More About Mt. Pleasant, SC Real Estate
Perfect Location
Mt. Pleasant is located just 20 minutes north of historic downtown Charleston and runs along the Atlantic coast behind the Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island beaches. Because Mount Pleasant has such a great location, you can get to downtown Charleston and to two of Charleston's best beaches in a matter of minutes from almost anywhere in Mt. Pleasant.
Public Schools in Mt. Pleasant, SC
Mount Pleasant has some of the best public schools in all of Charleston. This factor alone accounts for a steady demand for Mt. Pleasant real estate, which makes for good resale value down the road. For more info on public school rankings in Charleston, GreatSchools.com is a good resource. Also, check out the Charleston County School District's website. You'll find 5 public elementary schools in Mt. Pleasant: Belle Hall, Charles Pinckney, Jennie Moore, James Edwards, and the new Mamie Whitesides.
Mt. Pleasant has 3 middle schools: Thomas Cario, Laing, and Moultrie. The new Wando High School serves all Mt. Pleasant residents. With more than 3,000 students, Wando is the largest high school in Charleston. It has a fantastic reputation for its academics, after school activities, and athletic program. In fact, the South Carolina Annual School Report Card (which rates the state's public schools) has given Wando High the highest rating possible for five years in a row.
Top Neighborhoods in Mt. Pleasant
Home buyers tend to choose Mt. Pleasant because it has a great selection of homes for sale - especially newer homes. And most of the Mt. Pleasant neighborhoods have full amenities like swimming pools and tennis courts. We've included below the 6 best communities in Mt. Pleasant. We've based this list off many years' worth of feedback from buyers - so these tend to be the consistent favorites. You can follow the link to find more pictures and info on these as well as the current MLS listings for homes for sale in these neighborhoods.
Hamlin Plantation has great newer homes with lots of square footage. Buyers tend to really like the home designs, especially the Low Country styles with double front porches. Practically the entire neighborhood was built by John Wieland, which is one of the best large scale residential builders in Charleston. You'll find little parks designated in the subsections, giving each section its own designated green space. The Sound is the only marshfront subsection in Hamlin Plantation at this point. You'll find some marshfront lots for sale in Waverly where homes will be built in the future, though. Many of the homes in Hamlin Plantation have expansive marsh views but not good water access. Hamlin is ideal for home buyers in the $400-700K price range. Few other neighborhoods in Mt. Pleasant will give you a better built house for the money in this range.
Park West is by far the largest neighborhood in Mt. Pleasant. Because of the sheer number of homes in Park West, you'll find houses, townhouses, and condos for sale in a very wide price range - from the low $100s to $1 million plus. Park West is overall one of the most affordable communities in Mt. Pleasant, and you can get a lot of home for the money compared to other subdivisions. The amenities are not as nice as the others we've included in this top 6 list, but HOA costs are also the most affordable. Park West is like a small town unto itself because you can meet most of your needs without having to leave the neighborhood. Within its entrance, you'll find a Publix grocery store, a hair salon, car wash, veterinary clinic, dry cleaners, a law firm, and 3 public schools that serve kids aged from kindergarten to 8th grade.
Rivertowne is divided into 2 main sections - Rivertowne on the Wando and Rivertowne Country Club. The first is a waterfront community overlooking the Wando River in Mt. Pleasant. It has a mix of deep water homes with private docks as well as traditional homes on interior lots. All residents in this section have access to the neighborhood's dock (it's one of the largest community docks in Mt. Pleasant). You'll find some marshfront homes in the Country Club section, but the primary focus here is the golf course. It was designed by Arnold Palmer and recently hosted the LPGA Tour. The semi-private golf club offers memberships, but walk-ons are also welcome.
Dunes West is the main gated community in Mt. Pleasant. Overall, it's one of the nicest neighborhoods you'll find in Charleston, and it has some of the best amenities. Dunes West is ideal for buyers in the $500K plus price range as well as buyers wanting large, estate-sized lots. The Arthur Hills designed golf course has a Low Country feel and is considered one of the main golf courses in Charleston. You'll get a feel for its Southern charm as you drive under hundred year old live oaks leading up to the golf club house, which was built where the antebellum Lexington Plantation once stood.
When you drive through I'on, you'll feel like you're on the streets of historic downtown Charleston. In a neighborhood where the average home price runs just over $1 million, no expense is spared in recreating the classic details that make Charleston style homes so unique. So, if you want the look of Old World Charleston but not the upkeep of a two hundred year old house (or the traffic of downtown Charleston), I'on should be at the top of your list for neighborhoods to see in Mt. Pleasant. I'on is also conveniently located South of Hwy 41. It's one of the closest Mt. Pleasant neighborhoods to the peninsula that you'll find.
Old Village is one of the only neighborhoods in Mt. Pleasant with historic homes dating back to the early 1800s. In a suburb that's known for its new construction homes and large scale commercial shopping centers, Old Village has preserved its heritage well since its founding in 1680. You can explore the old Pitt Street commercial district, or walk the Pitt Street Bridge which connected Mt. Pleasant to Sullivan's Island by trolley from 1898 to 1927. Old Village is located just over the Ravenel Bridge in Old Mt. Pleasant, so this neighborhood is about the closest that you can live to peninsular Charleston. In fact, many of these homes overlook the Charleston Harbor.
