“NoMO” as it is affectionately known is an up-and-coming area of downtown Charleston SC which stands for North of Morrison. Once considered a “dangerous” low-income area, now has seen a boom in the last 10 years with new development and investment in the area. 

Extending into the popular Wagener Terrace neighborhood “NoMo” offers convenience to some of downtown’s coolest new bars and restaurants. A favorite of Millenials NoMo started its growth when investors built the highly popular university apartment just off the bridge. As that went up other investors began to purchase land on the north side of what was once undesirable property, and new restaurants with up and coming chefs began to spring up. Now there are tons of awesome dining options, even more housing investment, bars, parks & more.

Some refer to this area as the “Creative District” because it is also home to young hip tech companies that appeal to the millennial generation who grew up with the internet, cell phones, apps, and tech investment. Living downtown used to be the cool place to live, but with the “NoMo” area taking over as the new “hip spot” if you will, investors begin to flock to purchase properties outside of the crosstown. 

The Charleston Eatery writes: “from hollow buildings and empty parking lots to a trendy hub for creativity. This location, situated north of Huger Street in between Morrison Drive and Meeting Street, is suddenly filled with tech businesses, housing developments, and many of Charleston’s most popular restaurants and breweries. These 19 spots have helped lead the NoMo charge, with a focus on community and local growth.”
