Housing near suburban shopping centers offers an escape from crowded Charleston
Within about 100 yards of Renard Milford’s apartment there’s a grocery store, several restaurants and a number of shops.
It’s the sort of walkable convenience that cities are known for, but Milford lives in the suburbs.
Tenley Long moved from the Charleston peninsula to the same apartment complex, Oyster Park, located on the edge of a Mount Pleasant shopping center not far from Sullivan’s Island. She said there’s an urban feel to it but without the parking challenges of living downtown.
