 CHARLESTON:
The city of Charleston, itself,
especially the peninsula portion, is
a smorgasbord of extremes- from
high-rise condominiums built in the
more recent years to small mansions
built anytime in the last 250 years.
Low-income housing developments can
be found in the northern section of
the city, while some of the homes in
the historic section could empty the
wallet of the richest man. But by no
means has the middle income
individual been left out. Many
smaller homes can be found downtown.
As a matter of fact, these are the
homes that add up to form a large
majority of the downtown market.
These homes, fronted on cobblestone
streets or cozy alleys are far away
from the noise and congestion of an
average city's downtown section.
Charleston's schools are plentiful.
Private, church-related or public,
they are all in downtown Charleston
and most are an easy walk away. For
recreation, there are tennis courts,
playgrounds, basketball courts,
baseball and football fields. A very
active Parks and Recreation
Commission organizes all kinds of
sports and tournaments. Two of the
area Yacht Clubs and two marinas can
also be found in the area. The
oldest theater in the country is
here. Charleston also has its own
ballet and symphony, art museums and
libraries. And of course, each year
the city puts on the most
comprehensive arts festival in the
United States: Spoleto.
WEST ASHLEY:
West of the Peninsular City and
across the Ashley River, locally
referred to as West Ashley, is
primarily a residential area, but
also offers a complete and
competitive range of services. West
Ashley's largest advantage, though,
is its proximity to everything. The
Downtown area, the medical complex,
military installations and industry
are all just a few minutes down the
highway. The Mark Clark expressway
makes the North Charleston and the
Mt. Pleasant areas very convenient
and accessible. Because there are so
many subdivisions in the West Ashley
area, it isn't feasible to tell you
about each one. There is so much and
so little room. Our Agent Owned
sales associate will be glad to show
you the characteristics and
advantages of living in any of the
subdivisions which suit your price
range and needs.
THE WEST
ISLANDS:
James Island,
Folly Beach, John's Island, Kiawah,
Seabrook, and Wadmalaw Island are
the islands west and south of the
City. Recreation abounds here.
Regardless of your age or interest
the Islands can fill your needs. For
those who love the water, there is
fishing from its many creeks and
rivers with catches like fish,
crabs, shrimp and oysters. The James
Island Yacht Club is located on
James Island. Public boat landings
line the Intracoastal Waterway and
other creeks and rivers which flow
throughout the community. These
rivers and creeks provide protected
waters for boaters to enjoy. James
Island has an abundance of
residential communities with a wide
variety of home styles. Folly Beach,
one of the area's four public
beaches, is an incorporated island
community just 30 minutes from
downtown Charleston. Kiawah and
Seabrook Islands offer an exclusive
and private lifestyle behind sand
dunes and underneath the shade of
palm trees. These islands offer some
residential areas, but mostly are
resort properties.
EAST COOPER:
East of Charleston, across the
Cooper River, lies Mt. Pleasant. A
self-contained city of about 35,000,
Mt. Pleasant and its surrounding
areas can offer just about anything
to anyone. Just a few miles from
downtown Charleston yet still
distinct, Mt. Pleasant has grown
steadily over the past years. Thomas
Waring, editor of Charleston's News
and Courier, once wrote: "Mt.
Pleasant is so intimate a part of
Charleston, yet so positively
itself. The sentimental heritage of
a community that has something worth
remembering is among its greatest
assets." Crisscrossed by rivers and
marsh, Mt. Pleasant offers
unparalleled salt water fishing and
is also well endowed with many parks
including athletic fields, tennis
courts and playground equipment. The
Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island,
two of Charleston finest beaches are
within a couple of miles of anywhere
in Mt. Pleasant. Mt. Pleasant offers
about 11 schools. A Mayor-Council
form governs the communities of Mt.
Pleasant, Sullivan's Island and Isle
of Palms. Full time police and fire
protections is also provided to the
area. Mt. Pleasant offers a wide
variety of shopping with a multitude
of neighborhood specialty shops and
regional shopping centers with a
number more in the planning stages.
Churches of all denominations are
situated throughout the area or in
nearby Charleston. The East Cooper
area boasts a wide variety of single
family homes, condominiums and
townhomes to suit every price range,
every interest and every family.
