Downtown Charleston

Charleston's predominant architectural style is known as The Charleston Single.

Welcome to Downtown Charleston

It is located in the low-lying peninsula where the Ashley and Cooper Rivers to the north and south empty into the Atlantic Ocean. The low, flat land of the peninsula allows views of the numerous church spires of various denominations that dot the landscape in all directions.
 
Most striking are the unforgettable and breathtaking views of the vanishing setting sun as it disappears into the depths of the ocean in the distance. Downtown Charleston real estate is beautifully preserved, set amongst natural southern settings.
 
As one of the oldest cities in the United States, you will be able to find the collection of superbly maintained turn-of-the-century and colonial-style homes. Anywhere you walk in this portion of the city on worn cobblestone, you will find numerous examples of the architectural styles from many time periods of the nation's history, set among the more contemporary homes for sale in downtown Charleston.
 
The stunning Rainbow Row houses are a collection of 13 colorful Georgian row houses, or there is the Greek revival style of Market Hall at the head of the infamous Charleston city market. The market is a central feature of the downtown area and stretches four city blocks.
