The City of Charleston, itself, includes residents who appreciate living on the historic Charleston Peninsula area with its antebellum mansions, people who want the conveniences and cutting edge yet, relaxed life style of the Daniel Island community, and people who like the comfortable, old Charleston feeling you get on James Island or in West Ashley.
