Homes for sale in Charleston South Carolina don’t come cheap. There are really one three types of water front properties in the area: riverfront (since most homes on water originate from one of the two large rivers), creek front (creeks that come off one of those two rivers), and lastly those on the intracoastal (intercoastal) depending how you say it. True deep water homes usually come with a dock, or at least a dock permit where one can have a boat lift because otherwise why else would you pay all that for a house without easy access to putting your boat in the water whenever you wish. Very rarely are there many homes on waterfront under $500,000 that most really would want.
