Home buyers looking for a home in Charleston today have
an excellent selection of homes available. Single family homes in Charleston come in every variety and at every price point. Property lot sizes vary as well with larger lots more typical in homes built more than 10 years ago. Charleston real estate prices correlate closely with a home's proximity to the ocean and to other waterways. Homes closer to the water, such as in Mt. pleasant, or homes on Daniel Island, tend to cost more than homes more inland, such as in Summerville, in Moncks Corner or in Goose Creek. Homes in or near historic areas, such as with historic downtown Summerville, the "Old Village" of Mt. pleasant, and on the downtown peninsula of Charleston, garner hefty prices as well.
Still, many homes are very affordable - often surprisingly so. There are so many great home buys in real estate in South Carolina that it can even be overwhelming. For the serious home buyer, finding the right home at the right price is a very simple process - with a little help from a good Realtor, of course!
So what really is the place called "Charleston"? It is far more that the historic downtown area that has made Charleton so famous. Home buyers looking for a home in the Charleston area soon learn that the term "Charleston" is broadly applied to the entire Tri-county area of the South Carolina Lowcountry made up of Charleston County, Dorchester County, and Berkeley County.
