Downtown Charleston is a truly unique one of a kind city.
Charleston is located on a peninsula of land between the Ashley and
Cooper Rivers. The housing market in downtown Charleston offers a
diverse selection to the buyer. Old Charleston homes and
neighborhoods are charming, with wrought iron gates, courtyard gardens
and live oak and palm lined streets. Horse drawn carriages often
pass by the grand homes, offices, shops, and famous restaurants.
Apartments inside renovated buildings and condominiums are also housing
options in Historic Charleston. Shopping and endless dining
options can be found along King Street, East Bay Street and Meeting
Street. The waterfront park runs along the west side of the
Charleston Harbor, just off East Bay Street. This park includes a
400 foot pier, swinging benches, fountains, and beautiful
gardens.
Charleston has again been honored as one of the “Top Cities in
the United State & Canada” according to Travel + Leisure
magazine’s tenth annual world’s Best Poll, featured in the
August 2007 issue. It doesn't matter whether you're looking for a
quaint bed and breakfast for a romantic weekend or a tour of historic
Charleston with the family, downtown Charleston has it all. Maybe
you'd like to take a ghost tour of one of the many haunted houses in
the area or go shopping for antiques on King St. There are a whole host
of opportunities for any kind of vacation.
Historic Charleston is located on the southern coast of South Carolina.
Its rich history began in the 1600's as an early English settlement.
Over the next few centuries, Charleston became one of the most
important cities on the east coast, playing a major role in the Civil
War as one of the South's main ports.
Luckily, Charleston was the first city in the U.S. to pass a historical
preservation ordinance, so all of the beautiful colonial architecture
remains for generations to see and enjoy. If it's American history you
seek, Charleston is a must see.
Charleston is also famous for its world class dining. Charleston
is located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, so obviously the
emphasis on dining is seafood. Fresh tuna, grouper, and mahi-mahi are
plentiful in most restaurants along with crab, shrimp and other
shellfish. Specialties include oyster stew, she-crab soup, and shrimp
and grits. The possibilities are endless to find the perfect dining
experience.
But Charleston is still in the south so you'll find all of the
specialties that come to mind when you think about southern cooking.
From barbeque and greens to fried chicken and mashed potatoes, you'll
find all the lowcountry comfort food you can eat.
