About Mount Pleasant
Mount Pleasant (about 90,000 residents) is Charleston's largest and most suburb, spread across the east side of the Cooper River in Charleston County. It is effectively two towns in one: the historic Old Village with its oak-lined streets and Pitt Street Bridge park and the fast-growing corridors along U.S. 17 and I-526 — Carolina Park, Park West and Dunes West — packed with newer subdivisions and chain-to-boutique retail at Towne Centre. Shem Creek's docks and seafood restaurants are the social heart.
