Radcliffeborough pairs university energy with historic streetscapes, right in the heart of Charleston. Centered around leafy blocks between King and Rutledge, the neighborhood blends 19th‑century single houses and piazzas with a lively everyday rhythm. On the eastern edge, Upper King’s restaurants and boutiques are an easy stroll, while weekend outings often orbit the green lawns and events at Marion Square, detailed by the City of Charleston’s page for the park.
Academics and arts give Radcliffeborough its daily soundtrack. The College of Charleston anchors the area, with exhibitions at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art and performances at the Sottile Theatre. Families appreciate access to options within the Charleston County School District, including downtown magnets like Buist Academy and nearby high schools such as Burke. Healthcare professionals prize the quick connection to the MUSC Health medical district just to the west.
Daily life feels convenient. The DASH shuttle from CARTA loops through downtown at no cost, bike lanes crisscross the streets, and dining, coffee, and services cluster along King, St. Philip, and Coming. Neighbors enjoy proximity to cultural venues and festivals, with parks and waterfront promenades a short ride away. Bordering enclaves—Cannonborough-Elliotborough and Mazyck-Wraggborough—add even more culinary and arts options within minutes.
Whether you’re drawn by historic architecture, walk-to-everything convenience, or the collegiate pulse, Radcliffeborough offers an engaging downtown lifestyle.
