About Charleston
| Boasting
a comfortable climate… a great location, historical charm, and a
variety of resources, the Charleston metropolitan area is among one of
the best places to live in the nation. Comprised of Berkeley,
Charleston, and Dorchester counties, the Charleston metropolitan area
stretches from central to southern South Carolina and some 50 miles
inland, with 90 miles of oceanfront. With a diverse economic mix and one of the largest containerized cargo ports on the South Atlantic and Gulf coasts, the Charleston Metropolitan area continues to grow and flourish, yet its rich, historic charm and cultural sophistication are evident throughout the city. In addition, the region boasts a multi-billion visitor industry, one of the Southeast's most impressive medical hubs, a well-established base of national and international manufacturers, as well as a large military presence. Arts, recreational and cultural opportunities are abundant, including museums, music, dance and theater, as well as water sports, golf, hunting, fishing, horseback riding and more. |
