Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. Such a great place to live! It borders historic downtown Charleston, while also bordering Isle of Palms and Sullivans Island beaches. As one of the first locations settled outside of downtown, this location has one of (if not THE) largest draws of any community in Charleston. I've personally seen Mount Pleasant grow tremendously over the decades, and while 'change is inevitable, growth is optional', I've loved the growth that Mount Pleasant has experienced. The last census says that Mount Pleasant's population is right around 92,000. Which is the 4th largest city in the state of South Carolina.
It's that time to come out to the 2019 Taste of James Island! Come out and support James Island Outreach, and the town that you live in. Mingle with all your neighbors while enjoying some of the best weather that Charleston has to offer on April 27th at the First Baptist School Athletic Field.
So if you had to choose the best Mount Pleasant neighborhood to live in, where would you choose? First of all, I already know that we’d all like to be as close to downtown Charleston as possible, and either live on the water, or have water or marsh views, correct? Or how about finding that perfect charming house in The Old Village at a reasonable price or even a steal? I’ve been living here for over 30 years and I can tell you that the secret is out about Mount Pleasant, and there are no “steals” for Mount Pleasant neighborhoods close to town. Good deals, yes- but steals are hard to come by.
