Local guide
About The Boroughs
Made of up five different 'boroughs', this neighbourhood north of Downtown is a little calmer and collected than the buzzing heart of Charleston. Predominantly residential, that doesn’t mean it lacks charm, by any means. The streets of The Boroughs are still picture-perfect as the day they were built in the 18th century. Wide boulevards are home to antebellum houses where you’ll still see rocking chairs on porches and hear cicadas...
