Due to the location of the gated Palmetto Pointe, residents are less than 15 minutes away from downtown Charleston and all of its amenities. Other community amenities include a swimming pool, a fitness center, three deep-water docks, crabbing docks, private boatlifts and trails on a private 8-acre island. The surrounding area is also crisscrossed by creeks, rivers and deepwater channels for boaters to explore.
