The cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, and pastel antebellum houses are what make Charleston SC unique. Visitors to this historic city can stroll along the Battery promenade or stroll through Waterfront Park. A trip to the harbor is not complete without seeing Fort Sumter, a federal stronghold and the site of the first shots of the Civil War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charleston&#8217;s economic growth is largely due to the growing number of technology companies and startups that are setting up in the area. Many students flock to the city to study at the local colleges and universities. Unfortunately, many millennials fear that there won&#8217;t be jobs once they graduate. Fortunately, the Charleston economy has kept many millennials in town. Despite the challenges, Charleston is a great place to live and work. Listed below are some reasons why you should consider moving to this charming city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Music lovers will be wowed by the city&#8217;s numerous music venues. The Dock Street Theatre, America&#8217;s first purpose-built theater, is home to the Charleston Stage Company, South Carolina&#8217;s oldest professional theatre company. The Sottile Theater is a modern addition to the historic architecture of downtown Charleston. If you&#8217;re looking for a more historic setting, the Calhoun Mansion was built in 1876 by George Williams. It was named for President Patrick Calhoun, who was a prominent political figure in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city has many must-see places to visit, as well as unique attractions. From haunted locations to modern art museums, Charleston SC has something for everyone. The Charleston area beaches are open year-round, and many of them are accessible even in winter. This means you can visit them year-round and experience the rich history of the city. You&#8217;ll also enjoy many other activities in Charleston, including day trips on the water and immersion into the rich culture of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a place to shop, Charleston has many unique boutiques and specialty stores. The city&#8217;s popularity has grown in recent years, and many of these places are worth visiting. For example, the city is a renowned center of the arts, and a museum dedicated to the city&#8217;s history can be found at the Maritime Museum. If you&#8217;re a history buff, you&#8217;ll also want to check out the Blue Bicycle Books bookstore in the heart of the downtown district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best time to visit Charleston is during the off-season.
