Once accessible only via daily ferries from the peninsula, this coastal city with its protected harbor, natural beauty and perfect climate is one of the best places to live in the nation. Mt. Pleasant has maintained its "small town" feeling, despite tremendous growth in recent years.
Now the 6th largest city in the State, this town was recently named one of the most desirable places to live in the United States. Couple that with one of the best school systems in the county and it’s easy to see why growing families, baby boomers and retirees find Mt. Pleasant SC to be a special place to call home.
Mt. Pleasant SC is a community rich with history and with culture. The historic district called the Old Village boasts grand homes that rival those found in downtown Charleston. Patriots Point Maritime and Naval Museum, home of the USS Yorktown, provides for a day full of seafaring history. Shem Creek is home to a fleet of local fishing & shrimp boats, deep sea fishing boats to charter as well as award winning restaurants. The newly built Towne Centre, an urban outdoor mall is a shopping and dining destination for both residents and visitors.
