Looking at George and Society—the downtown Charleston condo community at 21 George Street and 76 Society Street
(also marketed as XXI George)? You’re in one of the peninsula’s most practical lock-and-leave addresses: a block off King Street, tucked between King and Meeting, with a shared gated garage and the kind of walkability that makes a car feel optional on weeknights.
Built in 2007 as modern condominiums (not a historic-house conversion), the two buildings share one homeowners association and amenities—elevators, a fitness center, a landscaped courtyard with grilling, and a rooftop terrace with city and harbor views. The Society Street building is the boutique side (16 units); the George Street building is the larger sister (about 55–56+ units, depending on the source). Recent closed sales for updated two-bedroom units have largely clustered in the $1.0M–$1.25M+ range—always check the live feed below for what’s available today or see other condos for sale in downtown Charleston SC for more options.

Living at 21 George & 76 Society
George and Society condo development in beautiful downtown Charleston SC sits in the heart of downtown’s King Street corridor
—listings often associate the pocket with the Ansonborough neighborhood or the broader Historic District / City Market area. Day-to-day, what matters is the rhythm: College of Charleston buildings nearby, Gaillard Center and Marion Square a short walk, City Market and the French Quarter an easy stroll, and King Street dining and shopping essentially at your doorstep. A Walk Score of 99 has been cited on recent listing copy—and it tracks with how residents actually live here.
What residents typically share
- Gated garage parking under the buildings (often about "1.5 spaces" per home in marketing; many recent listings advertise one or two deeded spaces—confirm on the specific unit) However, you get two parking passes, and there are never a shortage of spaces, because so many units are second homes.
- Elevators, including garage-level access called out on Society Street homes
- Fitness center and a quiet interior courtyard with outdoor grilling
- Rooftop terrace for city and harbor views (listings note renovations and added rooftop convenience)
- Private balconies or terraces on many units; some Society Street second-level homes are marketed with oversized outdoor space
Original project marketing from Estates & Companies described two design personalities under one roof: a more contemporary urban feel on George Street and a warmer Charleston-inspired finish package on Society Street. The Society building also uses exterior walkway entrances on each level—something buyers notice on the first tour.
Pros & tradeoffs, framed honestly
Why buyers love it
- True downtown walkability without giving up secured garage parking
- Elevator mid-rise convenience with rooftop and courtyard amenities
- Lock-and-leave lifestyle suited to full-time residents, pied-à-terre owners, and College of Charleston–adjacent families
- Flood-map position outside the SFHA on current layers (still verify per unit)
What to weigh carefully
- Meaningful monthly regime fees and coastal insurance stacking
- No short-term rental income path under current association rules described publicly
- King Street energy, campus activity, and tourism density—street-facing vs courtyard-facing units can feel different
- Guest parking remains a peninsula puzzle even when your cars are covered
None of that is meant to scare you—it’s the same diligence we walk every downtown condo buyer and seller through.
