Cannonborough- Elliottborough in downtown historic Charleston SC can be confusing for most people unfamiliar with the neighborhoods of downtown, and frankly us too sometimes. Regardless if you just split the neighborhood up into their respective blocks of Cannonborough by itself or Elliottborough by itself the result is still the same lovely city of Charleston South Carolina. These two areas of downtown Charleston are usually intertwined as one “community” to the locals, but if you want to buy or live in the peninsula of Charleston you can’t go wrong with either one.
