The Neighborhood:

What do we appreciate about this neighborhood? Everything!



Each home is unique. The culinary scene for which the Charleston has become so famed is just steps away. Xiao Bao Biscuit, The Grocery, The Ordinary, 492 and Cannon Green. The fantastic eateries and nightlife of Upper King Street are close enough to walk but far enough to not keep you up all nighttime.

The DASH trolley is complimentary in Charleston. There are 3 routes, and two of the routes have stops just 3 blocks from this property. More information can be found with the route map on the DASH website.
