All the perks of Downtown Charleston with almost none of the hassle
Wagener Terrace is a tight-knit downtown Charleston neighborhood similar to other downtown communities, with its walkable streets, charming homes and proximity to some of the city's best restaurants, shops and outdoor spaces. There's just one exception: "No horse carriages," says Marshall Walker, the owner and broker-in-charge at Marshall Walker Real Estate, who has lived in the area for 20 years. While horse-drawn carriages are a staple in touristy neighborhoods like South of Broad, Wagener Terrace residents share the roads with each other instead of out-of-towners and get around mostly by bike, on foot, or occasionally, golf cart. “Some people love it, and some people hate it, but yeah, golf carts,” Walker says with a laugh.
The Ashley River is the largest body of water near Wagener Terrace.
