Historic Homes in Charleston, South Carolina

historic homes in charleston sc

Charleston historic homes fetch some of the highest real estate prices in the Charleston area because home buyers are willing to pay top dollar to own a piece of Charleston's rich history. With the exception of Old Village in Mount Pleasant, most historic homes are concentrated in neighborhoods of peninsular Downtown Charleston. Here, the most coveted addresses are located South of Broad which is the southernmost tip of the peninsula near the Battery and Rainbow Row.

Other highly popular historic neighborhoods Downtown include the French Quarter which gets its name from the French heritage of many of its former residents. It has the famous Dock Street Theatre and the only French Huguenot church remaining in the United States. Harleston Village had the first golf club in the country, even though it did not have a golf course. It's located near the College of Charleston and the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). Ansonborough was Charleston's first suburb when it was established in 1696.
