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.
Who wouldn’t want to find their next home in one of the nearby Charleston downtown neighborhoods? The Charleston neighborhoods are South of Broad, Harleston Village, French Quarter, Ansonborough, Upper Concord Street, Radcliffeborough, Mazyck-Wraggborough, Cannonborough-Elliotborough, Eastside, Westside, Hampton Park Terrace, Wagener Terrace, North Central, and East Central. This series of blogs includes some history, a brief market analysis, and the boundaries of each neighborhood. Explore Charleston SC Real Estate and find the right neighborhood and Charleston home for you.
Eastside
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. But also like the Ansonborough Neighborhood, the Eastside Neighborhood has started to make a comeback as a neighborhood in transition.

Eastside is bounded on the north by the South side of Harris Street, to the South side of Jackson Street, to the South side of Lee Street and on the south side by the North side of Chapel Street, to the North on America Street, to the North side of Mary Street. The eastern boundary is the West side of East Bay Street and the western boundary is the East side of Meeting Street.
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. The Westside community is a very diverse community with college students, professors, medical professionals, workers in diverse fields of employment along with life long residents.
During the past six months Charleston’s Eastside neighborhood had 4 homes sold at price of $183,400. See Charleston SC Real Estate to search for homes.

The Downtown Charleston Neighborhoods: Mazyck-Wraggborough and Cannonborough/Elliotborough
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.

This series of blogs includes some history, a brief market analysis, and the boundaries of each neighborhood. Explore Charleston SC Real Estate and find the right neighborhood and Charleston home for you.
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.
During the past six months Charleston’s Mazyck-Wraggborough neighborhood had 1 home sold at price of $252,000. See Charleston SC Real Estate to search for homes.
Mazyck-Wraggborough is bounded on the north by the South side of Mary Street and on the south by North side of Calhoun Street. The eastern boundary is the West side of America Street, to West side of Alexander Street, to South side of Chapel Street, to the West side of East Bay Street; the western boundary is the East side of King Street.
Cannonborough/Elliotborough
The Charleston neighborhood running parallel to the Crosstown may be run-down in parts, but Cannonborough-Elliotborough is probably the most diverse residential area in Charleston. Blue-collar workers, college students, and young families live side-by-side, and the streets are typically full of people on their porches and mingling on the sidewalk. There are many restaurants and small business throughout the area.
During the past six months Charleston’s Cannonborough/Elliotborough neighborhood had 4 homes sold at price of $360,000. See Charleston SC Real Estate to search for homes.
Cannonborough/Elliotborough is bounded on the north by the South side of Highway 17, to South side of Sheppard Street and on the south by the North side of Morris Street, to the North side of Bee Street. The eastern boundary is the West side of Meeting Street and the western boundary is western boundary is the East side of President Street.
