Everyone's looking at the Lowcountry

Historic homes and moss-dripping properties beckon in abundance across the Charleston region.   People continue to flock to the area not only in search of jobs among the plethora of high-caliber companies setting up shop in the Lowcountry, but also for its quality of life, with sun-kissed beaches, growing fine-dining options, top-notch schools and plenty of outdoor activities.   Shopping opportunities are expanding, new homes are being built and some people are returning, after leaving only to realize the Charleston lifestyle can’t be replaced.
