Located at the tip of the peninsula, South of Broad is Charleston’s best-known and most exclusive residential neighborhood. The community is named South of Broad because it is made up of the area south of Broad Street to the tip of the peninsula.
Many of the homes South of Broad, some of which were originally built by wealthy plantation owners and merchants, were constructed in the grand style and often feature details from the Georgian-Palladian architectural era.
Tree-lined cobblestone streets, European-style landscaped gardens with iron gates, and views of Charleston Harbor make South of Broad a picturesque and tranquil area, located just blocks from Downtown’s bustling shops and restaurants.
With its wide range of stunning historic architecture and unrivaled location, South of Broad is steeped in history and it-happened-here Dixie lore; the Secession was devised in this neighborhood’s parlors and the Civil War’s first shots were fired within sight of the bedroom windows.
South of Broad offers a window to the past and thus is a popular destination for wandering tourists. Though primarily a residential neighborhood, South of Broad is home to many attractions, including the Battery, White Point Gardens, the American Military Museum, Rainbow Row, St. Michael’s Church, and four museum houses.
Homes in this neighborhood range from $850,000 to $23,000,000. Within just a few miles, there are a number of private elementary, middle, and high schools. Over the past decade, the area has become increasingly popular among those seeking a second home. Boasting some of the most sought-after real estate on the east coast, South of Broad represents upscale Southern living at its finest.