NORTH AREA:
On June 12, 1972, North Charleston
became a city with its own Mayor and
Council and is home to a variety of
successful businesses, from the
state's largest industries to the
military installations to the
neighborhood shops. The North area's
proximity to the rapidly expanding
areas to the north and the more
established communities to the south
give it one of the best central
locations around. It's less than a
half hour from almost any location
in the Tri-county metropolitan area.
Just up the road a little is some of
the South's best fresh water fishing
in Lakes Marion and Moultrie. Just
down the road is Charleston Harbor,
opening into the Atlantic for the
best salt water fishing you could
imagine. The 12,000 seat Coliseum in
the heart of North Charleston offers
a wide variety of entertainment from
the Circus to concerts by national
acclaimed entertainers. Excellent
shopping is also found with the two
largest shopping malls sitting right
in the middle of the North Area.
Quite a few other shopping centers
scattered throughout the area add a
generous compliment to the shopping
facilities available to North Area
Residents.
SUMMERVILLE:
Nestled among stately pines,
blithely indifferent to the busy hum
of the surrounding world, lies the
old village of Summerville. To
experience the true flavor of this
charming and once world renowned
health resort, park your car and
walk or bicycle the shady winding
streets. You will soon be eager to
know the history which has fashioned
Summerville's existence. Summerville
has maintained a graceful balance
between the old and the new. Housing
is readily available and ranges from
economy homes, townhouse
condominiums and mobile home parks
to middle class subdivisions,
country club residential
developments and restored country
properties. Multifaceted Summerville
offers something for everyone. Each
spring brings the Flowertown
Festival, a weekend-long arts and
crafts event for the whole family.
History buffs are invited to stroll
the inviting lanes and peer beyond
the picket fences. Car-bound
children will enjoy a romp at nearby
historic Old Dorchester State Park.
Local restaurants, antique and
specialty shops offer tempting
wares. Quaint churches abound in the
area. The Town of Summerville
maintains 2 lighted recreational
fields, 3 parks, and 4 playgrounds
with 6 lighted tennis courts within
the town limits. A full range of
youth recreation leagues and
programs operate year round. In
addition, recreational, cultural and
athletic programs are offered by the
Summerville Family YMCA, church
groups, and other community
organizations.
GOOSE CREEK:
Goose Creek dates back to 1670 when
Englishmen who had prospered from
Barbadian land sales arrived and
developed plantations in the area.
However, it was not until 1950, when
the United States military realized
the potential of the area for the
military, that Goose Creek started
to grow. The water and ocean access
prove attractive for industrial
growth. Alumax, Jim Walter Metals
and other companies in Bushy Park
are excellent sources of employment.
Goose Creek also offers many acres
of underdeveloped land for expansion
plus excellent railroad and highway
networks. Effective environmental
management of these resources makes
Goose Creek a highly desirable
residential community. Goose Creek
is "a little bit of town in a whole
lot of country". For recreation, the
residents of Goose Creek will find
waters for fishing, athletic fields,
golf course, tennis courts, bowling
alleys and of course, swimming
pools.
MONCKS CORNER:
Moncks Corner is approximately 35
miles from Charleston, 17 miles from
Summerville and 16 miles from Goose
Creek, making it desirable for those
who wish to enjoy the areas and
commute to work. The town is on Lake
Moultrie and the Cooper River, which
connects the Charleston Harbor. Lake
Moultrie has over 60,000 acres of
water for boating and fishing. The
waters are famous for their world
class fishing. Also adjacent to
Moncks Corner is the Francis Marion
National Forest with nearly 250,000
acres for hunting, fishing, hiking,
camping and picnicking. These lands
are where General Francis Marion-
"the Swamp Fox"- came to fame as a
hero of the Revolutionary War.
Although the pace is still blessed
by an absence of the extreme hustle
and bustle of heavy urban areas,
there is still a wide variety of
housing available to those wishing
to locate here. The gamut runs from
budget housing in the 40's to
country estates with acreage and
lovely homes in spacious tree shaded
subdivisions with access to the
river or lake. If you wish an
historic home there are still a few
available for those who enjoy the
romance of the past. Vacation villas
with tennis, pool and a deep water
marina are also there for your
enjoyment. |
