Best In South Carolina Real Estate™: Charleston

🏆 Ranked #1 Commute Disparity in South Carolina — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. The Charleston tri-county’s 11.9-minute spread in mean commute time—between Hollywood (34.5 min) and James Island (22.5 min)—is not just a travel metric. It’s a structural indicator of equity. While Hollywood suffers from the longest average commute, James Island benefits from decades of infrastructure investment and job clustering. This gap reflects how access to time, not just housing, shapes opportunity.
