Charleston is a charming, historical city with friendly people and a dynamic culture. The city is home to a symphony and a vibrant live-music scene, numerous galleries and museums, wonderful restaurants, multiple institutes of higher education, minor league baseball, hockey, and soccer teams, beautiful beaches, and year-round outdoor activities including golf, tennis, and water sports. In 2026, Charleston was voted the No. 1 city in the U.S. by Southern Living magazine, and 2nd in the U.S. by Travel + Leisure.

The Charleston area, including Nexton, is one of the fastest growing regions of the country.
