Discover the charm of Charleston, South Carolina's French Quarter, a neighborhood rich in history and culture. Nestled within the original "walled" city of Charleston, the French Quarter offers an exquisite blend of past and present. The neighborhood came to be known as the French Quarter in 1973, named for the high concentration of French merchants in the area's history.

A neighborhood alive with vibrant art galleries and commerce, the French Quarter is home to Charleston's Waterfront Park and an array of historic buildings. Prominent among them are the Pink House Tavern (circa 1712), the Old Slave Mart, the Dock Street Theatre, and the French Huguenot Church, which is the only surviving French Calvinist Congregation in the U.S. St. Philip's Episcopal Church, which houses the graves of notable figures such as Edward Rutledge, the youngest signer of the Declaration of Independence, and Vice President John C. Calhoun, is also located in this neighborhood.

The neighborhood is a walker's dream, with many residents enjoying the convenience of having amenities such as a deli, meat market, bakery, grocery store, and vegetable market all within a few blocks. The proximity to parks and the aquarium adds to the allure.
