Location, location, location! A 10 min drive over the Ravenel Bridge takes you into Charleston and it's cultural, epicurian, and educational delights. A 10 min drive over the ICW from Mt Pleasant puts your toes in the sands of Isle of Palms or Sullivan's Island. But even without crossing any bridges, Mt. Pleasant offers the best of lowcountry living that is steeped in history, surrounded by nature, and beautifully maintained.
My family has lived in Mt. Pleasant for 12 yrs now and we love it. The only negatives are the congestion and overdevelopment but it's not bad compared to similar places in Florida. We live in a quiet neighborhood near Ben Sawyer Blvd and we can be on Sullivans Island Beach in 5 mins, Charleston Harbor/Old Village 6 mins and downtown Charleston in 12 min's with plenty of great shops, restaurants and grocery stores in between. The people here are very nice and most people love access to Charleston for it's culture and restaurants and the Atlantic Ocean for the boating. This is a very safe town and deserves a better Niche rating.
Mount Pleasant, SC is a great place to live! I live in Dunes West, a gated community. Our neighborhood has 3 pools, tennis courts and a club house for dining. There are also amazing schools just a few miles down the road. I went to all of the schools and am about to graduate from Wando highschool. Not only do I have a great neighborhood and schools but I live about 15 minutes from the beach, Isle of Palms.
