Should I move from Johns Island to Charleston when I downsize?

Staying on Johns Island when you downsize keeps you close to the same doctors, routines, and community you already know, which matters more to many longtime residents than moving away just to find a smaller home. The tradeoff is that Johns Island's available downsizing inventory at any given time may be more limited than in greater Charleston.
