Downtown Neighborhood

The historic heart of Charleston is, of course, its Downtown district. This historic neighborhood blends the rich history of the city with a definite modern flair, creating a neighborhood that is awe-inspiring. When looking for apartments in Downtown Charleston, look south of Calhoun Street toward the waterway and Concord Street. Broad Street forms the southern border and leads to King Street and up to Beaufrain. Saint Philip Street and the College of Charleston are on the west end of Downtown. The French Quarter, the Design District, and the Historic Charleston City Market are part of Downtown Charleston.

The history of Downtown Charleston is everywhere – the number of preserved historic buildings in this district is amazing. Be sure to stop by the Pink House after selecting your apartment in Downtown Charleston. This is one of the oldest houses in the area, built sometime between 1694-1712. You’ll also find beautiful antebellum homes along the Battery, including the William Ravenel House (built in 1845), the Louis DeSaussure House (built in 1850), and the Robert William Roper House (built in 1838).

The historic City Market is located at the corner of Meeting and Market streets. This fantastic location spans several city blocks. It was opened after Charles Cotesworth Pinckney ceded the land to the city in 1788 – with the stipulation that the property remain a market. The first market building opened in 1804, and other buildings were added up until the 1830s. Open every day except Christmas Day, the market contains a variety of vendors, artists, craftspeople, and more. The market, which is a National Historic Landmark, is one of the most-visited sites in Charleston.

The French Quarter is a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The area was first settled in 1680 and features some remarkable historic sites, as well as a variety of restaurants, boutiques, and art galleries. In addition to the Pink House, the French Quarter contains the Old Slave Mart, built in 1859; the French Huguenot Church, built in 1844; and the gorgeous Dock Street Theatre, built in 1809 as a hotel. The site contained the original Dock Street Theatre, which opened in 1736 as one of the first sites used by the original Thirteen Colonies as a theatre. The original theatre was lost to the Great Fire of 1740.

As you look at Downtown Charleston apartments for rent, you may discover some amazing historic locations – many historic buildings have been transformed into apartment buildings and condos. Downtown Charleston is a small, busy area with a variety of great locations. If you want to live near the water, look in the French Quarter or along Concord Street, which is the location of the Battery, the South Carolina Aquarium, and Waterfront Park. To live close to City Market, look along Hayne Street, Meeting Street, Market Street, and north of Cumberland Street. For an apartment near the College of Charleston, look along King Street and Calhoun Street. To be close to a variety of art galleries the Old Slave Mart Museum, and the Dock Street Theatre, look near the intersection of Church Street and Chalmers Street.
