BUYING AN APARTMENT IN CHARLESTON
Low-maintenance living near world-class dining and the Medical University of South Carolina keeps demand strong. Monthly HOA fees run $300–$550 and usually cover exterior maintenance, flood insurance on the building, and amenity upkeep.
Lenders will require an HO-6 walls-in policy ($420 yr) plus a condo questionnaire. Because South Carolina uses a single attorney for closing, expect legal fees around $800 and a 30-day contract-to-close timeline.
Work with a REALTOR® who understands CTMLS status updates and can explain bylaws in an easy-to-understand way.

Buyers can typically use conventional, FHA, or VA loans; however, some condo associations have specific criteria that must be met (e.g., a minimum owner-occupancy rate). It’s best to consult a local lender who’s familiar with Charleston’s condo market to confirm eligibility.
Many Charleston condos include at least one dedicated parking space, but garages or additional spots may be limited. Larger complexes often feature shared amenities—like pools, fitness centers, and clubhouses—while smaller buildings may have fewer communal features. Check the HOA documents for details.
Typically, the HOA’s master policy covers the building’s exterior and common areas, while buyers need “walls-in” coverage for personal property and interior fixtures. Always verify the coverage boundaries to avoid gaps between the HOA’s policy and your personal plan.
