The case

The tourism heart of the Lowcountry - cobblestone streets, historic homes, and the College of Charleston, driving premium short-term-rental income and long-term appreciation on scarce, land-constrained inventory.

Risks

Strict, zoning-and-owner-occupancy-dependent STR rules must be verified property by property; historic preservation limits renovations. Premium pricing, HOA/condo costs, and coastal insurance apply. About 71% of Charleston properties carry severe 30-year flood risk - verify the FEMA zone, get an elevation certificate, and quote wind and flood insurance, which materially affects coastal cash flow.

Best for

Short-term-rental and appreciation investors who verify STR eligibility and want the region's strongest tourism demand.
