Hey, CHS. Katie here. 👋 It’s no surprise that Charleston is a great place to live. There are plenty of people who grew up here + have lived here for most of their lives, and then there are also lots of people living here like myself, who moved here from another city, or like Vagney, who moved here from a different state.
|
Today, we want to talk to the Charleston newbies – what brought you to the Lowcountry? Was it to be closer to family, the housing market, the proximity to the ocean, or something totally different? We want to hear from you + highlight all of the awesome things that make our city such a great place to live.
We’ll be sharing your answers in a future newsletter.
