What $200,000 gets you in Charleston

For this series, I am just going to take a look at what is available on the Charleston Peninsula.  Yes, I know you can do a search on your own but wouldn’t you agree that sometimes it helps to have the inside perspective?  While at first glance, $200,000 seems expensive for what you get, consider the significant savings over time in transportation costs.  As a matter of fact, did you know Wagener Terrace is one of the entire metro area’s most affordable neighborhoods when you factor that in?
