I actually stay in a new construction hotel on Upper King for work. Don't find the area urban/unique at all. This is the general area:

The point is that the "charming" part of Charleston is very small, geographically, and isn't growing, even as the region booms. There's maybe 1 square mile of "old" in a metro of nearly one million, and there will still be 1 square mile whether the region has 100k or 10 million.
