Downtown Charleston SC Real Estate captures everything this picturesque waterfront city has to offer: the downtown southern restaurants, charming hotels, cruise ships, Victorian-style homes, arts and crafts homes, historic bungalows, nearby beaches, markets, and shops; not to mention the Charleston Waterfront Park and the Charleston South Carolina Aquarium.
Parking is often a challenge in downtown Charleston, but your best bet is to find a parking garage off King or Meeting Street and spend some time walking around the bustling area. Staying in one of the many downtown Charleston hotels or bed and breakfasts is a romantic experience to be had by all and they are located close to all of Charleston's restaurants and attractions.
If you walk around long enough, you're sure to find some of your favorite cuisine. With Charleston’s location on the water, there are seafood restaurants serving up the daily catch on nearly every block. If seafood isn’t your fare, there are many Italian and American restaurants to choose from in downtown Charleston.
The Charleston Market is downtown's hub on the weekends. Vendors set up tables along the open-air market and sell a variety of clothes, apparel, and art. The market's location is just a couple blocks from the ocean and Charleston Waterfront Park.

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!
Mazyck-Wraggborough is a neighborhood of diversity. Mazyck-Wraggborough remains a repository of museum properties: The Aiken-Rhett House, the Joseph Manigault House, and the William Rhett House. A recent gated town house neighborhood adds a new dimension.
