About Charleston New Homes Directory

The Charleston-North Charleston Metropolitan Statistical Area consists of three counties: Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester. Charleston has several large suburbs. North Charleston is nearly as populated as Charleston itself and ranks as the third largest city in the state; Mount Pleasant and Summerville are the next largest suburbs.

Charleston has a humid subtropical climate, with mild winters, hot, humid summers, and significant rainfall all year long. Summer is the wettest season; almost half of the annual rainfall occurs during the summer months in the form of thundershowers, which is an effect similar to the monsoons found in Southern Asia. Fall remains relatively warm through November. Winter is short and mild, and is characterized by occasional rain. Snow flurries seldom occur.

Greening the City of Charleston is an ongoing effort with which the Staff Green Team and the Charleston Green Committee (CGC) have been tasked. The Staff Green Team (SGT) in an internal group of 20+ staff members from various City Departments. The CGC is composed of a diverse group of members from the community including business owners, non-profit workers and scientists who are committed to sustainability and making Charleston a better place to live, work and play.
