Welcome to the North Central Neighborhood Association in historic Charleston, SC.

The NCNA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that dates back to 1936 and is the first neighborhood group officially recognized by the city of Charleston.

About Us

We’re Here For You.

Community Updates

Our quarterly meetings bring together local leaders, city officials, business owners, community advocates, and more to inform us about local happenings and neighborhood issues.

North Central’s Voice

North Central residents want to ensure our neighborhood remains a wonderful place to live. That’s why we invite developers to our meetings to present plans and obtain feedback.

Local Advocacy

We organize major campaigns like our Legacy Tree Program, but we also support block cleanups, crime prevention, pedestrian safety, city planning, water access, and more.

Plant A Legacy Tree

A Green Plan For the Future of North Central

In cooperation with the City of Charleston, the NCNA helps raise money to plant and care for space-appropriate trees in our neighborhood — in your yard or donated to a designated High-Impact spot.

Testimonials

I was so inspired and impressed that I had to be the first to donate a tree — and I don’t even live in the neighborhood.

– West Ashley Attendee

The best neighborhood meeting — in the best venue — I’ve ever been invited to.
