Why the seller loves living here:
The things I love about Goose Creek are a short drive to The Joe to watch the Riverdogs, to the airport to pick up visiting friends, to the outlet malls for some great deals, Sullivan's Island which is laid back for a beach and, of course, Charleston and King Street, The Battery, The Market, Charleston Music Hall, Dock Street Theatre, and any walking tour south of Broad Street.
We love to eat at - well it’s close to
Charleston so it is hard to narrow it down to the top 25! In Goose Creek you
can't beat Gilligan's Seafood. In North Charleston you have all the chains you would
ever want. AND then there is Charleston: Husk (farm to table) Hanks (Seafood),
Justine's (Fried Chicken) Rutledge Cab Company (yes it’s a place to eat),
Hominy Grill (the big nasty - a great breakfast), Palmetto Cafe (She Crab Soup
- the best), Poe's Tavern (fish tacos, or nachos on Sullivan's Island) Toast for breakfast, 82 Queen, McCrady’s, High Cotton, SNOB, Hyman's (very busy! You can't beat their fried whole flounder), Planters Inn,
Butcher and the Bee (upper King Street is popping with newer places) and the
list goes on.
When we bought the property we were drawn to
Goose Creek because of its location. It’s tucked away and private, but close to
everything in Goose Creek and easy to access North Charleston shopping, I-26,
airport, outlet mall and you have your choice of several beaches (Folly and
Sullivan).
The community is growing so it’s a great investment as well as a great place to
call home.
The Charleston area is one of a kind. It is
historic and living at the same time. All the old homes and buildings as a
beautiful background to do life in 2015. A nice dinner in Charleston can take
you back to another place in time and then hit the streets for great shopping
and everything you need is close by.
I love the "walking" nature of the city. Park the car and you can enjoy a while day of diverse activity before you get back in the vehicle.
But if you want to drive - don’t miss the gorgeous plantations. MiddletonPlace, Magnolia Gardens and Drayton Hall will delight any history buff.
A few other things I can mention are the
southern charm of the people and the town, the eclectic mix of people from all
over the world and the fact that most people who move here like people! If you
are a quiet person, Charleston has plenty of spaces to enjoy peace and
solitude. If you are a people person you can find a world of people to make
friends at work, play, school, church or community activities.
For runners, Charleston is a flat land dream - no hills. But if you need
the challenge of a hill then there is no more majestic view than
running/walking across The Ravenel Bridge. Try the Cooper River Bridge Run in
the spring time - 35,000 runners, dozens of bands and a great after race party
in Charleston.
Whether you enjoy the beach, shopping, historic
tours, people watching, golf, fishing, running, biking, walking, or antiques,
we have found it all nearby to our home in Goose Creek.
