North Charleston Reviews
Rating 3.56 out of 5 232 reviews
One of the many things I liked about North Charleston and the zones around it, is that they are known as some biggest historical regions in the US. If you go to any of the places within the United States you have to go to only certain locations to see the history that was within the land. Many states often tear them down or move them to other locations where they're not very much in public ares so they can push on plans for businesses. However, in North Charleston, You can find history pretty much anywhere you go, as it's always going to be something from back then that has a connection to where it is now. I'm not just saying in terms of development and technology as you can see the prime culture of what it was like for those who lived here probably even centuries ago to where it is now. Many can see it as a spot of relaxation, understanding of history, understanding how the importance of this land and many of the events from its past has effected the country that we live.
North Charleston is a great central place to live in South Carolina, with a great balance between the beach and the suburbs is in the heart of Charleston with lots to do. Being able to experience the historic and scenic part of Charleston as well as the modernized and technically advanced experiences provided at different locations, North Charleston is a great place to consider living.
I have lived in North Charleston for over 10 years. I love that there is a beaches near by and plenty of places to eat and enjoy your family and friends. However if you do not go downtown Charleston there is not much to do. I would like to have small clubs or bars to be able to do something at night besides just eating or going for walks. It would be nice to have a place to listen to music or watch a movie outside. It's nice to do things other than stay at home and be bored. If we had more activities like amusement parks, such as Frankie's Fun Park it could grow to be a better experience then it is now. For most of the activities that we do have we have to travel at least 30 minutes or more to get to them, essentially leaving the North Charleston area. Sometimes you want to stay close to home to go out and enjoy yourself, family and friends. So if someone was to build another amusement park, club or just something entertaining it would be a much better experience for everyone.
