You can make a lot of changes to improve a home, but one thing you can’t change is its location. That’s exactly what makes the Charleston area attractive to property owners who wish to rent out their luxury homes to long-term tenants.
Long-term luxury renters choose Charleston for its year-round warm climate (no snowdrifts!) and its unique blend of history and on-trend cuisine, shopping, and cultural events (like Charleston Fashion Week!). Top-ranked medical facilities like MUSC Health University Medical Center make it an excellent choice for health care.
Whether your luxury rental property is a beachfront home on the Isle of Palms or a downtown Charleston condo, these four attributes will help attract long-term tenants when you list and market your home. Spoiler alert: Handsome Homes does all that work for you. Our property management services include marketing your property to find the best possible tenants, including screening and qualifying potential tenants to ensure the best fit.
Luxury tenants look for top-tier community services like good schools and quality health care. In both categories, the Charleston area offers some of the best.
U.S. News and World Report ranks Wando High School in Mount Pleasant as the fourth-best high school in South Carolina and the third-best in the Charleston metro area. Other top-ranked high schools in metro Charleston include Academic Magnet High School, Charleston School of the Arts, Palmetto Scholars Academy, Charleston Charter School for Math and Science, and James Island Charter High.
The two best hospitals in South Carolina are located in Charleston. U.S. News and World Report ranks MUSC Health University Medical Center as the number-one best hospital in South Carolina. They rank Roper St. Francis Hospital as number two in the state.
Thanks to Charleston’s small size, beaches are never far away. Both Isle of Palms and Sullivan’s Island have spectacular beaches. If your luxury rental property is among the many homes that offer private walkways to the beach, that’s an attribute that will make your home stand out.
Charleston boasts some of the best world-class golf courses in the country. Two of them are located at Wild Dunes Resort on Isle of Palms. The Wild Dunes Links Course overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and the Wild Dunes Harbor Course extends along the Intracoastal Waterway. Award-winning golf course architect Tom Fazio designed both.
Charleston’s restaurant and cuisine scene makes the city one of the premier culinary destinations in the world. Charleston metro residents have access to some of the top restaurants in the country, thanks to locally-sourced foods, award-winning chefs, and Lowcountry food traditions that go back hundreds of years. Charleston’s small size makes it easy for long-term luxury tenants to sample what the area has to offer.
