While many people are still choosing to buy vacation property on the islands, an increasing amount are starting to buy in the City. Why downtown? Well for starters, Charleston has been ranked top three in the country for shopping, and is considered to have some of the best restaurants as well. Many like the idea of having a permanent parking space in the city and being within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants. When they decided on taking a trip to the beach, they can drive 15 minutes either way to the Isle of Palms, Sullivan’s Island, or Folly Beach. Parking is much easier to find on the beaches. While prices can be steep downtown, they are not as out of reach as some people might think .
