Moncks Corner is approximately 35 miles from Charleston, 17 miles from Summerville and 16 miles from Goose Creek, making it desirable for those who wish to enjoy the areas and commute to work. The town is on Lake Moultrie and the Cooper River, which connects the Charleston Harbor. Lake Moultrie has over 60,000 acres of water for boating and fishing.

The waters are famous for their world class fishing. Also adjacent to Moncks Corner is the Francis Marion National Forest with nearly 250,000 acres for hunting, fishing, hiking, camping and picnicking. These lands are where General Francis Marion - "the Swamp Fox" - came to fame as a hero of the Revolutionary War.

Although the pace is still blessed by an absence of the extreme hustle and bustle of heavy urban areas, there is still a wide variety of housing available to those wishing to locate here. The gamut runs from budget housing in the 40's to country estates with acreage and lovely homes in spacious tree shaded subdivisions with access to the river or lake. If you wish an historic home there are still a few available for those who enjoy the romance of the past. Vacation villas with tennis, pool and a deep water marina are also there for your enjoyment."
