Cannonborough is a vibrant and exciting area of historic Charleston. From our apartment you can reach the Battery in 30 minutes so you can tell the entire area is relatively small and manageable. “South of Broad” is the quietest and most residential area with amazing, world famous mansions. In contrast, the Cannonborough area is full of restaurants, shops, boutiques and bars and is considered the “happening” part of town. It too has its share of important house museums (the Manigault House is a few blocks away). The famous Charleston Museum is across from the Manigault House and the very popular Children’s Museum is also in this area. Or you may pass through the College of Charleston with its Spanish-moss-draped trees a few blocks from the apartment on your stroll to the Battery.
