Downtown Charleston FYI: Home Prices in Ansonborough
November 09, 2009
A wise man (me) once wrote: "Ansonborough was one Charleston's first suburbs outside of the original city walls. Hundreds of Charleston single and double houses, townhouses and condos huddle alongside local attractions like the South Carolina Aquarium and an entertainment complex including a we-can’t-call-it-IMAX theater. Once a forgotten slum, Ansonborough is now a vibrant Charleston neighborhood whose decades-long renaissance has become a true urban success story."
So what does the Downtown Charleston real estate price-o-meter have to say? On this day the top slot belongs to 20-bed, 16 bath Charleston Single on East Bay Street. Built in 1804, this itty-bitty 10 thousand sq ft beauty will set you back $4.8MM.
There’s one or two at that peak. Then you quickly drop into the $1MM+ range. It takes ten listings to drop below $1MM, and there’s a decent selection of Charleston single and double houses, townhouses and condos in the high- to mid-hundred thou's.
At the bottom of the list is a 1 bed, 1 bath condo in a 100-year-old apartment building on Meeting Street. It's that cool-looking brick building with the arched stone entrance, just south of Calhoun. Asking price: $169K.
Now, to me, that's a fun find of the week. A 500 sq ft condo for under $200K puts you within walking distance of a wide variety of activities, from Gaillard Auditorium to Marion Square to the shopping, dining and clubbing of King Street. That’s your Downtown Charleston awesomeness value of the week!
