South of Broad, located between the Battery and Broad Street, is a historic and waterfront Charleston neighborhood with grand piazza-lined mansions and quiet garden courtyards. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along East Bay Street near Rainbow Row, where carriage tours, galleries, and waterfront promenades set a polished, walkable rhythm. The Battery and White Point Garden frame the southern edge with palmettos, cannons, and harbor views. Narrow lanes such as Church Street and Meeting Street showcase Charleston single houses, wrought-iron gates, and pastel masonry. The Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon and the Gibbes Museum of Art anchor the cultural calendar. Waterfront paths along Murray Boulevard and the nearby Charleston City Marina keep the Lowcountry landscape in view.
