About Harleston
Village
Harleston Village, located between Broad Street and the Ashley River, is a historic and residential Charleston neighborhood with a leafy streetscape and a waterfront edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Colonial Lake and the Meeting Street corridor, where joggers circle the water beside porch-lined blocks and small cafes. The Battery and White Point Garden frame the southern end with grand piazza houses and harbor views. The Charleston Music Hall and the Gaillard Center add a cultural pulse near the northern edge. Brick sidewalks, wrought-iron gates, and deep setbacks define the architecture. Parks and water views shape a walk-first rhythm.
