Charleston is More than Just a Pretty Face!


Looking for a home in Charleston, SC?
Well Charleston is more than just a pretty face!

The city of Charleston is just less than one hundred square miles, but its influence is far-reaching. And when asked, those who live in the Tri-counties of Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester usually tell people they live in “Charleston” even though they may hail from Mt Pleasant, Summerville, James Island or Daniel Island.

Also known as the Holy City because of its many churches, some of them dating back to the 17th-Century, and affectionately called Chucktown by those less pious residents, even if you’ve only visited once or twice, you probably know that Charleston can grab you like no other place you’ve ever visited.

Did you know that Charleston boasts a natural harbor, clean rivers and beautiful barrier islands with miles of pristine beaches? It is bordered by the Ashley and Cooper rivers, and Charleston offers residents and travelers a view of stately colonial homes and historic buildings, European-style gardens, cobblestone streets, and a few of America’s oldest museums, so it’s no wonder that you’re thinking you want to settle down here for good!

But Charleston’s not stuck in its past. With 600,000+ residents, the metro area offers world-class opportunities with a growing economy and businesses that are gaining strength. A few of them include:

• The Medical University of SC
• The US Navy
• The Boeing Company
• The Charleston County School District
• The US Air Force

And many small businesses that are realizing their dreams and appreciating the lower cost of living that Charleston offers.

So if Charleston has tugged on your heartstrings, let me help you take a serious look and find the perfect home. Chances are that you’ll be very glad that you do.
