North Charleston has older neighborhoods such as Park Circle, with many houses from the 1940s and 1950s, and newer subdivisions farther out. In an older house, a remodel can mean dealing with old wiring and plumbing before the new finishes go in. The city reaches into Charleston, Dorchester and Berkeley counties, but inside city limits the City of North Charleston's Building Inspections office issues the permit.
