Like the Ansonborough neighborhood once had, Charleston’s Eastside Neighborhood has gradually declined from one of the finest residential areas in anti-bellum Charleston, to a point where tenements and slums have began to predominate.

Westside

Charleston’s Westside neighborhood is predominantly a residential community in transition. There are many renovations and a few new constructions ongoing at all times.

Mazyck-Wraggborough

Charleston’s Mazyck-Wraggborough neighborhood, also known as the “Garden District”, revitalization and restoration are underway. Developed in the 18th century by the antebellum elite who wanted "Villas" outside the Walled City, Mazyck-Wraggborough remains a repository of Museum quality houses. This borough is sought-after by buyers who appreciate fine architecture, but do not want to spend the prices of neighborhoods further south. Mazyck-Wraggborough is convenient for those liking to walk. Shopping on Saturday's at the Farmer's Market is a fun, social outing. For smart shops, award winning chefs, and the latest martini, King Street is just a short stroll away!

The eastern boundary is Eastern boundary is Concord Street to Wharfside Street and the western boundary is the East side of East Bay Street.

Radcliffeborough

Charleston’s Radcliffeborough neighborhood began as farmland purchased and surveyed by Thomas Radcliffe in 1786. Thomas’ estate and his widow, Lucretia continued to develop the borough after Thomas was lost at sea in 1806. In 1811, the Third Episcopal Church was built on four lots donated by Mrs. Radcliffe for this purpose. St. Paul’s convenient local and grand appearance attracted rice planters from the neck to worship alongside homes built by merchants and mechanics, several free black families (from before the Civil War) as well as slaves living apart from their masters and after the war, newly freed slaves.

Today, Radcliffeborough is as racially and economically mixed as it was then but its boundaries have grown from its original eight blocks to span from King Street to Ashley Avenue and from Bee Street, to Calhoun. Its topography has changed as well and would seem incredibly different to Thomas Radcliffe. In his time and even up to 1846, Calhoun Street did not exist. The area that would eventually become Calhoun was a millpond and Comings Creek ran through the land where the Cathedral of St. Paul now stands.

During the past six months Charleston’s Radcliffeborough neighborhood had 8 homes sold at an average price of $512,038. See Charleston SC Real Estate to search for homes.

Radcliffeborough is bounded on the north side by the South side of Morris Street and one block to Bee Street, and on the south side by the North side of Calhoun Street. The eastern boundary is the West side of King Street and the western boundary is the East side of Ashley Avenue.

The name recognizes the high concentration of French merchants in the area's history. It was settled as part of the original Grande Modell of Charles Towne in 1680. It is famous for its art galleries; it also has many restaurants and places of commerce as well as Charleston's Waterfront Park.

Charleston's French Quarter is home to many fine historic buildings, among them, the Pink House Tavern, built around 1712, and the Slave Mart, built by Z.B.Oakes in 1859. Also in the French Quarter are the Dock Street Theatre, arguably the first site of theatrical productions in the United States, and the French Huguenot Church, a beautiful Gothic-style church which houses the sole-surviving French Calvinist Congregation in the United States. St. Philip's Episcopal Church, the first congregation in Charleston, whose current building dates to 1835, is also in the French Quarter. St. Philip's cemetery is the final resting place of Edward Rutledge, the youngest signer of the Declaration of Independence, and U.S. Senator and Vice President John C.

Admiral Anson was by no means a mere gentleman with a title; he was an exceptional sailor by any standard. He was the third Englishman to circumnavigate the globe. On his many voyages he captured Spanish ships filled with treasures. The most celebrated being in the mid-1740's when he abducted a Spanish vessel carrying booty worth a million and a quarter pounds of sterling.

Charleston Lowcounrty Resort Community Information

Charleston Lowcounrty Resort Community Information


Let’s begin by defining a Charleston SC resort community. A resort community, sometimes called a resort city or resort destination, is a town or area where tourism or vacationing is a primary component of the local culture and economy. Typically, the economy of a resort community is geared almost entirely towards catering to tourists. The typical Charleston resort communities has nice beaches, oceanfront luxury homes, shops and luxury boutiques selling locally-themed souvenirs, motels, golf courses, tennis courts, and unique restaurants within their boundaries. I believe there are five resort communities in the greater Charleston SC area I will explore; they are Kiawah Island, Seabrook Island, Folly Beach, Daniel Island, and Wild Dunes.

Kiawah Island

Kiawah (Key-a-wah) Island perpetuates the name of the Kiawah Indian tribe who used the Island for hunting and fishing during the 1600s. In 1675, the Kiawah Indians ceded the Island to the English Lords' Proprietor, Anthony Ashley Cooper, Earl of Shaftsbury. Kiawah Island is approximately 10 miles long and 1 mile wide and the beach is over 300 feet wide at low tide. There approximately 1,300 full time residents. Today Kiawah Island is a private resort and residential community that combines exclusive style with relaxed island living. Picture a place where tradition, tranquility, and respect for nature create an exceptional lifestyle for individuals seeking luxury real estate for a primary residence or vacation home. Located just 30 minutes south of historic Charleston SC, this sun-washed barrier island offers both sophistication and simplicity. Here you can dine in five-star luxury or spread a simple picnic on the beach. There are 20 miles of bike paths. Wildlife abounds on the island. There are five golf courses on the island the Ocean Course, Osprey Course, Turtle Course, and Ocean Course are public golf courses and the River Course is a private course.

