About Mount Pleasant

Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina is a community vibrant with history, charm, and breathtaking views. Located just across the bridge from downtown Charleston, for many years Mt. Pleasant was only accessible via daily ferries.

Mt. Pleasant boasts of a rich 300-year history and is home to many nationally recognized historical sites. In fact, the Old Village, the original center of town, is on the National Register of Historic Places. Many visitors to Mt. Pleasant have been taken with the charm of the beautifully restored homes from the colonial and antebellum periods. Alhambra Hall is located in the Old Village, and it is a calm, relaxing place to take photographs, enjoy a visit with the family, while taking in the fantastic view of the Charleston Harbor, Patriots Point as well as the City of Charleston.

While Mt. Pleasant has experienced tremendous growth in the past ten years, it has also preserved its heritage and small town feeling. The population is rapidly approaching 56,000 and the newcomers represent a good mix of retires, baby boomers and growing, young families. Many of the retires choose to spend their golden years here due to the fabulous golf courses, plethora of water based amenities such as fishing, shrimping, and sailing, mild year round climate, and state of the art medical facilities.

Picturesque Shem Creek is home to quaint shrimping and fishing boats and Mt. Pleasant residents can purchase the days catch right off the docks. Mt Pleasant is a community where residents of all ages feel right at home.
