Our Take
Charleston, SC 29412 is a neighborhood with a high flood risk, which may be a significant concern for potential residents. While it has some charm, the lack of walkability and limited transit options may also be drawbacks for some. However, for those who value a car-dependent lifestyle and are willing to take on the flood risk, this neighborhood may still be a viable option.
