Deeply rooted in its historic past, Charleston draws innumerable visitors each year, seeking the “Old South” of Margaret Mitchell’s “Gone with the Wind” and to walk amongst the ghosts of the Civil War era. Many stay, having found the home of their dreams amongst the varied choices of homes. Whether it is a stately, historic old mansion, country club living on the lush greens of a championship golf course, or a newly built starter home, part of the “New South,” Charleston neighborhoods have something for everyone.
If you want an affordable home downtown, without the aggravation of heavy traffic and the expense of the older historic neighborhoods, Hampton Park Terrace is just what you are looking for! This community is next door to the Citadel and only a short walk to the minor league, Riverdogs, baseball stadium. Brittlebank Park features basketball courts, athletic fields, a playground and the Ashley River fishing pier. Hampton Park is the largest in the city and is a favorite for walkers, runners and for picnicking, amidst ancient oak trees and lush green areas.
With generous lots, and a large selection of bungalow, craftsman, and Colonial styles, houses are generally priced in the upper $400,000's and higher. Attention is in the details. These homes were predominantly built in the early 1900's and feature amenities like fireplaces, heavy crown molding and high ceilings. The higher priced homes border the park.
Six lighted tennis courts allow for night play in the park. Collegiate sporting events at the Citadel are available all year long. The historic sites, shops and restaurants of Charleston are nearby and access to US 17 provides easy passage to the beaches and Mt. Pleasant.
