The beautiful city of North Charleston is the third largest city in South Carolina. It is a mature, gracious city, the balmy sub-tropical climate and coastal lifestyle adds to the quiet, low-bustle ambiance. No wonder that it is a popular destination for visitors and those looking to relocate to the south. North Charleston real estate consists of sprawling colonial homes and bungalows plus plush condos. New home communities are also popular and are being developed, contributing to the North Charleston real estate, while not conflicting with the quiet charm of the city.

- Great place to raise a family!

Charleston is a relatively small and very friendly Southern city. Many good private and public schools. Many home buyers looking for new schools move to Mt. Plesant. Other areas of Charleston also offer great schools such as the Charleston School of Arts in North Charleston. Local college options would be the College of Charleston in historic downtown Charleston and MUSC - Medical University of South Carolina.

Charleston Beaches.....

Charleston offers a great selection of beaches, such as, Sullivans Island, Isle of Palms, Folly Beach, Kiawah Island, and Seabrook Island.

Excellent year-around weather....

Charleston enjoys a semitropical climate with four seasons! Summers are warm and humid and winters are short and mild. Spring & fall are my favorite seasons with low-humidity and temps in the low 70s.

Real estate prices are low for all you get....

Even during the top of the market boom, sales prices have never greatly exceeded the actual home values. The home values have adjusted down approx. 20%. Single family homes start in the mid $100,000, condos, and town homes.

Stable and growing economy....

Charleston's economy is created from many privately owned businesses and some new large corporations. Boeing Commercial Aircraft is now building a new 787 plant which will be completed in 2011. The Boeing plant is expecting to hire 3,700 new employees. This should bring in additional Boeing subcontractors.

Charleston is a culinary and art destination.....

Charleston is well-known for it's many great restaurants offering Lowcountry cuisine. Historic downtown boasts many art galleries, antiques, and museums.

City of history....

From the battery, Fort Multrie, Fort Sumter, and the many plantations around the city.

Boating....

If you do not have a boat you make sure a friend has one! Boating and fishing/shrimping are two activities that draw so many to live in the southeast coast. Charleston is a boating city with many rivers, creeks, and of course the harbor and Atlantic. Come visit soon!
