I believe that Summerville is west of the Cooper. Is it really that bad there? If so, you might try Jim Isle, life is good here.

I said Charleston County west of the cooper, Summerville is in Dorchester county...

I thought I also added 'and East of the Ashley', but I guess I forgot that part....

I would not live in North Charleston. Look at the statistics of where most of the crime is committed in our town.

Well I live in North Charleston, specifically, Coosaw Creek Country Club. My husband and I moved here over 2 years ago from New Hampshire. We love the neighboorhood and the location. I would recommend it to anyone. There are currently 0ver 600 homes here, and about 50 or so listed for sale ranging from $299,900 up to $2.5mil. Very diverse as well.

Historic downtown, including south of Broad is east of the Ashley. You wouldn't want to live there?

The only thing i have notice is the speed trap the cops have on the street behind Kmart and the ramp to get on 26
being from DC that area should seem fine too you... a cpl yrs ago it seemed like there was a murder in that area every night for awhile, bad drug area after the sun sets... but DC has one of the highest crime/murder rates in the country so it shouldn't be a big deal to you...

funny how places where the govt has the toughest gun control also has the highest number of murders by firearms, like DC and Chicago etc etc... actual numbers, not per capita...

anyway, that place should be a walk in the park for you

Crime is really that bad downtown even in the nicest sections with burglar alarms?
