Historic homes have kept their character and charm

Home architecture in Hampton Park Terrace includes Historic Charleston Singles, Arts and Crafts, bungalows and foursquares. “There are some big, beautiful homes that are along the park, old classic, lovely homes,” says Michele Costanzo, a Realtor with eXp Realty, who sells in the area. “Size-wise, some old homes have been divided up into individual condominiums but many of them have been preserved. You’ll get homes from [1,200 to 1,500] all the way up to several thousand square feet.”
Prices typically range between $1 million and $3 million. However, it is slightly more affordable than other downtown neighborhoods, such as the French Quarter and South of Broad. Homes are typically on gridded streets with small lots and live oaks accenting properties. Some do not have their own garage or parking space. The Hampton Park Terrace Historic District and the City of Charleston maintain regulations regarding the maintenance and appearance of historic homes. “You can’t really change homes within the board of architectural review’s jurisdiction within the city,” says Costanzo.
Hampton Park Terrace has “attracted people of all ages,” according to Costanzo, with a mix of families, young professionals and residents who have been living in the same house for generations, calling the neighborhood home.
