Actually Charleston isn't fully built out on the peninsula; it is urbanizing northward beyond the historic district. Further up, the area known as the neck, near the terminus of I-26, has historically been a bit run down and industrial, but now it's seeing new urban development. Prior to the recession, there was even a huge New Urbanist development proposed for that area and has recently been jumpstarted again:
