Ladson, SC

Ladson is a census-designated place spread across Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties in the Charleston metro area. It is not a formal town so much as a suburban and semi-industrial community along the region's inland growth corridors. The everyday shape is roads, subdivisions, schools, warehouses, churches, and quick access to Summerville, North Charleston, and Goose Creek. Ladson feels practical and fast-changing, a place where Charleston-area expansion has moved inland and turned older crossroads into a busy residential job-market pocket.
