From pivotal Civil War sites to inspiring art installations and landmarks of natural beauty, there’s plenty to do in South Carolina if you’re considering investing in Charleston real estate. As the state’s oldest city that’s just shy of the Atlantic Ocean, there’s plenty to see, do and simply experience for those seeking a visitor-friendly excursion while mulling a move to the “Holy City” – a nickname we’ll address later.
- A rivalry realized: Fort Sumter, located in Charleston Harbor, bore witness to the breakout of the U.S. Civil War on April 12, 1861. Confederate forces shelled the site that was constructed in the wake of the War of 1812 and is now a national park.
- Over the edge: What’s a trip to the coast without a visit to a local shore town? While some of the more well-known resorts are hours away from Charleston, locales like Folly Beach -- known as the “Edge of America” to locals -- and Isle of Palms offer the same sand and water elsewhere along the coast of this country.
- Steeple skyline: The “Holy City” slogan comes from the many church steeples that be seen across Charleston. Many of these institutions of hundreds of years old and date back to the 1800s. Vastly varying in both architecture and denomination, many of these houses of worship continue to host services multiple times each week. Magnolia Cemetery is also the final resting place of some of the state’s well-known and notorious leading figures.
- Southern comfort: The 2017 iteration of the annual Charleston Wine + Food Festival is scheduled for March 1 through March 5. The event has highlighted local culinary traditions since its founding in 2006 and widely praised by local media for both the quality of food being plated and the talent doing the cooking.
