Charleston’s Affluent Neighborhoods to Watch Out For
- South Hills – Home to established estates and professionals with sizeable retirement accounts. Concentrated wealth here can be a target for Ponzi-style schemes or unauthorized trading.
- Fort Hill – Known for scenic views and higher-end properties. Investors may hold complex portfolios, heightening the risk of excessive trading or misrepresentation by unscrupulous advisors.
- Kanawha City – A mix of residential and commercial growth, often attracting medical professionals and University of Charleston faculty with large 403(b) or 401(k) funds. This concentration can lead to private placement fraud concerns.
- East End – Historic homes and revitalized developments draw both long-term residents and newer investors. Limited financial oversight can create an opening for broker misconduct.