Things to Do in Mount Pleasant
Whether you're wanting a day of shopping, golfing, boating, or sight seeing, Mt. Pleasant has just about everything you could possibly want. You can catch a movie at Towne Centre, walk or bike the trails at the County Park, visit a plantation, or take your pick at one of the many restaurants.
When you've exhausted all your possibilities in Mt. Pleasant (which could take months), you can always go to the beach or downtown Charleston. The closest beaches are Isle of Palms (pictured right) and Sullivan's Island. Both have public beach accesses scattered throughout and are only about a 10 minute drive from Mt. Pleasant. Downtown Charleston is about 20 minutes south of Mount Pleasant.
Boone Hall is one of the oldest working plantations in the country. In fact, the plantation has designated U-Pick sections where visitors can select their veggies from fields that have been growing crops for more than 320 years. This is a great way (for kids especially) to experience farming firsthand. Around Halloween each year, Boone Hall hosts Fright Nights, which is the largest haunted house event in the state. (For a less scary Halloween experience, check out the corn maze which is also held annually!) The plantation also has your traditional house tour as well as beautiful gardens to explore throughout the year.
At the Patriot's Point Naval and Maritime Museum, you can tour the aircraft carrier Yorktown (the Fighting Lady from World War II). Since this is located on the Mt. Pleasant side of the Charleston Harbor, it has incredible views of the harbor, the Ravenel Bridge, and downtown from the main deck. You'll see a great collection of war planes in the hangar bay and the flight deck of Yorktown. With admission you can also tour the submarine Clamagore (which served during the Cold War) and see the Medal of Honor Museum.
With the great water access you'll find in Mt. Pleasant, boating is a popular pastime. And you don't have to have a private dock at your house in order to enjoy the water. Several Mount Pleasant neighborhoods have community docks and boat ramps reserved for residents only. And you'll find more public boat ramps scattered throughout Mt. Pleasant as well. Another good option is the Charleston Harbor Resort and Marina (pictured left), which offers memberships and has an unbeatable location on the harbor.
Mt. Pleasant has several good parks to choose from. The best is perhaps the park at Patriots Point (pictured). It plays host to kids' recreational leagues as well as some of the College of Charleston sports teams such as baseball and tennis. Palmetto Islands County Park is also popular and features more than 900 acres of nature trails, open fields, picnic sites, playgrounds (including a water park), a dog park, and a dock for fishing or relaxing.
The park at the end of Pitt Street in Old Mt. Pleasant is a favorite among locals. Prior to the Revolutionary War, a plank bridge made from barrels spanned across the inlet separating Mt. Pleasant from Sullivan's Island. Later in 1864, the crew of the Hunley used the bridge to test dive the submarine in Breach Inlet. In 1898, the bridge was rebuilt so that a trolley could be used to carry passengers across the inlet. The bridge has since been converted into a park.
If you enjoy playing golf, Mt. Pleasant is one of the best areas of Charleston to live because it has the most choices. The Patriots Point Links golf course overlooks the harbor. More options in Mt. Pleasant include the courses at Dunes West, Rivertowne Country Club, Charleston National, and Snee Farm. Plus you'll find 17 additional golf courses scattered throughout Charleston.
Towne Centre is the main outdoor shopping mall in Mt. Pleasant. It has over 65 shops, including Old Navy, Belk, Ann Taylor Loft, Coldwater Creek, Gap, and Barnes and Noble. Its Regal Cinema has 16 individual theaters with stadium seating and plays all of the big blockbusters. Towne Centre also has some of the big chain restaurants in Mt. Pleasant like Longhorn Steakhouse and Qdoba.
Mt. Pleasant is second only to downtown Charleston when it comes to shopping and restaurants. You'll find just about everything you need without ever having to leave Mt. Pleasant. The Belle Hall Shopping Center is located off Long Point Road and has Moe's Southwest Grill, Starbucks, Ross, and Petsmart, just to name a few. The Shoppes at Seaside Farms is just off the Isle of Palms Connector and has a Target as well as locally owned shops and business offices. The Market at Oakland (off Hwy 17) is one of the newest shopping centers and offers a Walmart and a Kohl's.
After a day of boating, dock at Shem Creek and eat locally caught seafood at one of the restaurants located directly on the water. (There's also quite a bit of parking space if you'd prefer coming by land.) On this side of Charleston, you'll find several restaurants where you can pull your boat up to the restaurant to dock while you eat. In addition to Shem Creek in Mt. Pleasant, you can also go to the Boathouse at Isle of Palms or the Wild Dunes Yacht Harbor.
Shem Creek has some of the best local seafood in Charleston. Vickery's (shown below left) is one of our favorites, and it has fantastic views of downtown Charleston - whether you sit outside with the marsh breezes or inside in the air conditioning. Few areas of Mt. Pleasant show off the city's close proximity to downtown Charleston. You can watch barges coming into the harbor in the distance or admire the steepled outline of downtown while you eat.
