8 Affordable Apartments coming to Liberty Hill, the oldest community in North Charleston, SC
The Lecque Legacy lives on.
The Lecque Family is one of the four founding families of Liberty Hill. Founded in 1871 by 4 freedmen, Liberty Hill is the oldest community in North Charleston. As the City of North Charleston continues to grow, the Lecques are doing their part to ensure that long-time residents of Liberty Hill can continue to live affordably in their neighborhood.
Metanoia is proud to be partners with the Lecque Family to construct Golden Dream Townhomes, consisting of 8 affordable apartments in Liberty Hill. Bringing this project to life advances neighborhood goals to establish quality housing and generate economic development.
So many neighborhood partners were supportive contributors in making this dream a reality!

Charleston Daily
Charleston Daily is a concept in community. Its mission is to promote, assist, and celebrate in everything Charleston, South Carolina. By partnering with businesses, community leaders, volunteers and events, we are spreading the love that is Charleston. As this city continues to grow and prosper, we want to help spread the message to all about how wonderful this community is. Charleston is about the people, community, water, land, history, heritage and the true southern warmth it brings with each and every day.
Please note the the Liberty Hill Community does not want anymore apartments being built. On Lecque Street alone last year were two murders. Apartments breed crime. Additionally, Liberty Hill families don’t live in the apartments. Transients live there and they don’t care about the Hill, it’s historical value or building generational wealth.
The community is planning affordable housing to build generational wealth for true residents. People who will upkeep their properties and build family structure.
As a member of the neighborhood association and as part of a 10 organization alliance, we do not or will not welcome anymore apartments.
Kind Regards
Quality and affordable housing for whom? The long-time generational people of N. Chas I hope! No mention of criteria on tenant selection leaves many a bit concerned on who will actually benefit from this project.
