East of the Cooper River
Mount Pleasant
The charming suburban town of Mount Pleasant sits east of the Cooper River from Downtown Charleston. It’s known for its boutique shops, beautiful waterways through the marshes, and a rich history that traces back to its colonial roots. Over the years, it has grown from a small village into a thriving community closely tied to Charleston.

Mount Pleasant is a blend of different atmospheres. From its origins as a fishing village to neighborhoods featuring elegant homes near golf courses and rivers, to planned communities with Lowcountry style houses connected to their own schools and businesses.
The town offers plenty of shopping and waterfront dining options, along with easy access to two beach islands: Sullivan’s Island and Isle of Palms.
What makes Mount Pleasant unique is its diverse nature. You can enjoy world-class shopping at Towne Centre or have a delightful evening meal on Shem Creek, watching the sunset. The town also boasts many exceptional neighborhoods. It’s rare for a Southern town of this size to provide such a variety of experiences.
