Charleston from yesterday to today

One of the most beautiful and historical cities in the United States is Charleston. With an area population of approximately 650,000, Charleston is growing rapidly. 

Our wonderful weather, excellent job growth and the many visitors and retirees who fall in love with our area and decide to make Charleston their new home are just a few of the reasons that Charleston is such a popular place to live today.

Majestically situated on a peninsula surrounded by the Ashley and Cooper Rivers which form Charleston harbor, Charleston is a treasure of antebellum houses, historic churches, cobblestone streets and hidden gardens.
