    Downtown Charleston

    What's it like to live in Downtown Charleston?

    Historic prestige defines Downtown Charleston, where centuries of architectural excellence create one of America's most distinctive urban environments. The walkable district surrounds multiple parks and historic sites including the famous Battery promenade, while King Street's shopping and restaurant scene provides vibrant commercial energy. Though rental rates significantly exceed regional averages, the architectural significance, exceptional walkability, and genuine cultural richness create distinctive living experiences impossible to replicate elsewhere, justifying the premium for those prioritizing authentic historical immersion beyond purely economic considerations.

    East Side

    What's it like to live in East Side?

    Creative renters find inspiration in East Side Charleston, where historic homes converted to apartments offer architectural character minutes from downtown at significantly lower costs than peninsula properties. The neighborhood's renaissance continues through local artist initiatives including building murals and pocket park installations. Units typically feature distinctive details like heart pine floors and tall ceilings creating excellent natural light—particularly valuable for artistic pursuits. Though some blocks show varied maintenance levels, the area's affordability creates opportunities for those valuing location and character over updated finishes, and the vibrant community events create connections beyond typical rental experiences.

    Daniel Island

    What's it like to live in Daniel Island?

    Master-planned perfection defines this peninsula community with 23 miles of bike trails connecting to the Credit One Stadium. Renters enjoy tidal creek views but note $350+/month amenity fees for pool/tennis access. Limited guest parking complicates visitor stays beyond 3 days.

Charleston Renter Confidence Survey

National study of renter’s satisfaction with their cities and states

Here’s how Charleston ranks on:

Overview of Findings

Apartment List has released Charleston’s results from the third annual Apartment List Renter Satisfaction Survey. This survey, which drew on responses from over 45,000 renters, provides insight on what states and cities must do to meet the needs of 111 million American renters nationwide.

"Charleston renters expressed general satisfaction with the city overall," according to Apartment List. "However, ratings varied greatly across different categories, indicating that even though renters love Charleston, some aspects can be better."

Key findings in Charleston include the following:

  • Charleston renters gave their city an A- overall.
  • The highest-rated categories for Charleston were weather, social life and recreational activities, which all received A+ grades.
  • The areas of concern to Charleston renters are affordability (C+) and public transit (C).
  • Charleston earned similar scores to other cities in South Carolina, including Greenville (A+), Myrtle Beach (A+).
  • Charleston did relatively well compared to other cities nationwide, including Miami, FL (C+), New York, NY (C+) and Los Angeles, CA (C+).
  • The top rated cities nationwide for renter satisfaction include Scottsdale, AZ, Irvine, CA, Boulder, CO and Ann Arbor, MI. The lowest rated cities include Tallahassee, FL, Stockton, CA, Dayton, OH, Detroit, MI and Newark, NJ.

Renters say:

  • "Charleston is living history and the overall atmosphere is one of low-key sophistication with an abundance of hospitality." – Teresa L.
  • "I love that there’s so much to do in Charleston and it’s such a beautiful city. I don’t like how expensive rent is here or how high the sales tax is." – Zoe G.
  • "I love the ability to walk everywhere. The scenery is nice and there’s lots to do." – Jordan S.
  • "I love the weather, the nightlife and the beach. The people are friendly and there’s always something to do. The public schools aren’t great, but the teachers are working to make them better." – Sarah H.
