History permeates the very sidewalks of Wraggborough, where antebellum homes line the streets that make up this charming garden district neighborhood. Wraggborough is home to two of Charleston’s most prominent historic homes, the Aiken-Rhett House and the Joseph Manigault House.

Residents who live in Wraggborough are surrounded by some of Charleston’s major landmarks. Marion Square makes up one corner of the neighborhood. The Charleston Visitor Center and the Charleston Museum are located in the center of the neighborhood along Wragg Mall. Ferries leave for Fort Sumter along the harbor next door to the South Carolina Aquarium.
Wraggborough is bisected by two of the most historic streets in Charleston—King Street and Meeting Street. More than three centuries old, King Street is named for the English king Charles II, in whose honor Charleston was founded in 1670.
Many of Charleston’s most architecturally significant buildings line Meeting Street, including the Four Corners of the Law. Just blocks from Wraggborough at the intersection of Meeting and Broad, this is the name given to St. Michael’s Church, Charleston City Hall, the Charleston County Courthouse, and the United States Post Office and Federal Courthouse.
Living in Wraggborough puts residents steps away from the King Street shops, boutiques, and restaurants that attract visitors from all the world. Among the most well-known eating spots are Hyman’s Seafood, Hank’s Seafood Restaurant, and Jestine’s Kitchen. It’s no exaggeration to say that a Wraggborough resident could eat out at a different spot every night of the week!
