Wagener Terrace and Hampton Park Terrace remain two of downtown Charleston’s most beloved “under-the-radar” neighborhoods. With charming Craftsman and American-Foursquare homes, tree-lined streets, and an easygoing neighborhood feel, the area attracts young professionals, first-time buyers, and anyone looking for classic Charleston character with a quieter pace.

At the heart of the community is Hampton Park, the peninsula’s largest green space—perfect for morning walks, afternoon jogs, picnics, or simply relaxing among the flowers. Sunset views along the Ashley River, especially near Lowndes Grove, add to the neighborhood’s peaceful appeal.

The area is walkable and bike-friendly, with quick access to downtown and nearby hotspots. Local favorites like Moe’s Crosstown Tavern, Park & Grove, Huriyali, Rodney Scott’s BBQ, Lewis Barbecue, The Harbinger, Pelato, and Vern’s are all close by, offering everything from casual eats to special-occasion dining.

Blending charm, green space, and great local spots, these neighborhoods offer a relaxed, connected Charleston lifestyle.
