Another Great Restaurant Coming to Charleston

Wed, May 23rd 2012 7:49 am by Samantha Havens Around Town

If you've been to the Lowcountry, you know it boasts some of the finest dining around..... Well, looks like Charleston is getting ready to introduce the newest seafood member to its restaurant repertoire.... Sometime this Fall, we will welcome "The Ordinary".  Introduced by the same successful team that started "Fig" on Meeting Street (not far from Charleston Place Hotel), The Ordinary promises to provide diners with a laid back oyster- themed option in the hippest area of Upper King where you can't help but stroll upon other great spots for sushi, italian, classic southern and fab steakhouses.  Visitors and locals alike are correct when they say it's tough to find a bad meal in Charlesto...

James Island Victory - Again!

Tue, May 22nd 2012 9:29 am by Samantha Havens Around Town

Anyone who lives on James Island - a quaint little community conveniently located near Downtown Charleston and Folly Beach, knows all too well the struggle this area has been fighting for several years - winning, then losing again to the backlash of the City of Charleston who inevitably swoops in to "reclaim" the territory.  Sounds like something you might have read in your history books years ago, doesn't it? Well as of yesterday they are winners again!  James Island is no longer (as of the end of July 2012) under the governing control of the City of Charleston but rather will come to be known as the Town of James Island.   Many in favor of this change have argued that being separated fr...

Flood Zone Tip When Searching for a Home

Mon, May 21st 2012 1:43 pm by Samantha Havens Worried About Charleston Flood Zones

Many buyers I work with are curious about which flood zone a particular home is in.  And more than that, once they do find out, they don't necessarily understand what the flood zone code may mean relative to policy coverage and cost.  Here is a great resource to use when browsing properties to help you determine if in fact the home is in a flood zone, which flood zone it is and what that means to an insurance company in terms of high vs. low risk.

Visit FreeFlood.com which will ask you to register if you have never been to their site before.  Simply enter a valid email address and password and you will be set up immediately.  From there, just enter the home's address, city, state and zip...

A Glimpse Into Seabrook Island, SC

Wed, May 16th 2012 4:06 pm by Samantha Havens Living at the Beach

Seabrook Island BeachWho wouldn't want to live at the beach? The sunsets that seem as if they are melting into the water, the calming waves of the ocean, delicate beach grass that sways back and forth in the breeze.... wow, all you need to add is an umbrella drink and it's like a forever vacataion!  Well, that is exactly what I experienced day in and day out when I relocated to Seabrook Island, SC.  There truly wasn't a day that I didn't feel as though I was on vacation "away from it all".  No matter what day to day stressor that we all face was thrown my way, knowing that I was coming home to the natural beauty of Seabrook Island washed every care away and helped me to be a bit more appreciative of the simpl...
