Charleston is one of America's most visited and interesting cities. Filled with southern charm and hospitality the low country area has plenty for all and a great place to relocate. With mild weather in the winter and four seasons to enjoy this beautiful area  along with affordable housing options the Charleston area and Sea Islands are a friendly paradise.

What’s better than the beautiful weather the SC Low Country offers? A nice beach to enjoy it on! There are three beaches within a 20-minute drive from downtown Charleston. If you’re looking for a less crowded getaway, Sullivan’s Island is a great choice. Isle of Palms, meanwhile, is a popular family destination.  A historical haven founded in 1670, Charleston is nearly 350 years old—and thus the oldest city in the entire state. The city itself is bristling with historic buildings, ranging from brightly-colored houses to the place where the Civil War began (Fort Sumter), making it a beautiful sight.

The art scene boast the first theater in America (Dock Street Theatre, 1736) and the oldest community theater troop in the state (the Footlight Players) can be found in Charleston—and the arts tradition seems to only have continued since then. Charleston has a professional ballet and symphony orchestra, too, as well as loads of museum and local art shops.
