You can also go to a lot of historical sites in Charleston. Sometimes if you’re lucky you get in for free as well. Nice place to be
@@hurricane37 so true!
done a good job, nicely describe almost everything , would have been even better if you would add schooling and universities expense
@@i9imbig thank you! So true I wish I had thought of that. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll have to add that in future videos!
Impressive!
@@marcmiller8290 thank you!
Katarina…ugh! The traffic tho! lol. Trev dropped me a line on messenger also! 👍
@@darksideofthemoon7332 I know, I hate it! And nice, glad he finally saw it and responded!
I'm going to guess that you are an Aries.
Correct!
Lived in Chas 25 years still have 1 out of three daughters living there just visited about 2 months ago its a friggin nightmare if you can get past the racial politics and the 1950’s infrastructure and the crazy traffic …..go for it bring back Mayor Reilly at least he didnt try to hide his corruption , he owned the biggest real-estate co on the peninsula for 20 years and no one said a word and there are no locals left they all moved to Greenville
Voice creepy that growl
What is that growl while she's talking?
Which part? Probably my dog 😅
It's Rome
Please stop Moving to Charleston gentrification!!!!!
Why no mention of not going when light turns green. Thats thd main reason fod congestion.
I do hate when that happens! But I still think the problem is too many cars on too few roads.
Where are you getting your data from?? Housing prices are going down and will continue to.
I got my data from the local Charleston MLS. The median sales price in Charleston is still increasing, albeit more slowly. The median sales price right now is $425,000 which is up 1.2% from this time last year.
Just a thought on Mount Plastic: = Up to their eyeballs in debt just to live there. It's all credit. "plastic"
Good report, Ms. West. I was just there recently on Daniel Island but only for a day. I'm not thinking about moving there but I am thinking about moving from Atlanta. Now I need a post from you on 10 REASONS TO MOVE TO CHARLESTON. I have about 50 thousand acquaintances in Atlanta I want to send it to so they can be closer to water. Thanks.
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed it when you visited. Great idea, I’ll have to make a video about that! I’ll work on that next so you can send to your acquaintances.
Please don't come. Charleston is Full!
👍
We have some in Virginia too
Where?
@@TheWinterShadow in a very small area near the NC border, dismal swamp and Virginia Beach
I can’t wait to move down there!
That’s exciting!!
I would consider a “healthy market” that prices of homes should be nearer the 2019 prices - home prices are the problem
We didn't even have air conditioning when I was little. Y'all are wimps. As for culture shock, too many outsiders now. Same with tourists and traffic. And those palmetto bugs are not a big deal. Mosquitoes are a pain. Any coastal area can have flooding. Just know that if you are an outsider, natives will be polite to you, all the while despising you.
Beautiful Boat!

I’d love to help out! Feel free to contact me and I can send you a list of properties with your criteria. 843-834-0855/katarina@charlestonhomepro.com
Thanks for taking the time to make this informative video!😊
Thanks for watching!! Glad you found it informative :)
Hi Katarina, thank you for taking the time to post this video! My wife plan on relocating to Hollywood possibly West Ashley area in a couple of years with our little son. What are your thoughts on the schools in the area? Thanks!
Hi Chris, thanks for watching! That's exciting :) As a real estate agent I am actually not allowed to talk about schools or crime, but I recommend schooldigger.com and greatschools.org. They have quite a lot of info and can help figure out what school options are right for you, as we have public and private schools nearby. Sorry I can't help more with that, but hope that's a start!
What are these homes priced at? Are the fittings and fixtures included? Love the presentation.
Thank you! This one is priced at $380k, but the homes range from the 300-400s. The fixtures are included, and the seller said all appliances can convey.
Katarina, thanks so much for your great vids! We love the Washout too and we have a Mini Aussie named Lola. She always stands in the surf barking at the surfers because they won’t come and play with her. 😂 We love the tons of shops downtown and we also hit the Farmer’s Market on the occasional Saturday when there. I didn’t know about Cafecito, I’ll have to check it out next time we are downtown. Again, great vid!
