Joint Base Charleston was originally built in 1942 as Charleston Air Force Base. It has acted as Joint Base Charleston since 2009. The base shares its runways with Charleston International Airport, which is another plus because homes in North Charleston are a convenient and easy commute to the airport! Joint Base Charleston spans almost 21,000 acres, supports 67 Military Commands and Federal Agencies, and provides jobs for over 79,000 service men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces. Joint Base Charleston is an integral part of the North Charleston Community, and these service men and women along with their families would greatly benefit from living in close proximity to the base by way of homes in North Charleston.
