I keep hearing that North Charleston is a run-down area with high crime, however when I was looking at homes online in North Charleston I found some really nice homes in what appear to be nice neighborhoods. Is North Charleston really that bad?
There are some nice neighborhoods. Most of them are in the Dorchestor 2 school district a plus for re-sale. Check out Coosaw Creek, Whitehall, Cedar Grove, Taylor Plantation, Indigo Fields to name a few.
According to a site map, North Charleston does appear to extend quite a bit, so I guess it makes sense that some addresses are N. Chas but not necessarily right in town.
they've definitely done wonders with much of the park circle area these last few years, but even at that if you plan on doing an evening walk you had better contain it to your immediate area... some of our worse drug infested slums are within earshot of park circle... as the sun drops drive a few blocks outside of it on e.montague ave, or spruill ave, or mixon etc etc...
but then again, many of those people that made areas like that bad are moving into the suburbs now... the guy next door had his truck stolen out of his driveway night before last, the house a block and a half up was in the news because they found a pot farm growing in his house, and stores 1/4 mile up in both directions were arm robbed in the last week on trolley rd... all from the thugs that have moved into apartments near here as their families fled areas like NChuck for a "better life", they just brought the trash out here with them...
find an area you like and plant roots, don't like it move again
NChuck has its nice areas but drive around it... especially at night...
as you drive in and out of those nice areas you will notice a sharp contrast
This is a load of melarky from someone that probably doesn't come up this way much less live here in N. Charleston.
There are a LOT more nice, friendly, well designed and occupied N. Charleston neighborhoods than there are "run-down, high crime areas".
The problem is where they drew the line between Charleston and North Charleston.
As it stands, that live runs right threw the more 'industrial' border between the two cities.
As such, the exact same trend in that area for North Charleston applies to and can be said about Charleston.
Ignorance breeds ignorance and the quoted is a prime example.
When you paint with that wide a brush, you tend to make those kind of statements.
