Charleston Living We think one of the best benefits of working at Blackbaud’s headquarters is living in Charleston. Alive with more than 330 years of dramatic history, from pirates and disasters in the early days to a growing economy today, Charleston is enjoying revitalization and has become a top area in which to live and visit. With a wide variety of cultural activities, from museums to theatres to arts festivals, and an abundance of outdoor recreational activities, including five major beaches, there is something for everyone in Charleston.
Downtown Charleston has the largest historic district in the United States. But that doesn’t mean that the city is standing still. Today Charleston is home to exceptional cuisine and hundreds of local restaurants, as well as a thriving tourism industry.
Some quick facts on Charleston:
- Cost of living index is lower than the national average, 96.9 on a scale of 100. In comparison, Washington, DC is at 140.
- Average temperatures are 75.3 degrees for a high and 54.2 degrees for a low.
