Is Mount Pleasant, South Carolina a Good Place to Live?

Mount Pleasant is noted as the largest town in South Carolina and one of the fastest-growing towns in the nation. But is it a good place to live? In short, yes! In this article, I'll give you a run down on the area and a few neighborhoods you should consider. Located east of Charleston and separated by the Cooper River, Mount Pleasant is known for being convenient to the beaches of Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island. With its well-maintained public spaces, wide selection of shopping, entertainment, and dining options, as well as a healthy recreation program and public schools, Mount Pleasant has become an extremely popular place to live. 1. Park West The largest community in Mount Pleasant, Park West boasts 42 different sections within the master-planned development. Convenient to shopping, restaurants, and hospitals and close to the Isle of Palms connector for easy access to Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island - Park West is one of Mount Pleasant's most popular neighborhoods. Park West is a highly walkable neighborhood featuring wide streets, bike and walking paths, and sidewalks throughout. Neighborhood amenities include swimming pools, a full gym, and tennis courts with the Park West Recreation Center located right within the neighborhood. If you're looking for your new favorite watering hole, you can find the Dog & Duck just inside the entrance. And when you're ready to work off those pints, Crossfit Park West is just around the corner. Houses in Park West were built between 1999 and the present, with a median home price of $393,000.

Square footage ranges from 662 square feet for attached homes to 6,532 square feet for the largest single-family homes. Homes feature 1-6 bedrooms and 1-7 bathrooms. The community does have an HOA, and purchasing a home in Park West automatically enrolls you as a member of three separate associations: HOA (homeowners association), PWMA (Park West Master), and PWMA (Park West Amenity Center), so that's certainly something to keep in mind.

Charleston National Another golf course community, Charleston National features its own golf course as well but is also popular due to its proximity to Roper National hospital and the Intracoastal Waterway. It's also convenient for shopping and dining like Jack's Cosmic Dogs and East Bay Deli. This neighborhood also has easy access to the IOP Connector for trips to the Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island. This well-established neighborhood features great amenities such as a neighborhood pool, tennis courts, and walking/jogging trails. Mature live oaks, wetlands, lagoons, and landscaping throughout create a lovely setting in this well-maintained community.

Originally part of the neighboring town of Awendaw, it's been incorporated into the town of Mount Pleasant making it one of the furthest neighborhoods down Highway 17 from "Mount Pleasant proper." Situated among preserved wetlands and woods set away from Highway 17, Tupelo offers amenities such as a neighborhood pool, children's play park, and walking/jogging trails. A 10-minute drive puts you at Mount Pleasant Towne Center and 20 minutes gets you over the IOP Connector to access Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island.  Being further out doesn't mean going without. The fall of 2021 will bring a brick-and-mortar version of The Front Porch, a coffee and bakery spot originally operated from a food truck. You're also ideally located for quick trips to the local Costco, great Tex-Mex grub from Mex 1 Coastal Cantina , and fun spots like the Charleston Fun Park and Sewee Outpost. As a newer neighborhood, these single-family homes here were built between 2013 and 2020 with square footage ranging from 1,510 to 3,248 square feet.
