North Charleston combines city convenience with Southern hospitality, positioned perfectly between Charleston International Airport and the Port of Charleston. The area has become a major employment center, anchored by Boeing's 787 Dreamliner facility. Current rental rates average $1,410 for one-bedroom apartments and $1,571 for two-bedroom units, with rates showing a 1.4% decrease over the past year. Park Circle, one of only two English Garden Style communities in the United States, features tree-lined streets, local shops, and community gathering spaces.
Entertainment options include the North Charleston Coliseum and Performing Arts Center, which hosts Broadway shows and concerts throughout the year. Riverfront Park, developed on former Navy grounds, offers walking trails and waterfront views along the Cooper River. History buffs can explore the Greater Charleston Naval Memorial and the H.L. Hunley Museum, home to the preserved Civil War submarine.
