Charleston, SC Apartments for Rent

Cobblestone lanes, church steeples, and waterfront parks make Charleston easy to love—and easy to get around. You'll find apartments for rent in Charleston across several distinct neighborhoods: the French Quarter for art galleries and quick strolls to Waterfront Park and the City Market; Cannonborough-Elliottborough for indie eateries on Spring and King Streets with an easy walk to the College of Charleston and MUSC; Harleston Village for leafy streets around Colonial Lake; and Wagener Terrace for porches near Hampton Park and casual spots along Rutledge Avenue. Downtown is bikeable and served by CARTA's free DASH shuttles, so apartments near King Street or rentals close to MUSC keep errands, classes, and dining within minutes.

Over the bridges, West Ashley (especially Avondale) mixes local cafes, the West Ashley Greenway, and fast access on US 17 and I-526; James Island offers marsh views, James Island County Park, and a straight shot downtown via the James Island Connector—plus easy runs to Folly Beach. Daniel Island brings miles of trails, Credit One Stadium events, and swift commutes via I-526, while Johns Island draws renters with the Angel Oak and new restaurants along Maybank Highway. Weekend plans write themselves: ferry to Fort Sumter, sunsets at The Battery, the South Carolina Aquarium, and shopping along Upper King Street. Commuters reach major job hubs—MUSC's medical district, port terminals, Joint Base Charleston, and Boeing—via I-26 and the Ravenel Bridge, with rentals close to these corridors making daily travel simple.
