Affordable Waterfront Homes around Charleston, SC
Of the 7,303 single family homes for sale in our MLS system, 315 of them have a dock. Of that 315, there are 52 that are priced under 500K. Which, to me, is exciting. There are at least three “fish camp” type places directly on the Edisto River that are priced less than 200K. I [...]