During the past six months 17 single family homes listed in MLS sold with the average selling price of $946,235.

Seabrook Island

Seabrook is a private island resort Edged by 3 miles of wide beaches and pristine dunes along the South Carolina coast with a population just over 1,300. Club members and their guests enjoy two championship golf courses, a tennis center, horseback riding, a fitness center and many other amenities. Yet, despite its peaceful seclusion, Seabrook Island is conveniently located less than 30 minutes from all the charms of Charleston, the south's most romantic city.

During the past six months 37 single family homes sold with the average selling price being $595,578.

Folly Beach

Folly Beach has always been a part of coastal South Carolina’s history and charm.

Beachwalker Park on Kiawah Island – One of America’s Top 10 Beaches


Charleston County’s Beachwalker Park is located on the western end of Kiawah Island and is about 30 minutes from downtown Charleston. Tennis and golf are featured here, as well as interpretative tours of the fauna and flora of the island. This is certainly a nature-lovers coast, so visitors should pack their canoes and kayaks to paddle through the tidal inlets or walk down to St. Sam’s Inlet to see thousands of birds. The water is not clear here, but it is clean and provides for fantastic seafood for low-country cooking. Visitors can also pack their bicycles, since the sand is compact enough to ride along the 10-mile long barrier island.

Beachwalker Park (Kiawah Island, SC): Kiawah Island's Beachwalker Park is eighth on the list of Top 10 Beaches produced annually by coastal expert Stephen P. Leatherman, also known as 'Dr. Beach,' director of Florida International University's Laboratory for Coastal Research. Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman, known throughout the United States and internationally as Dr. Beach, is regarded as the country's leading authority on beach quality and ratings. A Ph.D. coastal scientist, professor of environmental studies and Director of the Laboratory for Coastal Research at Florida International University and acclaimed author, Dr. Leatherman is perhaps best known for his annual America's Best Beaches Top 10 List.

Dr. Leatherman's first Top Beach list was issued in 1991. Since then, every year around Memorial Day, beachgoers and beach communities anxiously await his latest list of the ten best public recreational beaches for swimming, walking, scenery, sports, and other activities. Beaches along the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean are objectively evaluated using a rating scale that covers 50 different criteria, ranging from beach width, sand quality, water temperature and strengths of currents to human impact issues such as lifeguards, the presence of litter and undesirable noise.

The list of 2010 top ten beaches includes the same four beaches in the Southeast U.S. as last year's list, two in Florida, one in North Carolina and one in South Carolina: Cape Hatteras moved up three places, from seventh place to fourth place this year. Kiawah Island's Beachwalker Park moved up two places, from tenth to eighth place. Florida's Siesta Beach remained in second place and Cape Florida State Park dipped a few spots from eighth to tenth place.

Here list of the Top 10 Beaches in America:

1. Coopers Beach - Southampton, New York - National Winner
2. Siesta Beach - Sarasota, Florida
3. Coronado Beach - San Diego, California
4. Cape Hatteras - Outer Banks of North Carolina
5. Main Beach - East Hampton, New York
6. Kahanamoku Beach - Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii
7. Coast Guard Beach - Cape Cod, Massachusetts

How Green is Your Attic?

How Green is Your Attic?


According to the Department of energy 44% of an average household’s energy dollars is for heating and air conditioning. For a relatively modest investment in insulation materials and labor, a consumer can lower those costs on an ongoing basis and generate a rapid payback.
Though insulating a home is green in itself, some alternatives are greener than others. Some use recycled materials while others use new technology, while others use older products made in a more earth friendly way.

5 Green Insulation Options

1. Cotton insulation is made from recycled scrap generated during denim manufacturing. It is flame resistant and is about twice as costly as fiberglass with about the same R-factor.

2. Mineral wool insulation is made from steel slag or natural rock that is manufactured into a flame resistant fiber. It contains over 75% recycled materials. It is moisture resistant and holds its R-value when wet. It can be used in below grade applications.

3. Fiberglass made from abundant silica and has been made greener through the inclusion of post consumer and post industrial recycled materials.

4. Cellulose is today’s green loose fill insulation of choice. It is composed of roughly 75% recycled shredded newsprint treated to be flame resistant. Cellulose is not advisable to use in areas prone to moisture.

5. Polyiso is considered the most environmentally friendly spray foam and rigid foam board. It has a higher R-value than batt, and loose fill insulation and can be used anywhere in a home except below grade.

With all the above insulation alternatives above , proper installation is the key to tightening a home. Poorly installed insulation that leaves gaps or is not well sited to the moisture levels can compromise the R-value of the insulation. Some installations may qualify for a tax credit.

South Carolina April 2010 Market Analysis


As expected, buyers in South Carolina took advantage of the federal first-time home buyer tax credit last month, which officially came to a close on April 30. Pending Sales were up 16.3 percent versus last year at this time, with 4,802 contracts written. That is the highest number of pending sales since April 2008. Closed Sales were also up 25.0 percent to 4,196.

To capitalize on buyer activity, sellers added 10,863 new listings to the market in April, an increase of 22.3 percent compared to last year. They may have also been encouraged by the Median Sales Price which was up 4.4 percent to $144,000. This influx of listings has pushed the Months Supply of Inventory up 3.7 percent to 14.9, and inventory itself was also up 3.2 percent to 56,844. This is also a high mark. In fact, it's the most properties available in South Carolina since modern methods of data tracking began in 2007.