Thank you for watching, your comment made my day! That's hilarious that Lola barks at the surfers hahah. Hope we run into you guys sometime, and yes you'll have to let me know if you end up going to Cafecito! It's one of our fav spots. But you can't go wrong anywhere really. There are almost too many places to try downtown it's overwhelming haha
@@KatarinaWestRE definitely! If we ever recognize you and Trevor? (I think your husband’s name?) I will definitely stop by to say hi! I’m another Army veteran. Did 20 years as a Combat Medic and retired in 2013. Moved out here in 2015 to apartments off Mary Ader Avenue near Marco’s pizza and then bought a house in Bolton’s Landing of Bees Ferry JUST IN TIME in 2018 before the insanity hit. So glad we moved here when we did. Now EVERYONE wants to move to Charleston and there’s just not enough infrastructure to support the mass migration, you know? It’s crazy!
@@darksideofthemoon7332 yes that’s his name! That sounds great! And oh wow that’s awesome, 20 years in. And you really did move here and buy a house in the perfect time. My parents bought in 2019 and their house has more than doubled in price, it’s insane! And I agree, not enough infrastructure but I don’t blame people for moving here still!
@@KatarinaWestRE oh pfft! Tell me about it, Sister! We bought at $316k. It’s worth $550k+ now. We get the reports monthly. 29414 market only cools down sometimes, but never drops! Tell Trevor I said HOOAH! I’ll buy him a beer sometime and share war stories. LOL! ❤️🇺🇸
@@darksideofthemoon7332 I believe it!! We’re also in 29414 right up the road! Even since I bought my house in 2022 the value has grown a ton. And he said he’d love that!
I’m curious to find out if the landfill outside of 26 has an effect on the quality of life (bad odor) of some of the communities that are close by.
I haven’t heard of complaints of an odor and haven’t smelled it while in those neighborhoods surprisingly, but residents have had issues with birds picking up trash out of the landfill and dropping it in their neighborhoods nearby. Like chicken bones and wrappers and other gross things would be falling from the sky. The landfill is supposed to be working on that litter problem, along with wastewater issues, so hopefully it’s fixable. But you can see the birds circling the landfill while in certain neighborhoods and that was enough for one of my buyers to not want to buy there!
She's lying. They're dangerous here. Stay out.
Great vid! Living off Bees Ferry in Bolton’s Landing. Love this area. West Ashley is growing in bounds though.
Thank you! Glad you love it here too. And yes it definitely is growing, like all of Charleston really!
@@KatarinaWestRE oh big time. Still though, I don’t care. This magical city is the true jewel of the Eastern Seaboard.
@@darksideofthemoon7332 love that, I agree!
Hey good afternoon , if you need crew for remodels, frame, joist, drywall, paint, plumbing, cabinets, tile, tile showers were available in the charleston and surrounding areas. Thank you
Thank you I’ll keep that in mind! How do I get in touch?
I loved your videos, great inspiration to do something similar here in Brazil! thanks
Thank you so much! You totally should!
If you have a lot of money, and I mean a LOT of money, Charleston is a great place to live. You can afford to live in the beautiful old parts of the city or on the water. If you don't have a lot of money, you will likely live in a typical suburb that is a fairly long drive from the water or historic district. Sadly, this has become the norm for pretty much all coastal living, especially in the South. As my wife likes to say "if you live on the coast and don't live on the water, you just live somewhere that gets really hot and has a lot of bugs". Charleston has indeed lost the charm it had 30 or so years ago. Tourism and yankee invaders have transformed Charleston into "Charleston", a concept more than a real place. Charleston today is no more authentic than the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney is an authentic experience of being on a pirate ship. A large percentage of the beautiful old homes on the peninsula are effectively house museums owned by out of town people who do not really live in Charleston but own the houses as investments and trophies.
katerina, you should have an extra for the movie "smile'
A very positive overview with lots of good information for newcomers, but the terrible traffic anywhere in Charleston should be emphasized much more. In rush hour you are 1h++ away from Downtown. I really disapprove when realtors exaggerate an area. I live in West Ashley and commute every day. To make it in 25min you must go to work 1h before and return 1h after everybody else. To get Downtown in the advertised 5min you cannot live beyond Moreland. Most West Ashleyans live outside the I526 where most residential areas are and commutes take 45min-1.5h. A West Ashleyan that moves to any city with well designed public transportation saves about 5-10h driving time = live time a week. That being said, West Ashley is not worse than other areas, but realtors should really be honest and stop claiming that you are quickly anywhere in Charleston. You will spend about 1.5h in traffic each day in Charleston, you will be equally quick by bicycle, and can add another 30min-1h when you use the not schedule optimized very few buses we have.
