THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

Charleston has the best of both worlds: the old and the new. In the Tri-County area, which consists of Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties, miles of unspoiled coastline, salt marsh estuaries and pristine river systems provide an unparalleled natural backdrop for stately historic buildings and plantation homes. Find many picturesque, established neighborhoods with peaceful streets and top-rated schools, along with highly sought-after communities that offer amenities such as walking trails, play parks, dog parks, clubhouses, pavilions, fire pits, neighborhood pools and more.

Accordingly, real estate choices are seemingly endless when it comes to the type of abode you can choose. Select a stunning "French Quarter" penthouse overlooking the Charleston Harbor, an English cottage along the Intracoastal Waterways, a luxury condominium located South of Broad, an island home with views of the ocean to the horizon or a beautifully crafted Charleston single-style home located in an amenity-rich, family-friendly community. Homes that overlook winding tidal creeks and perfectly manicured golf courses, or elevated beach homes and entrancing cottages along with the beautiful barrier islands. Charleston homes feature elegance, quality, craftsmanship, and heritage. Convenient within proximity to shopping, dining, and the interstate.

CHARLESTON'S WINTERS RARELY
DROP BELOW FREEZING

If warmer weather is what you prefer, Charleston's winters rarely drop below freezing, with an average high in the '50s. Summers are hot and humid, but with the city's proximity to water, there are endless ways to cool off and enjoy the muggier months. For the outdoor enthusiast, you have your choice of fishing, boating, kayaking, swimming, surfing, biking, or hiking. If history is your favorite subject, Charleston has plenty to teach with its nearly 350 years and 97 properties on the National Register of Historic Places from historic buildings to where the Civil War began, Fort Sumter. If your right brain needs a creative boost, this culturally rich city has theater choices, a professional ballet and symphony orchestra, museums, galleries, and local art shops. Or, hey, why not feed your inner food lover with some of the best seafood and Southern food around? Enjoy a deliciously refreshing drink overlooking the city at any one of Charleston's numerous rooftop bars? And, of course, you can always soothe your inner shopaholic by visiting Charleston's stylish retail sectors, specialty shops, and boutiques, where you can fill up your shopping bags with unique finds, antiques, art and the latest fashion trends. With its beautiful weather year-round (not to mention the irresistible beaches, nature-inspired activities, history, art scene, award-winning restaurants, and shopping), what's not to love about Charleston?

ANOTHER REASON TO PLANT ROOTS

But if you need yet another reason to plant roots in this storied city, consider that Southern hospitality exists in spades here. Charlestonians tend to smile at strangers on the street cheerily and are known for making visitors feel right at home with their gracious charm. It's this natural affability that earned Charleston the titles of Friendliest and Most Mannerly City, according to Conde Nast Traveler and, according to Southern Living Magazine, "the most polite and hospitable city in America." Whether it's welcoming you into their homes for a glass of sweet tea, treating you like family, or offering you directions if, on some old back road, Charlestonians' kindness and pleasantries are second-to-none, even as the city grows, Southern hospitality lives on. Move here, and it won't be long before you say, "Welcome y'all!"
