Why Downtown Charleston Needs More Rentals (Like, Yesterday)

Charleston is booming with charm oozing from every cobblestone street so it's no surprise that people are packing up and heading to this wonderful city. 30 new residents a day are moving to Charleston. That’s nearly a football team (with a backup quarterback) arriving every single day—and they all need somewhere to live.

Population Increase

Charleston is growing and it's growing quickly. Looking at the national average, Charleston is growing six times faster! The metro area is looking to reach a population of one million by 2040. Buying a home in Charleston is not always an option. With the colleges and jobs that are coming to Charleston, there is a need for more housing. The solution - rental properties.

Job Opportunities are increasing

Between the many schools, MUSC and the Port, Charleston is growing in job opportunities. People with families are interested in this wonderful way of life and sunny weather.

A City on the Rise… and a Market Feeling the Pressure

Median prices in Charleston have grown greatly the last few years and is predicted to continue. The real estate market is competitive with limited supply. Rental properties provide a much-needed resource for new arrivals, young professionals, and more. Whether is a carriage house South of Broad or an entire Charleston Single home near Colonial Lake, there is great demand for rentals.

Downtown: Where Everyone Wants to Be

Downtown Charleston is the perfect place to live. Between restaurants, festivals, farmers markets, theatres and more, it is an endless supply of fun energy. Downtown is a peninsula which has limited housing supply and strict regulations on preserving historic homes. We believe historic homes can be maintained and rented very thoughtfully with proper maintenance and inspections. We also seek out tenants that respect and love the history of these homes.

The Bottom Line

Charleston is a spectacular city with a lot to offer. With the influx of new people, we are hoping to connect landlords with excellent tenants that will love and respect their home as their own. Through our careful process of screening, in-person orientation to the home and guidelines and regularly scheduled inspections, your home will be protected for many decades to come.

We want downtown homes and communities to be respected and maintained. Your property is important and it's crucial you have a property manager that is always present and ready to help.
