Johns Island South Carolina Today

Johns Island located due west of the Charleston peninsula has two claims to fame. The first is the tomatoes and the second is the beloved Angel Oak.

The island has always provided the Lowcountry with the best local fruits & vegetables and is actually the largest tomato producer in the country. There’s nothing quite like a Johns Island tomato sandwich on a hot summer day. Many varieties of tomatoes are cultivated here as well as blueberries, melons, okra, pumpkins, cucumbers, strawberries, collard greens and just about anything that grows in a hot humid climate. Vegetable stands and flower stands are plentiful.

The Angel Oak is considered to be the largest living oak tree east of the Mississippi River. It’s beauty draws Charleston area visitors and locals alike to a quiet park setting with some of the best shade around. Its branches provide more than 17000 square feet of shade as a matter of fact. The tree is more than 65 feet tall with a circumference of 25.5 feet. At more than 1400 years old, the Angel Oak has provided much pleasure and is truly a Charleston treasure.

For the buyer Johns Island offers two completely different settings from which to choose. There are a few subdivisions that popped up during the 1980’s, but most of the subdivisions have developed just over that last few years. Both bridges that access the island have been replaced, making the commute into town much easier and the island of great interest to developers. However, with so much of the land still being actively worked by farmers, one can find a gracious home on a large piece of property with nice neighbors who aren’t so close by. If you are looking for a country lifestyle in close proximity to the city, Johns Island may be a good choice for you.
