Charleston Directory

Here are some areas of interest that may be helpful as well as enjoyable for you as you discover our beautiful city. These highlights are all within walking distance or can just as easily be seen on one of the guided Carriage tours that are offered around town.

South of Broad

Beautiful "manor" homes on The Battery with some of the most awesome views of the Charleston Harbor can be found in the familiar area commonly known as "South of Broad". Literally located geographically south of Broad Street in Downtown Charleston, this is one of the oldest sections of the city. It is probably most well known for the softly colored pastel row of stacked houses known as Rainbow Row. White Point Gardens, Edmonston-Alston House and the Nathaniel Russell House which are all open to the public, can also be found South of Broad.

The Market

The City Market is celebrating it's 200th anniversary this year (2007). Back in the 1800's, the Market was used to sell fruits, vegetables, meats and flowers. Today, and since the 1970's, the Market is a popular attraction for visitors and locally alike where aisles and aisles of lowcountry "wares" are available for sale. Its open, airy outdoor (yet covered) setting makes it the perfect place to stroll and shop anytime of the year. It's a "must-see" whenever you are in the Charleston area.

Ansonborough
This area is Charleston's first suburb. It was rebuilt in the 50's subsequent to a destructive fire several years prior that wiped out most of the wooden homes. Today, beautiful brick and shingled architecture can be found thru the quaint streets of Ansonborough. The Gaillard Auditorium, site to many performances by the Charleston Symphony is also a popular location for many local events held throughout the year.

Harleston Village

Our City's college, The College of Charleston, is located in the heart of this mostly residential area. The architectural detail from every era of earlier centuries can be seen throughout this beautiful area. It stretches west all the way to the Ashley River and is easily accessible to the bustling shopping area of King Street.

Elliotborough
A popular area for some college students and as well for locals who have lived there for 50 years. North of Calhoun Street, this no-frills area has neighborhood shops, bars and corner stores lining its streets.
