About North Charleston

North Charleston is the third-most populated city in South Carolina and the center of all travel and entertainment for the Charleston Metropolitan area. Launching into the industrial & military complex in 1901, we welcomed the Charleston Naval Shipyard. Since then we played a vital role in World War 1 & 2 and eventually became a city on July 9, 1972.

The city that entertainment, industrial, military, & living all come together.

Home of Charleston’s best breweries, distilleries, water-front parks, & more!

Thanks to a transition by the US government to close the previous hub of our great city, the Charleston Naval Shipyard, we have incredible access to the Ashley River with Riverfront Park, featuring numerous concerts & events. If a playground or recreational park is more of what you are seeking, consider our newly revamped, Park Circle, which is surrounded by numerous incredible restaurants, bars, breweries, and distilleries, and only minutes from the best shopping in Charleston, TopGolf, and Riverfront Park.

If you are considering moving to Charleston, North Charleston offers water front real estate, homes within walking & biking distance of restaurants, a 15-minute drive to anywhere in Charleston, 2 College campuses, and more!
