Outdoor living is at the heart of Charleston’s charm — and a big reason so many people pick the city as their new home. Be sure to visit the Charleston aquarium, home to more than 5,000 creatures and host of special events and classes for sea-critter lovers. Another favorite destination is the 10-acre Waterfront Park, overlooking the Cooper River and Charleston Harbor. There you’ll find the famed Pineapple Fountain, Charleston’s treasured monument symbolizing the southern hospitality Charlestonians are famous for. The Charleston Wine and Food festival is world-class, and it draws thousands of guests annually in March. Job growth has increased in Charleston by almost 20% over the past 10 years, three times faster than similarly sized U.S. cities. Tech gigs, in particular, are booming with an influx of multinational corporations setting up headquarters in the immediate area. And hospitality jobs continue to increase as more tourists and new residents discover Charleston — thus the need for more hotels and restaurants. The median household income is $68,438, with Roper St. Francis Healthcare, The Boeing Company, and Trident Health System as the top private sector employers. |
