Mount Pleasant's Tremendous Growth = New Schools

BY CREATURO & ASSOCIATES of Century 21 Properties Plus

Because Mount Pleasant grew so fast, the Charleston county school district had to make plans for new schools. Even before the new Wando High School was finished, the need for a second High School was already being felt.

Moultrie Middle School and Mount Pleasant Academy are currently under construction and should be open by fall 2009. The district plans to start construction on a new Whitesides Elementary School slated to open in 2010.

A new Jennie Moore Elementary School and Laing Middle School and the creation of a second high school are also in the district's future capital improvement plans.

According to the Post and Courier,

"Bill Lewis, school district chief of operations for capital programs, said additional land has been purchased at the Jennie Moore Elementary site to make room for a new Laing Middle School. The schools would share campuses, just as Cario Middle School and Charles Pinckney Elementary School do in Park West. But the district has yet to identify funding to build a new Laing".

Moultrie Middle School and Mount Pleasant Academy students are currently using the old Wando High School campus. When those students move into their new buildings next fall, old Wando would be available for swing space, making way for the Jennie Moore and Laing campus to be built.

Horlbeck Creek Neighborhood in Mount Pleasant SC

By Creaturo & Associates

Mount Pleasant, SC has a hidden gem of a neighborhood. It's called Horlbeck Creek. Horlbeck Creek is a community of custom homes with some waterfront lots with docks. It's probably the least expensive waterfront community in the area. The neighborhood was established in the 1990's, however there are still lots available to be built on. The community has a crabbing dock.
The homes that are built are low country style with lots of porches and natural surroundings. All of the homes were built with multi-car parking underneath the home. This gives you tons of extra storage for your boat, kayak and toys. The neighborhood has access to Horlbeck Creek and the sunsets are spectacular.
Creaturo and Associates of Century 21 Properties Plus currently has a lot for sale in Horlbeck Creek. 1347 River Otter Landing Ct is a beautiful cul-de-sac lot on .43 acres of waterfront land. The vacant lot is on deep water with a dock permit available and approved for a 90' walkway, pier head and boat lift. Priced to sell, this is currently the least expensive lot to build on.

Because I love to eat, the annual taste of Charleston event at Boone Hall Plantation is my one of my favorite Charleston events. Taste of Charleston has been named one of the “top 20 events in the southeast” by the Southeastern Tourism Society. And when asked visitors of Charleston name the food and the history as the main reasons they visit the area.

The main event will be at Historic Boone Hall plantation, with two other events including a "Iron Chef" competition being held Downtown. Forty of Charleston's best restaurants will be showcased at the event.

The main event will be held on Sunday October 12.
