The latest comes from Outside magazine, which recently included Charleston among it’s list of “Favorite Small Towns” in its “America’s Best Cities” feature.

On a mission to seek out metropolitan areas that offer a “cultural vibrancy, economic well-being, and overall quality of life,” the editors had this to say about Charleston:

“Chucktown is affordable (median home price, $235,000) and small (pop. 110,000) but comes with the vitality of a metropolis, thanks to its kaleidoscopic heritage and a happening downtown. And since it sits at the confluence of the Cooper and Ashley rivers and the Atlantic Ocean, it’s also prime watersport territory: There’s sailing in the harbor, sea-kayaking through the marshes of the Intracoastal Waterway, and surfing at Folly Beach.”
