Cannonborough

Tucked in the middle of Charleston’s west side sits Cannonborough, a historic district that’s equally laid-back and abuzz with activity. Known for its easy-going residents, trendy shops and off-the-beaten-path restaurants, Cannonborough is a great neighborhood to stay in for those looking to rub elbows with locals while still taking in the best Charleston has to offer. While first settled in 1785, Cannonborough has experienced major revitalization over the past few decades leading to an area that’s dotted with both awe-inspiring historic homes and exciting modern builds, longstanding neighborhood corner stores and hip coffee shops.

Though mostly residential, the borough is flanked on one side by Charleston’s medical district and upper King Street on the other ensuring ever-present energy on the streets. Visitors and locals alike flock to this much-loved area to sample some of the many creative culinary establishments, enjoy the many community gardens and marvel at one of the most architecturally diverse areas in Charleston proper.
