Cheap Houses in Downtown Charleston Neighborhood in Charleston, SC

Find cheap houses for rent in Downtown Charleston with Apartment Finder. Whether you're looking for a two-bedroom home or something more spacious with three-four beds, you want the best place at the right price. We have a great selection of budget-friendly homes for rent, and we'll show you which houses offer the best value in Downtown Charleston.

Finding a rental house that fits your budget without compromising on quality can seem challenging, but Apartment Finder makes it easy to discover cheap homes for rent with all the features you want. To find a house you can afford, try looking in less popular neighborhoods outside the city center. Timing is everything when searching for affordable rentals, so look at different times of the day, days of the week and (if you can wait) certain months like December through March. When you find a house with a great price, don't hesitate! Cheap homes tend to go very quickly.

Affordability doesn't have to equal sacrifice. While being flexible is important, you might not have to give up as much as you think. You can find a cheap house for rent, complete with must-have amenities such as paid utilities and a garage. Click on any of these properties to see photos and floor plans, read reviews, check out the rent calculator, and learn more about the neighborhood with information on nearby parks, shopping malls, and transit stops. With 41 cheap homes available in Downtown Charleston, Apartment Finder is the place to find your next rental.
