On the shores of Lake Moultrie, Moncks Corner was originally a major settlement of French Protestant Huguenots who were escaping persecution in Europe. A 45-minute drive from Charleston, Moncks Corner is actually 37 miles north of the larger city, allowing for easy commutes to and from work. A railroad that runs through the town center, provides residents of a Moncks Corner house or apartment for rent with faster connections to Charleston and offers fantastic views of the lake while in transit. Berkeley County Airport is situated on the outskirts of the town. As a quaint suburban neighborhood of 6,000 people, Moncks Corner serves as the rural getaway for many city families who work in Charleston but enjoy unwinding in the countryside without having to venture too far.
Affectionately referred to as the “Capital of Santee Cooper Country,” horseback riding, hiking, water sports, boating, and superb freshwater fishing are popular recreational activities in addition to the normal sports programs offered by the recreation department. Most residents of an apartment or home rental in Moncks Corner become actively involved with at least one key activity. Other places of interest that serve as local landmarks include Cypress Gardens, Mepkin Abbey, and Mepkin Abbey Botanical Gardens. Berkeley Country Club is also situated in Moncks Corner. Students in grades K-12 are served well with 5 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and a high school. Most of the campuses are within walking distance from most homes.
