I'm excited to introduce you to the charm and history of Harleston Village, a neighborhood in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. With streets named after prominent figures from the past and a history dating back to the late 17th century, Harleston Village is steeped in the rich heritage of the region.

This neighborhood is home to several historic "firsts", including the College of Charleston, established in 1770, which is the oldest educational institution in the state and the oldest municipal college in the nation. The neighborhood is also known as "Harleston Green," a nod to America's first golf club, which was located here​.

At the heart of Harleston Village, you'll find Colonial Lake Park, a picturesque public space that's perfect for family outings, dog walking, jogging, and simply enjoying the outdoors. Other amenities include Moultrie Playground and Cannon Park, offering tennis and basketball courts, a baseball field, and picnic areas​.

Based on feedback from residents, Harleston Village is appreciated for its walkability, dog-friendliness, and well-kept yards. Residents enjoy easy access to restaurants and grocery stores, and the community spirit is evident during the holiday season. The area is seen as a great place to live, offering quiet streets and a friendly neighborhood vibe​.
