Here is some very helpful information & links for my Clients who are relocating to Charleston for the first time:
Whether you come to the Lowcountry, of South Carolina, for the beautiful beaches at Folly Beach or the Isle of Palms or for the shopping, numerous museums, and cobblestone streets of Downtown and the Historic District, there is something for everyone in Charleston. For those who prefer a more suburban life surrounded by creeks, rivers & beautiful marsh vistas; West Ashley, James Island, Johns Island, Mt. Pleasant, or North Charleston might be more your style.
Charleston is blessed with a wealth of historic structures that have been transformed into offices, restaurants, stores, and homes. The City’s successful intermingling of business, home and garden make Charleston a beloved and very walkable urban landscape experience.
