Hugging the shores of the Wando River you'll find one of the best places to live in Charleston, SC that captures the essence of spaciousness and grandeur. Majestic live oaks trees cascading with spanish moss decorate the pathways through out the Dunes West neighborhood, leading to deep water homes on the Wando River connecting with the Charleston Harbor.

"I enjoy our community and love the amenities. My biggest complaint is the management group for the HOA. They doesn't enforce the covenants and don't care if homeowners have complaints. The HOA management group treats homeowners as an inconvenience. "
