Downtown Christmas Light Delight – By Bike

Last night it was a balmy Charleston Eve, so my husband and I decided to take a little two-wheeled spin around the quiet streets of Downtown to take a look at the Christmas lights. I don’t know about ya’ll, but seeing houses lit up always makes me happy, so I thought I’d share the holiday cheer with you. 🙂 Here’s...

Another Home with a Jawdropping View – 45 Pendleton St in Wagener Terrace, Charleston

I completed my most recent post about homes with a view in Downtown Charleston, right before this stunner came on the market, but today I was lucky enough to have a private showing of this home. 45 Pendleton St, while not ‘Downtown’ as people tend to think of it, is Downtown in that it is on the Charleston Peninsula in Wagener...

Appraising the Character of Cannonborough/Elliotborough, Windermere and Byrnes Downs

The City of Charleston recently released what they call “Area Character Appraisals” for three additional neighborhoods which are considered to have a distinct historic importance in the Charleston region – Cannonborough/Elliotborough on the Charleston Peninsula, and Windermere and Byrnes Downs just over the bridge in West Ashley – both well situated to be walkable and tightly knit (so of course...

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...

Stuck in Traffic? Not Me. Downtown Charleston Living is Easy…

After enduring the Thanksgiving traffic to and from Atlanta (I-26 drivers are crazy!) I realize that I forgot to give Thanks for one other thing in my last blog post. That I don’t have to commute. Now it wasn’t always thus, and so I do know the nightmares of the every day back and forth, but just now, I feel...

In honor of Edwin Gardner

This morning in Charleston, I participated in the Edwin Gardner Memorial Ride. A bicycle ride to not only honor a fallen cyclist, but also a man who was an integral part of this city’s fabric, and loved by everyone with whom he came in contact.

Demand for Walkable Neighborhoods is on the Rise

In the June issue of The Atlantic, author Christopher Leinberger discusses the rise in demand for walkable neighborhoods around the country. Here on the Charleston Peninsula and in a few other neighborhoods around the area – we ARE walkable and have been since inception, thus I suspect the demand for homes around here will rise. These neighborhoods have experienced much...

The Best Family Friendly Neighborhood in Downtown Charleston is…Harleston Village

Disclaimer: I do live in Harleston Village and love every bit of it – but that’s not why I think (even KNOW) Harleston Village is the most family-friendly neighborhood in Downtown Charleston. While each of the neighborhoods has its own distinct beauty and character (for descriptions check out my previous post), Harleston Village wins hands down because of its proximity...

I thought Cara, the author, did such a great job in capturing the spirit of what I am out to accomplish so I decided to post this article in full. While Charleston is already is an amazing place to live, it has so much potential to be even better! Charleston is well on its way to becoming a leader in...
