North Charleston, SC
North Charleston is the industrial and logistics backbone of the Charleston metro, home to the Charleston International Airport, the Joint Base Charleston, and a dense cluster of logistics, distribution, and aerospace operations. For multifamily investors, North Charleston offers Charleston-market demand at acquisition prices that reflect its secondary status within the metro.
North Charleston's multifamily market is anchored by its industrial and military employment base. Joint Base Charleston — combining Air Force and Navy operations — creates a large military family housing demand. The airport and the I-26 logistics corridor add distribution and logistics workforce demand. Boeing's North Charleston campus brings aerospace manufacturing employment.
The North Charleston market offers more attractive acquisition pricing than the Charleston Peninsula or Mount Pleasant, with similar access to the metro's employment base. Assets near the Dorchester Road corridor and the Tanger Outlets area tend to perform consistently from the city's large workforce housing demand base.
