Apartment hunting in Charleston!
We're waiting to find out if it's "official" but we could be moving to Charleston in the next 2 months. I'm looking at apartments and compared to Minnesota they're all gorgeous and amazing to me, so I need your help. Which areas are best to live in and does anyone have any specific recommendations? These are the few I've saved that I like:
Ingleside Plantation
Reserve at Wescott Plantation
Barony Place
Plantation Oaks

Re: Apartment hunting in Charleston!
Nope not yet, thanks for the link!
Have you been to the Charleston area before? It's amazing here... well most parts!
There are a lot of factors you should consider when finding what area you want to live around here - distance from job, surrounding area, etc... I live in Mt. Pleasant and LOVE it. I am not really familiar with any of the places you listed.
Also, I wanted to suggest that you also look into renting a condo, townhouse or a house.
I would love a condo or townhouse. Any suggestions? DH is Coast Guard so we'll live near the base and then I'll find a job when I get there as an RN (at least I hope!).
He's Coast Guard, so I'm not sure which base yet. Thanks for all the info, I'm also in love with Ingleside so I hope we can get somewhat of a deal!
Summerville seems nice, but it is too far out of downtown for my liking. Not sure how you feel about close proximity to downtown Charleston.
Er, construction tends to take a long time- I'm not sure I'd hold out that a freeway would be "all done" 2 months from now.
I lived in Charleston for about a year and just fell in love with it. I hope that you get in there. Good luck house/apartment/townhome hunting, I lived right down town on King Street in student housing..so I can't be much help with what to recommend...but I am sooo jealous of you living there!
Good luck!
I'm not going to comment on the apartment communities that you mentioned, because I work for a division of the company that owns 2 of them. But I did want to say that the problems in Wescott were limited to one particular builder and are 1,000's of houses in Wescott built by nearly every builder in the area, the apartments there (which I have no affiliation with btw) are brand new and not built by the same company as the houses that had all the problems.
As far as the distance issue, I live in Summerville and work downtown and really traffic isn't as bad as people seem to make it out to be. It takes me about 45 minutes to get to/from work when there is traffic, when there's not I can make it in about 30 minutes. I work with people who live it Mt. Pleasant and it takes them the same amount of time.
