North Charleston Theater Site to Become Affordable Housing

The deserted movie theater located at 2055 Eagle Landing Blvd., within walking distance of Northwoods Mall, in North Charleston is now the future site of the city’s next public affordable housing neighborhood.

The North Charleston Housing Authority recently purchased the 6.5-acre site for $3.85 million. The sale closed in late October.

Jeremy Erling, the housing agency’s executive director, said the group is currently searching for a developer to build “much needed” affordable housing units on the site. Preliminary studies suggested 130 units, but the end count could be higher or lower.

The authority has been on the hunt for a large property since last summer. After a few offers fell through, Erling said that the former theater site was an ideal fit.

The site has been vacant since 2006, when the discount North Charleston Cinema 10 closed. At one time a hotel was planned to be built but it never materialized.

Real Outdoor adventure near you!

Woodlands

Real Places Deep in the Francis Marion National Forest.

I am(that’s me, Travis Glaze) an avid nature lover and woodsman. Yes, I am also a Realtor with Carolina One Real Estate in Goose Creek, SC. When I’m not helping a client with the purchase or sale of a new home or other real estate need, which is where I spend the bulk of my time, I am exploring new places and looking for new things outdoors. Whether it’s hunting and fishing on the many public access lands and rivers or just being immersed in the unrivaled beauty of our Low Country swamps, I’m outside every chance I get. I tend to seek out the more primitive and less traveled places to wander about, however, I’m not opposed to the occasional well groomed trail for casual and relaxing exploration.

The Charleston area is home to some of the most beautiful and unique outdoor spaces to be enjoyed anywhere.

Recently while surfing the web I came across the website; Santee Cooper Country, this site included information to areas open to the public that I had not seen before, others on the list I am quite familiar with. I discover new areas and activities to explore all of the time. I want to share those Real Places so everyone who has an interest in being outdoors can enjoy them as well.

History of the Santee Cooper Lakes

The Santee Cooper lake system consists of two lakes, Marion 110,600 acres and Moultrie 60,400 acres. These two lakes are joined by the 6.5 mile diversion canal. These world-class fishing lakes were created from 1939 to 1942 for a hydroelectric project by the South Carolina Public Service Authority, commonly known as “Santee Cooper” because of the two river systems the project connected.

The lakes vary from shallow swamps and blackwater ponds to vast open water with a multitude of underwater structures. Lake Marion was not completely cleared, as a result fishermen will find there are thousands of stumps, standing dead tree trunk and live cypress trees. Lake Moultrie is more open and is 14 miles across at its widest point.

We are not land locked in Santee Cooper Country. Visitors can travel from Lake Marion through the Diversion Canal to Lake Moultrie. At the end of Lake Moultrie lies the 75-foot high Pinopolis Lock which will lower boaters down to the Tailrace Canal which takes you to the Cooper River and on to Charleston. The trip from the confluence of the Congaree and Wateree Rivers to Charleston Harbor is 162 miles.

Our lake system is a nature lovers paradise. The outdoor enthusiast can camp at one of our 29 campgrounds or on a pristine island, take a tour boat or guided fishing trip, canoe and kayak the backwater swamps, Edisto and Cooper rivers or hike trails through our state parks and National Wildlife Refuge. Listen…nature is calling you!
