"Green" Housing in Charleston SC Charleston SC Real Estate Charleston South Carolina Real Estate has gotten on the "green" bandwagon. Buyers searching in the tri-county area now have a wide selection of homes to choose from that are environmentally friendly, healthy and energy-efficient. Terms such as Earthcraft certified, LEED certified, Energy Star rated and HERS rated are becoming more common as builders and sellers market their homes and neighborhoods. Energy-Efficient Mortgages might provide an attractive option for those looking to purchase or refinance homes that meet specific "green" requirements. As a starting point, I have listed several Charleston area neighborhoods and builders that are incorporating some degree of "green" into the construction practices and features of their homes.
