Where I live is absolutely gorgeous, what with the arching trees bending over roadways and the spanish moss draping from the long, gangly branches but the roads and intersections are in desperate need for more flora both to serve as a deterrent to littering and also to encourage a greener and more ecofriendly environment.
Downtown Charleston is also in desperate need for more accessibility to be given to disabled and impaired people. The lack of ramps along the boardwalk creates a hazard for the blind, elderly, and even the young. It would be a simple fix that would only reap benefits with its implementation.

Depending on the part of North Charleston, the safety can range from don't look out your padlock door at night to just making sure your car doors are locked. The nightlife is okay as there is not much going on other than concert events at the NCPAC or a few businesses/restaurants being open after 9pm. The public schools are decent but violence is not uncommon. Any good public school is hard to find in the area and schools like SOA and AMHS have their own quirks. Just hope you survive the system. But hey! 526 runs right through it. If need be just hop on the interstate to get to somewhere nicer!
I enjoy living in North Charleston, South Carolina. This city has grown so much in the past few years. My children attend the public schools here and are on the honor roll. My oldest is in the STEM program. We currently have a new facility opening next month that will be focused on children, which is great. I wouldn't have to travel far to get my children assistance with their health. My family is heavily invested into North Charleston and we wouldn't change a thing.
