Charleston, South Carolina

Charleston, South Carolina has been named one of America’s healthiest cities. The port city absolutely excels when it comes to health and wellness. The city is a prime example of a city that makes healthy lifestyle choices simple. Charleston is a very walkable city, and it is home to many teams, sports, and fitness clubs. Parade Magazine reported in 2020 that Charleston is home to the largest population of plant-based eaters. 

Charleston sits on the Charleston Harbor, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean formed by the meeting of the Ashley, Cooper, and Wando rivers. This, along with numerous greenspaces, offers plentiful opportunities for healthy activities, whether residents want to walk their dog, play some water sports, or go for a run with the harbor as their background. During the summer, the streets in the Hampton Park Terrace neighborhood are even closed to traffic so that residents can walk and cycle freely. If your preferred workout is in a gym, the city is ranked highly for number of gyms per household.
