Homes and streets
What the houses are like
Charleston single houses and double houses, many built before 1900, with side piazzas facing south or west.
Lots are small, often under a tenth of an acre. Off-street parking is a real question on many blocks, so ask about it early.
Most of the area sits in the Old and Historic District, so exterior changes go through the Board of Architectural Review.

School assignments and boundaries change. Confirm with the district before you rely on them. Not guaranteed.
