uses of the former submarine base, the Naval Consolidated Brig is there, as is the Navy’s Nuclear Power School. To the north is an unincorporated portion of Berkeley County. Most areas of Hanahan are located within a 10-15 minute drive of the major shopping areas, including The Northwoods Mall (in North Charleston), in what is known locally as the “North Area.” Also within a short drive are Interstate 26 and Interstate 526, as well as U.S. Highway 52. The public schools in Hanahan are considered to be some of the best in the Tri-County Area (consisting of Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester Counties).
Local subdivisions include, but are not limited to Yemann’s Park, Charleston Farms, Otranto, Belvedere Estates, Beverly Hills, Eagle Landing, Eagle Point, Tanner Plantation, and The Reserve.
As always, your thoughts, questions, or comments are greatly appreciated. Let me know if I can help with any of your Charleston SC real estate needs or questions.
Sincerely,
