Welcome to Charleston
|
 |
| Imagine a place with more than three centuries of history, where cobblestone streets and alleyways traverse colonial-era neighborhoods and 18th-century church steeples rise to the heavens. Here in the Lowcountry, the past has been preserved through restored Victorian homes, historic sites and public parks. It’s no wonder that the Charleston metro area is one of the fastest-growing areas of the country. Beyond its history, Charleston is known as a center for the arts, as the site of numerous art galleries and the annual Spoleto Arts Festival, which brings theater, visual arts, music and dance to performance sites throughout downtown Charleston. The region’s mild climate has been especially attractive to retirees. Although summers get to be rather humid, spring, fall and winter tend to be more temperate, bringing newcomers from the North. The Lowcountry is also home to some of the finest beaches along the East Coast, which offer posh oceanfront property and resort amenities. The barrier islands of Folly Beach, Isle of Palms, Sullivan’s Island, Kiawah Island and Seabrook Island provide a relaxing escape from city life. Beyond the oceanfront property, the region offers a variety of real estate options, from older established neighborhoods to new developments in the more suburban areas of Summerville and Daniel Island. Whether you’re looking for an urban loft in Charleston, a sprawling estate on Johns Island or a vacation home in Isle of Palms, the Lowcountry welcomes you home. |
