As we reflect on 2024 and welcome 2025 with open arms, we couldn’t be more grateful to call the Lowcountry home! From the charming cobblestone streets to the salt air and beautiful marshes, Charleston truly is quite unique. With more and more people moving to the Holy City everyday, it’s no secret that Charleston is the place to be. We’ve rounded up our top five favorite reasons as to why you should move to Charleston in 2025!
Rich History and charming culture. Charleston is the oldest and second-largest city in the state of South Carolina. Founded in 1670, the city is defined by its cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages and pastel pre-Civil-War-era houses, particularly in the bustling French Quarter and Battery areas. Charleston’s culture captivates everyone, with a heavy appreciation for the arts, with a professional ballet company, symphony orchestra, numerous theatre groups and the annual Spoleto Festival USA each Spring.
World-renowned restaurants. Every Sunday you will find that Charlestonians know how to brunch in style. With a vast array of cuisines and new restaurants constantly opening their doors, there is never a shortage of new menus to try and staple establishments to fall back on for a night on the town. From classic southern comfort food to hand crafted cocktails and light bites, there truly is something for everyone.
Quaint neighborhoods. The greater Charleston area is made up of several different unique and quaint neighborhoods. Whether you’re looking for European-style homes and a tight-knit community in I’On, or the grand element of charm in a classic South of Broad home, these neighborhoods are sure to check off all your boxes.
Gorgeous beaches. If there’s one thing locals take seriously, it’s the fact that we sure know how to beach. Sullivan’s Island, Isle of Palms and Kiawah Island all offer picturesque beaches that are perfect for spending a day in the sun. Charleston has a humid subtropical climate with mild winters and hot, humid summers with fairly warm weather through November, so if you’re looking to trade snow-filled winters for warmer ones, you’ve found the right place.
Festivals and events. Social butterflies will rejoice in the jam packed event calendar that takes place every year in Charleston. Some of our favorite local events are: the Charleston Festival, The Lowcountry Oyster Festival, the Cooper River Bridge Run, Southeastern Wildlife Exposition (SEWE), Charleston Food and Wine Festival, Charleston Fashion Week, the MOJA Arts Festival, and the Holiday Festival of Lights (at James Island County Park).
