Seconded on Charles-town. I live in Beaufort (about 1hr drive south). The other "bad" thing about Charleston is the bugs. The "no-see-ums" can drive you nuts.
In the last few years, the housing market here has gone INSANE. You should see how small and crappy the houses you get for $200k are. Blech!
I do like the area though. The people are great, and there is a lot to do. Good luck with your decision!