Thanks for your feedback. I do mention the traffic as a con for West Ashley and other areas of Charleston, but I’ll try to be more realistic about traffic times.
Are you living in Charleston and are you shopping yourself? Where do they sell milk for $2.49 per gallon? That applies to all of your prices. You make Charleston a lot cheaper than it actually is.
Thank you for the feedback, it was not my intention to make Charleston seem cheaper. Where do you shop for groceries?
If you're not a millionaire don't move to Charleston I was Born here in 1954 on the Colonial Lake Lived on Queen Street what a change I have seen money has run the Charlestonians out of town what people loved about Charleston is now Gone the old gray mare ain't what she used
Same story as yours. This is no longer a southern city. She is correct. Very rude people moving here but also great ones. Poor planning with expansion. The cost of living has soared. Wish I could move away.
We don’t like to visit Charleston any more.The lack of zoning has created unsightly urban sprawl. The traffic is terrible and the historic district is disappearing because of all the modern architecture installed. It is so crowded we just can’t wait to leave.
Hi guys!😊
You forgot to mention that the seasons of Fall and Winter last 3 weeks. Other than that, it's simply getting hot, hot, dangerously hot, and then slightly bearably hot.
From Michigan most of my life. Lived in Charlotte for one year. I miss it. Why did you leave? Charlotte in 2024 is twice the size than 1995.
I grew up there so I think after living there for 18 years I was ready to explore a new place. I also felt like there just wasn't much to do there compared to other cities, and I like being by the coast. It is growing like crazy though so plenty of people do love it!
@@KatarinaWestRE I agree Charlotte in 1995. The football stadium was still under construction. Downtown had no life. Club 3000 on Tyron was the spot. Lived off S. Blvd. Always went to the go-cart, putt putt place near Carolina place. But now Downtown has that Epic center and a railway along with the basketball arena.
@@Tru7blue oh wow, yeah definitely different now. That epicentre actually shut down/went into foreclosure but I think someone else bought it and is redoing it. The nightlife in Charlotte in general is supposedly good too. I’m just not a city or nightlife person 😂
75th guys..... Me... Lol. We're thinking about Charleston now that were retired.
That's awesome! If you have any questions as you consider Charleston, we'd be happy to help.
I'm look
Do you have any updates
Any updates for which part?
Thank you for the advice. Very helpful. Plus, you have one of the nicest voices I’ve ever heard.
Thank you, I'm glad you found it helpful. And aw thank you!
@@KatarinaWestRE How is the healthcare in the area? We currently live in the Raleigh NC area and the growth here has exploded and it can be a six month wait to see a specialist. We're retirees and healthcare gets to be more front and center as people get older.
❤❤
You've done a great job into representing West Ashley. I'm from West Ashley and I feel very proud of this video. Good job 🎉
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you think so! Love it here :)
Best property investment in the U.S. the value keeps climbing as more and more people with money are moving to Charleston and nearby.
Hi Katarina! First of all me an my wife has been spending a lot of time watching you videos and learning a little about Charleston Area. Could you please do a video about Hanahan and Ladson? I don't see a lot about these areas and I am curious about it. Thank you so much and keep up with the good work!
Hello, thanks so much for reaching out and your kind words! Yes I can definitely do that, thanks for the suggestions!
Moving next month to Dorchester County to Silvana Oaks. Can you tell me about this area
Exciting! Yes this area has a good amount of retail/restaurants around. It's close to the air force base and Charleston airport so Dorchester Rd can get pretty backed up, especially during commuter times. But that should be a good spot to explore the things to do around town - not too far from downtown Charleston, the beaches, etc. Hope you enjoy it!
@@KatarinaWestREyes moving from NYC to
