A Closer Look at the “Holy City”
Situated where the Ashley and Cooper Rivers meet to form a natural harbor opening to the Atlantic Ocean, the city of Charleston and surrounding coastal communities offer rewarding investment opportunities for Buyers and Sellers along with a compelling lifestyle. The enduring charm, unique character, culture and unbeatable natural amenities so abundant here are what first attracted me to the Charleston Lowcountry.
Charleston, rich in history, tradition and cultural diversity, is also this country’s fourth largest port. It is a beautifully preserved city that treasures its many historic buildings and simultaneously embraces the 21st Century as the new Arthur Ravenel Bridge will attest. It is the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America and graces this city with its twin towers.
As the “hub” for the sea islands and surrounding communities on either side of the Ashley, Cooper and Wando Rivers, as well as those which lie inland, Charleston supports a symphony orchestra, a number of theaters, many art galleries and museums, as well as a wide variety of up-scale shops and fine restaurants. It also plays host to the College of Charleston, Trident Technical College and The Citadel, as well as The Medical University of South Carolina, Roper-St. Francis Hospital and Trident Hospital. Known as the “Holy City,” Charleston has a thriving, multi-denominational population.
