The city of Goose Creek located in the southern end of Berkeley County, South Carolina was established in 1961 has a population of just over 30,000. Its history dates back many centuries. In early colonial times the term "Goose Creek men" was used for a group of colonists, mostly settled a few miles west of Charleston near a stream called Goose Creek. The Goose Creek men became leaders of the early Indian trade, and by the 1690s many held important offices in the colonial government. The City has achieved a balance between growth, the environment and the preservation of the small town character. Residents live, work and raise their families surrounded by the rich historic and natural treasures of the low country. Goose Creek real estate is ideal for people who want to live near Charleston but want to avoid the high housing prices associated with living in Charleston County. Residents of Goose Creek are about a 30 minute drive from downtown Charleston and about 45 minutes from Folly Beach. Travel to fishing and hunting opportunities in Berkeley County are, likewise, only thirty minutes away. Because it is further inland, house prices in Goose Creek are much more affordable than most areas around Charleston.
Local subdivisions include, but are not limited to Boulder Bluff, Liberty Hall Plantation, Sedgefield, Forest Lawn, Devon Forest, Cokers Crossing, Foxborough, Briarwood, St. James Estates, Crowfield Plantation, Willowbrook, and Breamoor.
Goose Creek is home to the U. S. Naval Weapons Station.
