Very affordable postwar homes

Other military installations and commercial warehouses around the North Charleston Port operate in the opposite direction along the Cooper River. While about two-thirds of the people living in Highland Park rent their homes, prospective buyers can find relatively affordable housing options here, with the average home value approximately $100,000 below the North Charleston average. Home styles vary greatly. On either side of the interstate, buyers will find apartment condos, townhouses, and tiny ranch-style homes between $100,000 and $250,000. Sometimes, larger single-family homes needing renovation are listed within the same price range. At the higher end of the market, newer colonial revival homes and ranch-style homes approaching 2,000 square feet or more sell for as high as $400,000.
