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.

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.
