Yes, they are very different and are clearly not interchangeable. One was a planned city founded by the British, the other grew haphazardly and was founded by Bajans. It's reflected in their architecture. The only commonality is food and Coastal locations.
They’re both just boutique Southern port cities. There are nuances but close enough neither can be considered among the most unique cities in America

That's your opinion, and I totally disagree. They are both unique and old enough to be included. What other Southeastern cities from the Colonial-era are similar?

Having two extremely similar places is enough to make a place not unique. But Alexandria VA.
I think I can see what Btown means, Charleston and Savannah seem similar to each other.
But what makes them unique is there are something like 300+ cities in the USA with a population of at least 100,000. Most of them are fairly generic 20th century suburban with some glass office buildings type cities.
When you look at it from that level, you realize that Charleston and Savannah are indeed pretty unique. Indeed, most cities on the OPs list are.

I completely agree, and this is the first time I've disagreed with btownboss4 since I've been here! He's one of my favorite posters. Differing opinions are healthy.
Not everywhere. They are very rare west of the CT River.
Springfield, New Haven, Burlington, Sanford don’t really have them.
If you have a definition that tight for unique housing styles that drops off within 100 miles) disqualifies a place. Then there are 0 unique styles in the United States
I mean you could make a genuine case for SF
