Mount Pleasant, SC: A Great Place to Live

Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, is only minutes northeast of Charleston and is also a quick trip from Daniel Island, Sullivan’s Island and the Isle of Palms. Local beaches and upscale communities draw those looking for the convenience and style of living Mount Pleasant offers.

Mount Pleasant was little more than a small town until well into the 20th century, populated in part by Charlestonians wealthy enough to afford summer homes on the other side of the Cooper River.

Mount Pleasant’s growing population supports an ever-expanding array of dining, shopping and entertainment opportunities. The state-of-the-art Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge has linked Mount Pleasant with Charleston since 2005, and extensive improvements are currently underway on Highway 17 in Mount Pleasant.
