Updated: How to find all the workforce housing for rent in Charleston County

Workforce housing is the name for apartments and houses rented below market rates for working people with moderate incomes. In Charleston County, where the need is great because market prices are high, most of that housing is owned by for-profit businesses or nonprofit groups.

Workforce housing is the name for apartments and houses rented below market rates for working people with moderate incomes. In Charleston County, where the need is great because market prices are high, most of that housing is owned by for-profit businesses or nonprofit groups.

Story continues below

The rental properties are scattered about and have many owners, which has made finding them — or even learning they exist — a challenge for potential renters. It's a challenge The Post and Courier addressed in 2023 with the first comprehensive list and resource for finding workforce housing, and this update adds more locations.

What's new in 2024?

There are now more than 350 workforce housing rentals in Charleston County, including more than 50 houses. Thousands more are coming, baked in to long-term development agreements the city of Charleston signed with some of the largest developers.

Priced Out

The largest numbers of existing workforce housing are apartments in some of Charleston's recently built complexes on the peninsula, and those were created due to the city's zoning incentives. Others were built or bought by nonprofit groups, and in some cases financed by local governments using federal funding.

So there might be four apartments in one building, 10 in another, some houses for rent in a different town, and no one keeping track of it all. This article and interactive online map collects them all in one place.

Knowing where they are and how to find them is crucial information in an area where rents and home prices have soared by 30 percent or more since 2020.

Workforce housing is not low-income housing, but it's income-restricted with rents lower than market rates.

Who can rent workforce housing?

Workforce housing typically has income limits for renters that are linked to the area's median income. Median income is the amount where half the people in the area earn more and half earn less. The amounts vary by household size and change yearly.

It may seem complicated, but it's the key to knowing who qualifies for what sort of below-market rate housing. Most workforce rental housing is restricted to those who earn no more than 80 percent of the area's median income — which is more than people might assume.

In 2024, 80 percent AMI (area median income) in Charleston County and throughout the tri-county metro area is:

Those who earn no more than those amounts would be eligible for workforce rental housing, with some exceptions.

What's the rent?

Most of the workforce rental housing in the county, more than 150 apartments, was created due to Charleston city zoning incentives that offer perks to developers, such as being allowed to construct taller buildings, in exchange for renting some apartments below market rates.

Priced Out

Six workforce apartments in Mount Pleasant were also prompted by zoning incentives, which are no longer available in that town.

The resulting apartments in Charleston and Mount Pleasant were created by, and are managed by, private developers.

Often, those apartments aren't mentioned on the websites of higher-end apartment complexes, which is where most of them are located. For nearly all of those workforce apartments, the income limit is 80 percent AMI, while the rent is 30 percent of the maximum qualifying income.

For example, for one person, the rent for a workforce apartment in Charleston should be no higher than $1,472.50 monthly this year. For a two-person household, it would be $1,682.50.

Those rents are higher than last year because median incomes have increased, and the rents are tied to a percentage of the allowable renter income.

Most of those apartments are in newer, upscale apartment buildings where market-rate rents are much higher.

Priced Out

In Mount Pleasant, the maximum rent allowed this year at the six workforce apartments at The Boulevard complex on Coleman Boulevard is $1,386 for a studio, $1,424 for a one-bedroom and $1,599 for a two-bedroom.

Those rents are lower than in 2024, because the town changed its standard for workforce rents.

Generally, workforce housing is meant to be affordable, and that's defined as not paying more than 30 percent of one's income for housing. In practice, workforce housing rents are often 30 percent of the maximum qualifying income, but most renters earn less than the maximum allowed, so they can and often do spend more than 30 percent on rent.

Apartment locations

While many workforce housing apartments are located on the Charleston peninsula, others can be found in North Charleston, West Ashley and Mount Pleasant. Workforce rental houses can be found in North Charleston, West Ashley and Hollywood.

Priced Out

Here are the apartments available (if there's a vacancy) to those earning no more than 80 percent AMI, which is $58,900 for one person and $67,300 for two.

These are also 80 percent AMI apartments, but with age restrictions. Tenants must be at least 55 years old.

Different income rules

Two apartment complexes on the Charleston peninsula are exceptions to the 80 percent AMI standard. One requires lower incomes, and one allows higher incomes.

In addition, the Charleston Housing Authority owns at least 66 apartments in Charleston County and on Daniel Island in the Charleston city limits that are meant to be rented at below-market rates as workforce housing.

Those can be found listed on magnoliadowns.com, an arm of management company AMCS. Limited information is offered on the website, so consider using Google Maps to check locations. Apartments listed as "the Wando" and "the Cooper" but with no address are in a condominium complex on Daniel Island.

Priced Out

Vacancies in workforce housing rentals can be hard to find. Some complexes maintain waiting lists.

Houses and townhomes

There are 79 houses and townhomes rented as workforce housing, all them using the 80 percent AMI standard unless otherwise noted.

