You'll love Charleston. Very active community, beautiful place. I'd stick with Mt Pleasant or West Ashley for living.. good groups of running, tri's, etc.
Lots of growth projected over next 20 years, not necessarily a good thing, but many others have come to visit, then stayed. It will continue.
Good luck and welcome to SC

Had to laugh at this. I live a half mile if the BRP in Asheville, but we spent new years in Charleston to ride in the warmth and flat. Mount pleasant is very cool, though it is a bit of a "roll up the sidewalks at sun down" kind of place. Riding out to the beach and around isle of palms and Sullivan's Island were great. Not by plan, but we never actually made it to downtown Charleston on this trip.

I grew up in Texas, and lived all over this continent, from Georgia to Alaska before settling in Asheville. I found a minority of people go to church regularly in any of those places, though the "bible belt" states do have more restrictive laws about booze.

Get a MTB if you didn't have one. Great group of riders in the area. The Low Country Fat Tire Freaks. There's a few decent trails in the area also.

Not a really big tri community but there are a few good bike shops and some good places to ride.

There's a small 70.3 in Mt.pleasant in the spring and a sprint series that runs through the summer in James island.

There's also the Oly dist race at Kiawah Island in mid-Sept every year for many yrs now.

Hey, (That's Hello in Charleston) welcome to Charleston. This is a great place to live and train. In Mt. Pleasant there are two public 25 meter pools and a pric=vate pool as well. The best rides are from the Trek store and the Try sports rides in MP. I like to make loops around IOP and Sullivan's Island on my own. You can run on the beach or over the bridge, also Park West Subdivision there's a network of multi-use paths. The local sprint has been running since 1986. We have awell devleoped tri scene here and afriendly community in general. Good luck with your move and don't forget to visit Indigo Creek Pet Supplies. My bro and I are the owners and both race locally.

MP has the best schools as well. My daughter is in 1st grade at Whitesides Elementary. There is also great support for home-schooling called Connections Academy. Yay Charleston!

Most start at The Trek store and stop at the Sewee outpost which is a couple miles away. Some people pick up the ride where it most convenient.

Would you describe these routes as flat and fast?

They couldn't be flatter. Mostly fast, but depends on the wind.
