Mount Pleasant

Mount Pleasant, SC, is just a ride across the iconic Ravenel Bridge from historic downtown Charleston and neighbors the beach towns of Isle of Palms and Sullivan’s Island. Once a small fishing village, this close-knit community offers so much more than its prime location.

Learn about Mount Pleasant

From charming historic homes in the Old Village with its quaint vintage pharmacy and Pitt Street fishing pier to sprawling planned communities with resort-like amenities, there are a wide variety of neighborhoods to choose from in Mt. Pleasant. You'll find golf, water view, and dock properties along the Wando River and the area’s many tidal creeks.

The median home price in Mount Pleasant is higher than the national average, but the quality of life in the area makes it worth the investment for many.

One of the highlights of the area is the abundance of outdoor recreation opportunities. Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park and Patriots Point (home of the USS Yorktown) offer breathtaking views of the harbor and downtown Charleston and are popular spots for events, picnicking, fishing, and relaxing.

Once a shrimping lane, picturesque Shem Creek Park is another local favorite, with a boardwalk and plenty of restaurants offering fresh seafood, stunning sunset views, and daily dolphin sightings. Palmetto Islands County Park has hiking and biking trails, kayak rentals, a water park, and a dog park. The iconic moss-draped oak allée and history of Boone Hall Plantation & Gardens draw tourists, residents, and filmmakers (most recently, The Notebook). Several annual festivals and concerts take place on the lush grounds.

Employment opportunities are fueled by the healthcare, hospitality, and technology industries. Companies such as Benefitfocus and Blackbaud have a strong presence in the area.

Wando High School is one of the top-ranked high schools in the state, with a wide range of extracurricular activities and programs. Several other highly-rated public and private schools are also available. Learn more at the tab below.
