Harleston Village
Harleston Village, located on the west side of the peninsula, opened its first streets in 1770. Covered by huge mill ponds during most of the 1800s, it also grew up outside the city’s original walls.
Home to the first golf club in American (despite the lack of a golf course), Harleston Village is bordered by the College of Charleston to the west and the Medical University of South Carolina to the north, making it a popular neighborhood for many who work at those prestigious Charleston institutions.
The Village is most noted for its eclectic architecture – where Gothic-, Greek Revival- and Grand Italianate-style grand mansions stand along side Victorian-age single houses and modern townhouses, offering a broad array of lifestyle options for those who love its convenient location to all the historic peninsular city has to offer.
The corner of Gadsden and Bennett streets is the site of historic Charleston’s latest development. Deemed “a perfect example of conscientious developers helping an area,” the development will be very low density, probably only nine houses that will reflect the rhythm of the rest of the homes on the street. The project includes tackling flooding problems that have plagued the area for years, and will restore an urban salt marsh in the heart of Harleston Village to hits former beauty.