Priced Out

All of the largest developments underway in Charleston — Laurel Island, Point Hope, Magnolia and Long Savannah — have workforce housing requirements. As they get built, those agreements are expected to result in thousands of additional below-market-rate apartments and houses.

North Charleston has also adopted zoning incentives along a lengthy stretch of Rivers Avenue where the Lowcountry Rapid Transit high-speed bus line is planned. There, developers can avoid some land-use restrictions on density and minimum lot sizes if at least 20 percent of the units are workforce housing at the 80 percent AMI standard.

S.C. port agency sees cargo, financial rebound for new fiscal year

MORNING NEWSBREAK | The S.C. State Ports Authority (SPA) says it is hoping for a rebound when its new fiscal year starts July 1. After a year of obstacles slowing down cargo and tightening its budget, the SPA projects a 3% in container traffic over the next 12 months.

The current fiscal year is expected to finish with a 3.75% drop in container totals due to a combination of a software failure that shut down the port for about 72 hours in May, a construction project that reduced berth space at Wando Welch Terminal and global events like a drought in the Panama Canal that limited traffic.

Officials said the port expects to handle nearly 1.42 million boxes in the coming fiscal year, compared to 1.375 million containers the SPA is estimating for fiscal 2024.

If projections hold true, it would help the SPA swing from a projected $4.4 million loss in the current fiscal year to a $5.2 million gain in operating earnings for fiscal 2025, according to the plan.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - The City of Charleston is finalizing contracts for construction of a wet pond and pumping station that will reduce flooding at the intersection of Huger and King Streets.

Charleston Stormwater Management Department Director Matthew Fountain says people who live nearby, many in the affordable housing at the William Enston House, are all too familiar with the impact flooding has on the area.

“When we have storms, currently that intersection will be multiple feet deep and it will stay flooded for sometimes more than a day. So it’s a real impact. We also have a city fire station that’s just past the intersection and Huger Street that council keeps pointing out has a jon boat in it to try to do water rescues occasionally for people because the flooding is so bad in this area,” Fountain says.

The city secured $10 million in a South Carolina Infrastructure Improvement Grant, which it will augment with $9.6 million of its own money.

“That’s to build a what we call a wet well, which is basically like a very large pond to hold the water that then the pumps can pump out of the pump stick, and then the outfall pipes that will flow to the east under the overpass and into Newmarket Creek,” Fountain says.

Fountain says work will get going in the next few months, with a projected completion in Spring of 2026. While it’s a long project, he says it is much needed for many reasons.

“This one was such an important project because of sort of the nature of the peninsula. You know, King Street is a major highway basically in this section for north-south corridors, one of the evacuation routes, the access to the interstate in the area to major state road. Then Huger Street is one of the only cross streets of the peninsula in this area,” Fountain says.

The work isn’t expected to cause many road closures or require night work. Fountain says the department has already replaced stormwater pipes under the road when Charleston Water System also did a pipe replacement in recent years. Since the nearby affordable housing at Enston is on the National Registrar of Historic Places, the Board of Architectural Review set some aesthetic requirements for the project.

“It’s this very beautiful housing development that has a lot of historical value to it. That neighborhood will have sort of a park like element to it as well around the well, and make it aesthetically pleasing. So we’re not we’re not talking about more of like a traditional pump station where you think of a cinderblock building and a lot of heavy equipment. We’re making something that is an amenity to the neighborhood in addition to being a important piece of infrastructure,” Fountain says.

Carding a 16

In golf, a 16 is an embarrassingly high score — unless it’s referring to the number of Palmetto State courses that have made a new ranking of some of the best places to play the game.

In this instance, Golfweek recently released its top 200 U.S. tracts built in the modern era, defined as since 1960.

South Carolina is home to a whopping 16 of them, led by The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, which was rated at No. 14 overall and where the PGA Championship will return for third time in 2031.

All but two of the other layouts are along the coast between Georgetown County and Hilton Head Island. The exceptions are Sage Valley Golf Club near Aiken, which was tied for No. 49, and the Cliffs at Mountain Park in Travelers Rest, which was tied for No. 129.

The others that made Golfweek's cut are: Congaree in Ridgeland (tied for No. 24); Harbour Town Golf Links and Long Cove on Hilton Head (Nos. 59 and 70 respectively); Secession near Beaufort (tied for No. 86); Colleton River Club’s Pete Dye design in Bluffton (tied for No. 107). Old Tabby Links in Okatie (tied for No. 134); Cassique on Kiawah (tied for No. 147) May River at Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton; the River Course on Kiawah (tied for No. 176); Chechessee Creek in Okatie (tied for 187); Caledonia Golf & Fish Club on Pawleys Island (tied for No. 187); and Colleton River's Jack Nicklaus layout in Bluffton (tied No. 200).
