East of downtown Charleston and across the Cooper River Bridge, lies the thriving coastal town of Mount Pleasant.  Originally a fishing village once accessed only by ferry from downtown, the old village of Mount Pleasant offers southern charm that can?t be duplicated in a new community.  Here one can go to the Pitt Street pharmacy and still get a float  or ride their bike a short distance to the beach of Sullivan?s Island.  It is next to Shem Creek where you can experience the taste of fresh local seafood off the boat.  It is the ?Hidden Treasure? of Mount Pleasant.

Outside of the Old Village, Mount Pleasant offers family friendly communities with access to inland waterways, new hospitals and fantastic schools.  Just minutes to both IOP and Sullivan?s Island, it also has award winning golf courses at Rivertowne Country Club (designed by Arnold Palmer) and Charleston National (a Reese Jones course).  Towne Center and Oakland Plantation offer the big name shopping but in this town you can still find your small butcher, bagel and hardware store.

Here you can enjoy Patriots Point and the New Waterfront Park with lots of green space, pier fishing and evenings of outdoor music.  There are so many reasons why the citizens of this ?Bedroom Community? to Charleston is so cherished.
