Blake's read on the market. Harleston Village has one of the widest price ranges downtown. Single family homes sold at a median of $2.48M, with nine sales at $4M or more, while townhomes and condos sold at a median of $950K, and small condos started near $350K. Homes sold for a median 95.8% of list price after 38 days, so buyers have a little more room here than South of Broad.

Flood zones in Harleston Village

51 of the 60 homes sold here in the past 12 months sit in a high risk flood zone on FEMA’s current map, where federally backed mortgages require flood insurance. The other 9 sit in the moderate risk zone. A zone describes the land, not the house, so the elevation of each home still drives what insurance costs.

Have a home in Harleston Village in mind. Text me the address at 843-718-6338 and I will pull its flood zone and the elevation certificate if one exists, and connect you with a licensed insurance agent for a flood quote.

What to know before you buy in Harleston Village

Historic district rules

Most homes here sit in the city’s historic districts, so exterior changes need approval from the Board of Architectural Review. If you plan to renovate, I help you understand what is likely to be approved before you buy.

Flooding and insurance

Some downtown streets flood during king tides and heavy rain, and others rarely do.

Parking and rentals

Many homes have little or no off street parking, and the city runs a residential parking permit program. Short term rental rules downtown are strict and generally require the owner to live on the property. I confirm both for every home.

Living in Harleston Village

Day to day

Colonial Lake has a walking loop that locals use every day, and King Street shopping and restaurants are a few blocks east. The College of Charleston campus sits on the edge of the neighborhood.

Getting around

MUSC and the Broad Street offices are an easy walk or bike ride. The Crosstown and Interstate 26 connect to the rest of the area, and most daily life downtown happens on foot or by bike. The neighborhood is served by the Charleston County School District.

Buying or selling in Harleston Village
