About Lake

Frances

Lake Frances, located between Ashley River Road and Savannah Highway, is a residential and wooded Charleston neighborhood with a lakefront setting and winding, tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lake Frances Drive loop, where docks, birdlife, and quiet water views set the daily rhythm. Nearby pillars include the Charleston Tea Garden, Drayton Hall, and the West Ashley Greenway, each shaping local culture through Lowcountry landscape and history. Homes lean toward mid-century and late-20th-century forms with generous lots and mature canopy. The geography reads as marsh-to-woodland, with water and shade defining the streetscape.
